I was working on a 1031 exchange and only had 45 days to find a house. My agent and I looked every weekend and weekday possible to find something. So many houses needed so much in repairs. Then, my agent told me about a house (over my price range) that had been on the market awhile, but had been completely remodeled. I agreed to see it and wow! I knew it was the one. After some negotiations, I was able to purchase it within one week of losing my 1031 exchange, and am so happy I did. My agent was with me all the way and encouraged me not to give up hope, and she was right. Great experience, great agent!
