Medway Real Estate - Just Sold 24 Hookset Circle, Medway Massachusetts. Sold at $360,101. Sold by Bill Gassett RE/MAX Executive Realty. Sold on 2/27/09
I just sold this home at 24 Hookset in Medway Massachusetts a few weeks ago. The buyers were excellent clients and I enjoyed working with them very much. I had previously sold their home in Hopkinton last year and they were waiting for the perfect home to come on the market.
What is so interesting about these guys is that I knew exactly what they liked after working with them for many months. This is not always the case with many buyers. The 1st time we saw this home was at night and it was pitch black outside.
I had looked at all the photography online and knew exactly what the floor plan and the condition seemed to show. Before they even set foot in the house I told them they were going to buy it. I made this prediction while standing on the side walk in 20 degree weather. This is the 1st time I had ever made such a bold statement to a buyer! They both looked at me like I was off my rocker:)
While walking in the immediate 1st impression was that the property was in excellent shape. You could tell the owner had a lot of pride in their home. The best features were the large kitchen that was open to a very nice family room with a fireplace. The bedrooms were all good size. My buyers really liked the home and told me as we were leaving they most likely wanted to make an offer but wanted to sleep on it.
I told them we needed to act on this home because it was in an excellent neighborhood, priced really well, and at a price point where the inventory was really low. I mentioned to them that I thought the home would have multiple offers. The buyers ended up putting in an offer the next day and sure enough there were multiple bids. I explained that there are a few ways of handling multiple offers and that the seller/Realtor would probably ask for our best and final offer. This is exactly how things played out.
The home was listed at $359,900 and we ended up putting a bid in slightly over asking. My buyers really thought this Medway home had everything they wanted and did not want to lose it. We ended up with the winning bid and the rest is history.
While I do work with buyers my specialty is working with home sellers.

Great recap of the sale Bill. I've made that statement myself a time or two but never before going into the house. That was pretty brave of you but you must have have a great feeling about it and the pics must have been very true to life. Have a nice weekend.
You are THE MAN Bill, but I knew you were versatile and smart.. and now you tell me you are Irish!
We have seen more and more bidding wars and sales over list price lately here in Miami. SIX of the offers I wrote for my clients last week were ALL outbid by at or over list price offers from other buyers. The tide is changing, slowly but surely!
Bill, it's amazing how easy it is for us to figure out exactly what some of our clients want... Right now I am working with a client I have been helping since 11/06... Yes, you read correctly, 06. Two years ago I took her to the neighborhood where she is going to buy and told her that this is where she needed to be. Two years later, we are days from writing a contract on a property in that very neighborhood. She hasn't made an offer yet, so the jury is still out, but I am hopeful that "The sun will come out tomorrow..." :-)
Congratulations! If I were in that area and needed a Realtor, you would definitely be my first choice. I haven't considered celebrating my successes in my blog - great job.
Bill, Am I seeing that house for the first time? It is identical to a home we owned in Sherborn, MA. Congratulations Karen
Bill -- what a nice looking home. I am sure that the buyers were happy to have you guiding them through the process! It is amazing that if we take the time to listen, we can quickly learn what the buyer's are looking for. Congrats.
Looks like a great home. Nice to have clients that believe in you.
Bill - What a great story and how wonderful it must have been for you and your buyers to have had the winning bid on the home of their dreams. Your intuition about his home and your buyers is what helped to make it happen. Congratulations on a great sale!
Bill ~ Am I the one who keeps telling you how lucky your clients are to have you as their agent? I guess when you are right, you are right! Great story and congratulations to both you and your buyers!
You're a Rock Star, Bill!!! You actually listen to your clients...and that's what makes you an awesome Realtor!

Hi Bill:
Congradulations of the sale - it looks like a nice home!
:)
Hey Bill, congrats on the sale. It's a great house. Keep up the good work!
Bill, congratulations on a great sale. Looks like you took care of your clients very well. The house looks good too.
Bill, That home is gorgeous. I have no doubt you know your buyers well and what their tastes are and love to hear that. Long ago I had a realtor that took me to homes she KNEW I wouldn't be interested in....it was a waste of both our time. Congrats to you AND your lucky clients.
Great job Bill, as always.
Hi Bill...over listing price? Wow...was it a REO or bank owned? We are getting multiple offers for those. How NICE you could let them know they would buy it. ;-)
Bill,
Congrats on the sale!

Hi Bill-Congrats on another fine home Sold!
Hi Bill--This is just proof that you are the consumate professional--you actually listen to your clients' needs and find what they're looking for in a home. Listing IS your gig but, because you represent sellers so well, it helped you with your understanding of your buyers needs.
Congrats on a job well done--happy clients are an investment in your future!
Bill - Congratulations. I love the idea of you sharing your experience with your buyers and you really found them a nice home. The key is really focusing on their needs which you did. I am working with a buyer who I tried telling that the house he truly loved would get multiple offers and even when it did happen he just would not accept the fact, and thought it was a marketing ploy. When clients listen to your professional advice it makes the process fun for all; however when the buyer knows it all from watching the TV shows the process can be a nightmare.
Sheldon, Mattt Tony, Kay Carole, Sam - Thanks for all you compliments on my sale at 24 Hookset Circle in Medway. They are all much appreciated.
Teri - The home was not bank owned. Believe it or not we still do have an occasional multiple offer situation when the home is priced well and in certain prices points with low inventory.
Ann & Joe - Thanks. I appreciate it!
Debe - Thanks for the comps. Some buyers are just great to work with and others are more challenging. This couple was truly fun to represent.
Jennifer - That is a shame that there is no trust involved. Those are the clients that are always more difficult. Fortunately I have had only a few of those over the years.
Bill congrats on the sale and I never thought of posting SOLDS in my blog but I used to send out "SOLD" cards all the tome so it makes sense! Thanks!
Congratulations Bill!
Congratulations on the sale of this house.
Now that's a newsworthy story......the one with SOLD on the sign. Way to go and big congrats :-)
Russ, Randi, Rebecca, Gail - Thanks for all your compliments on the sale at Hookset Circle in Medway!
Congrats on the successful sale - Great blog post!
Thanks Amber.
Bill - I loved reading about how you counseled your buyers. They were lucky to have you for their agent.
