MY PIVOT YEAR â¨PART 2â¨
When you lose your income and your credit ability, while re-developing houses, it gets REAL! Thatâs when the true roller coaster ride starts and thatâs when you learn every last bit about the fancy thing called âcreative financingâ. I donât like roller coasters and this one was a rough one, but oh did it teach me! The lessons are abundant: from financial, to personal to more practical like HOW TO BUILD A HOUSE AND SELL IT.
The real estate project became my full time job. LOVD was slowly moving ahead, while it was put on the back burner.
After a year and a half managing construction daily, solving for an infinite amount of problems, working with contractors and vendors, sourcing materials, designing the interiors to the highest standards and utilizing only the materials I would want to see in my own house, the product was finished and I was proud. The intention was to create a high end property, built to a solid, European standard, never cutting a corner and WE DELIVERED. We added value and built a million dollar home! Then came the time to find it a new fabulous owner.
After initially listing the house myself in January (it wasnât my first rodeo), I got two offers pretty immediately. The winning offer, however, did not come until a couple months later and it came from the very first person I showed the house to, before it even hit the market, a potential new owner I personally nurtured: my own client, of my own small business, LOVD.
Thatâs how I came to selling my very first Million-Dollar Listing.
