Eleventh Sale Made Over The Internet

ELEVENTH SALE MADE OVER THE INTERNET (I was selling real estate sight-unseen over the internet LONG before COVID)

Problem

The Sperbers live in New York and wanted to purchase a condo in downtown Seattle, but due to the COVID lockdown, they could not travel here to view properties.  Since it would be their second home, they wanted the option to be able to rent it through Airbnb.

Solution

First, I identified approximately seven condo buildings downtown that allows short-term rentals. Next, I toured condos for sale in several of these buildings,  with the clients on Zoom conferencing.  They selected a condo in a building with a 24-hour concierge and an indoor swimming pool, located a block from Pike Place Market. This unit was already running successfully as an Airbnb.  Through negotiations, I was able to get the seller to include all the furnishings and supplies at no additional cost.

About six weeks after closing, the Sperbers came out to Seattle to see their new condo for the first time! They were very happy with their purchase, as you can see from the big smiles on their faces.  Congratulations to Samantha and Stephen Sperber on your new 2nd home!
