SOLD and Closed in Clermont FL!Another family took the plunge and now they are Florida residents. I first met this precious first-time homebuyer from Brooklyn NY two years ago. We saw many homes, then she decided to stay in NY. We kept in touch, I wasn’t surprised when she called me in March 2017 to let me know she made a decision to move to FL. The market was a lot different this time around than it was in 2015. When she found a home within her price range, there were multiple offers, as much as she wanted to be in the game of multiple offers, she had a certain amount to play with. We had been looking at three bedroom homes as that’s what she wanted but I took a chance and emailed her a two bedroom townhome in Clermont FL that was new to the market. She declined!Two weeks later, anothe... 06/29/2017
