Closing the deal

Today I closed two very long escrows, one client that started looking at homes almost a year and a half ago. Initially they started looking to lease something here in town, they live part time in New York and spend a lot of time lately in Los Angeles. After looking at a lot of property, the finally decided they should buy a home here, that search took over six months and interesting thing about them, husband and wife, they both thought they were on the same page about what style and type of home they were interested in but in the end, they both had very different ideas about what they really liked. It was complicated but in the end worked out. I think they picked out a lovely home in the perfect neighborhoood, quiet, private and secluded.

The other deal was a large condominium in Century City, my partner Daniel and I were the second agents to get the listing, the seller an older gentleman, needed to sell in order to maintain his lifestyle as he grows older. His daughters were basicaly in control of the deal and orchestrated the final deal. It was emotion packed, very sad and tough watching he and his daughers interact, I am sure it brought up old family feelings and rememberance of the loss of his wife, there mother and how life just moves so quickly and our immortality.

I am glad they are both done, took a lot of work and energy but I think the end result was good for everyone.
