Who Wants a New Home for the Holidays?

Imagine with me:

It’s December 24. 

You pull a wine glass out of your new kitchen cabinet. It’s dark outside (by 5 pm but who’s counting??), and there’s a roaring fire in the fireplace. The tree is lit up and decorated with your favorite ornaments, and it’s the only light besides the fire. Twinkle lights illuminate the glitter on the stockings you’ve placed on the mantel (with care) as Bing Crosby is singing nostalgia in the background. The home smells like your favorite dessert, the lingering laughter of your guests still reverberating off walls that display christmas cards, the first ones sent to your new address, from friends and family. You’ve had a wonderful time celebrating with those you care about, inviting them into your new home; a home that will welcome them for many holidays and special events to come. You pour a glass of wine and hand it off, settling in for an evening of Christmas movies and cozy vibes.

This could be you.

Can you be in a new home before Christmas??

Why yes, yes you can 🙂

‘Tis impossible!’ you cry, citing the hassle and terrible undertaking it is to move during the most wonderful time of the year.

If this is your protest, please carry on, intrepid reader.

It’s a hassle to move at any time of year; add the holidays in on top of that, and you have a mixture that even the most hardy of constitutions might dread.

Here at Better Homes & Gardens, I’m here to make sure this transaction is the smoothest it can be, even as ol Saint Nick is gearing up for his sleigh and checking the reigns on Rudolf.

I bring merry tidings.

Benefit #1- Metro Brokers Financial

You’re free to use any lender that your heart desires, you have zero obligation (even with signing me on as your Realtor) to work with a Metro Brokers Financial lending officer.

But there’s a few advantages in doing so.

A Metro Brokers lender will get you the best deal on the market. They shop around and are able to find you the best rates possible for your specific situation. They’re licensed and have to have a minimum number of years experience to even be considered for the job with Metro Brokers. In other words, they’re not a fly by night lender. Plus, the lender who covers my office is in the top 1% of mortgage lenders in the COUNTRY for closed deals. They know what they’re doing, and they’ll take care of you. 

Last but not least… They can close in as little as 20 days.

Yes, 20 days.

That is not a typo.

Benefit #2- Movers Concierge 

Exclusive to Better Homes & Gardens agents, we have BHGRE Movers’ Concierge. As soon as you go Under Contract on a home, we sign you up and have our team turn the lights on for you. They handle utilities, home security, internet, television, and phone services. You make the call to us, and we handle the little things that can make a move seem so tedious and overwhelming. Also, it’s a complimentary service, simply because you chose me as the agent to assist you with your real estate needs.

Benefit #3- Vendor Partners

We have partnerships with PODS, Budget Trucks, and Atlanta Peach Movers. Any moving need you have, our partners can handle. They are licensed and insured to make sure your stuff gets from point A to point B in one piece, so you can focus on bigger things. 

Benefit #4- Less Competition

This is historically a slow time for buyers and sellers, for obvious reasons. But that also gives a unique opportunity not available the rest of the year. While most buyers are waiting for spring (additional info here), they aren’t looking at that 3 bedroom, 2 bath beauty 20 minutes from your work with that cute little coffee shop close by. Not as many eyeballs means you have a better shot at securing that deal. Most buyers’ loss is most definitely your gain.

So… Who wants a new home for the holidays??
