A former rental could support travel and future family plans
The retired owner was ready to sell a rental that needed attention. Steve worked around her travel schedule and agreed on a price she considered fair.
Retirement changed the purpose of the property
The owner had recently retired from government work and wanted to travel. Her renter had not cared for the house well. Plans to keep the property in the family had changed, and she preferred to use the proceeds for her next chapter.
A fair number and an unusual calendar
She understood the price she wanted, and Steve considered it reasonable. The scheduling challenge was finding a time between her cruises when she would be available to close. Steve accommodated the changes in her travel calendar.
Freedom to use the proceeds differently
Her plans included travel and later helping her daughter buy a house. Selling the rental gave her the opportunity to use the property’s value in those ways instead of continuing to manage it.
