I pride myself on no “oh crap” moments.

Not because real estate is perfect but because I’m proactive, I ask the hard questions, and I plan things down to the comma.

But this one? This one nearly broke my streak.

A date mix-up on the buyer’s side had snowballed into a last-minute scramble.
If you’ve ever wanted a visual for sheer panic, imagine me refreshing my inbox while trying not to visibly sweat through my blouse.
The market was softening.

But that’s why I do what I do the way I do it.

So that when “oh crap” moments try to sneak in, I’m already ten steps into the solution.
