A number at the kitchen table that did not move

Overview

Joanne, 78, was moving to a senior community in Pennsylvania with a move-in date already set. Her 1962 ranch had been in the family since it was built.

What We Did

We walked it once, gave her a written number, and put the no-renegotiation term in the contract in plain language so her son could read it. We also scheduled the closing to land four days after her community move-in date so she was not homeless in between.

Outcome

Closed at the exact offer number. The settlement statement matched the offer to the dollar, which is the entire point.
