Berwyn Home Sold!

A little over a month ago, I listed a two-bed room brick ranch in Berwyn, a quiet little subdivision just east of downtown Columbus. I was a little nervous about the listing because I've always been told "two-bedrooms don't sell." It also was on a slab, but it did have a one-car garage.


This was a lovely brick ranch in Berwyn, where I'd sold a home recently, so I felt fairly comfortable the home could sell, as there is an active market that attracts a particular buyer. Berwyn is an older area where the neighbors seem to know and watch out for each other.

I actively marketed the property to other agents, called almost 200 homes in a half-mile radius to tell them I just listed, and sent out "Just Listed" postcards.

We had only one showing the first three weeks so we reduced the price. Right away we received a cash offer from one of the neighbors at 96% of market value and we're set to close by June 30th.

I could have allowed those negative thoughts to cloud my attitude, which would have turned into a self-limiting belief.

I'm certainly not saying to accept every listing, as you need to evaluate each home based on its qualities, but don't allow someone else's insides to affect your outsides.
