A house came up for sale in westerly (where we are looking) the other week and we were legitimately so excited. It was a small bungalow, needed a little updating but would have made a perfect starter home for us. It was also under 400k and seemed too good to be true. It was close enough to where we live now that I walked by to make sure we weren’t being house-catfished.

It was pending sale literally 24 hour later. Didn’t even make it to the open house.

Gotta get in good with a realtor who can show you something before an open house - avoid the whole bidding war if possible

A good realtor lol. You don’t need a realtor fir anything but giving away your money.

Then don’t get one. I’m just saying you’re not throwing away your money because you don’t pay them. And mine sure made my life a hell of a lot easier by doing all the work.

I think I know that house! Do you have a realtor? I know a good one in Westerly if you need one.

We don’t yet! Still very much early, but I think that’s the next step

I used Annie Fox, she has a good network and got us the house we wanted and needed. There’s also Kimber Pope-Kettlety, she’s like the queen of So County real estate so I’m not sure if she’s accepting buyers as clients.

Check out Bradford. It’s one of the Westerly Villages so you get the lower taxes and it has tons of hiking trails. We love it.

Well that’s a terrible realtor. Should have had it on the market for at least a week to get multiple parties interested. Sorry 😞
