Unexpected Closing on a Deal: The Most Time Spent

Описание: In today’s video, I’m sharing the story of the most complex, frustrating, and time-consuming real estate transaction I’ve ever worked on. From managing showings, inspections, and appraisals around four tenants to navigating multiple failed attempts with buyers and lenders, this deal had it all—and then some.

The first buyer tried everything to make it work, going through two lenders, ordering three appraisals, and still couldn’t close. We even had to deal with the fire department reissuing the smoke certificate three times! Unfortunately, the deal fell apart, and the buyer lost their deposit.

The second buyer had their own challenges, needing *two and a half months* to close. They did their own inspections and appraisals, and after a long wait, the deal finally came through. What started as an October listing didn’t close until June of the following year.

What made this deal even more difficult? I had to juggle it all while recovering from surgery. It was hands down the most time-consuming deal I’ve worked on—more than a year-long new construction project where I was mostly waiting for things to happen.

What did I learn from this experience? Well, when it comes to real estate, anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. But despite all the setbacks, the deal eventually closed, and I came out with valuable lessons about perseverance, patience, and staying calm under pressure.
