Project Oliver Update:
This all happened so quickly...
Two Tuesdays ago, on March 11th, my business partner and I were on our 3rd or 4th call of the day.
He goes, "Have you noticed there's not a single New Construction house on the market in our target price range for Oliver?"
I go, "I know, we have to finish and get it listed ASAP!"
"Let's just list it now..." he suggested.
I replied, "We just hung drywall, dude. Floors and tile aren't even in yet."
"Who cares? Call Amy!" He demanded.
*I conference in our agent, Amy Burakovsky*
"Amy, we want to list Oliver... tomorrow!"
We explained our reasoning and she agreed.
She listed it first thing the following morning and proceeded to spend the entire day fielding interest. Relo buyers from California, Neighbors looking to upgrade, etc. The whole gamut.
By Friday afternoon, she told us we'd receive an offer Monday morning.
She wasn't kidding. A couple, who currently lives down the street, submitted an offer above our asking price (without ever even going into the house).
We were ready to accept their offer on one condition: they must go see the inside.
For them, it was a formality. They've been watching us like hawks and were waiting for the right time to pounce. As soon as they saw the sign in the yard and the listing go live, they jumped.
We had one round of comments in Attorney Review and in less than 48 hours, we were officially under contract!
Now we sprint to the finish line with closing scheduled for on or before June 30th, 2025. 🎉 🎊
An absolutely crazy series of events.
My biggest takeaway from this experience is appreciating my partner's ability to seize the moment.
He saw a gap in the market and rushed to fill it with an incomplete solution.
While I was stuck on the house not being finished, he was ready to ship our minimum viable product.
A good reminder: Perfection is the enemy of Progress.
