As we move further into Spring and the weather pulls people out of doors, more and more agents and home sellers present their properties for open houses.   Open houses are great ways for agents to get home buyers in to see the properties they have for sale.    An open house allows the agent to set up the home to its best and be there to answer questions for any number of home buyers who come by rather than showing a home at all hours one by one.

The Anderson Group joins in the Spring fun with an Open House at two of their properties this Sunday, April 29th, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm.    1014 Lenox Crest and 4841 Manget Court are each wonderful traditional homes and should not be missed.

Here at The Anderson Group, we’re giving ourselves a hearty Pat On The Back.  Exchanging comments like ‘Job well done!’.  And overall, feeling pretty pleased with ourselves.

What’s the occasion for all this joviality?  Well, we’ve got another of our great listings under contract.  While that’s always sure way to put a smile on our faces (and those of our clients), the circumstances behind this one are the cause for the extra big smiles all around.  You see, 140 Knighthood Court went from ‘new listing’ to ‘under contract’ in just 9 days!!

 With the years of bad news regarding the housing market, many sellers have seen their homes listed for months on end.  They usually end up dropping their asking price every few months trying to attract attention and stand out from all those other homes for sale.  For both the seller and the agent it can be a very disheartening procedure.  But, sometimes the right combination of seller and agent come together and in no time at all that ‘new listing’ becomes ‘sale pending’.

So while Tom and Mary Ann Anderson are quite pleased with the news, it really isn’t that much of a surprise.  They’ve done it before.  Under a month is considered pretty great.  Two weeks is something rarely seen since the days of the housing boom 5 years ago.  12 hours (!) is just stunning under any conditions!  Yes, The Anderson Group have gone from ‘just listed’ to ‘under contract’ in all of those time frames.

So the sellers of 140 Knighthood Court, are really happy with their choice of  The Anderson Group as their realtors but then so are the sellers of 2203 Windermere Way and 3540 Horizon Court, who both sold their homes in March.  As are the sellers of  210 Grogans Lake Point and 1933 Lomita Road, whose homes went under contract in the last week.

Have a home you want sold?  Maybe you could be happy with The Anderson Group too!  Give Tom or Mary Ann a call.
