I was in my backyard gardening this past July when our neighbor, Rosemary, called me over to the fence. "Anita, I want you to move closer to my grand kids. Can you help me sell my house?" I said Ithought I could and we scheduled a time to get together. A few days later we were sitting at her dining room table going over the paperwork and I was explaining the timeframe that our contract together would be, which was 3 months.
She looked at me and said, "Anita, you won't need that long. You're going to sell this house in 3 days. And, it is going to close on July 31st." Mind you that by now it was already July 7th.
I could tell that she was intently serious. "Yes, that is possible," I agreed with her, liking her postive mind-set.
Well, we didn't sell the home in 3 days, we sold it in 4 days, AND it closed on July 31st!
I got to thinking about what was different with Rosemary, and other clients whose homes sell quickly, and some of our clients whose homes don't sell quickly. There was a common denominator: the ones whose homes sold fast had positive, intentional, specific thoughts about the successful sale of their home. They did not even entertain thoughts, regardless of what the media, friends and family told them about the real estate market. In fact, they happily did repairs and updates to their homes to prepare them for sale, knowing the work would help in attracting the buyer.
Since then we have been sharing Rosemary's story with other clients. What I've found is if the client is open to this thought process (or even if they are not!) they get exactly what they think about.
Similar to Rosemary's experience, a young couple, Mike and Melissa, were relocating to California - he had to be there for work on August 20, and she was going to follow within a week. Per my request, they worked on keeping the Law of Attraction in their thoughts, visioning who the new buyers were and that they were already on their way to their home and would appear in the next week. The home went on the market August 2nd, the new buyer appeared the next week, they closed on August 24th.
Simply put, it works. More to come on this fun process!
