What Does It Look Like When a North Andover MA Condo Gets Treated Like a Big Deal?
The quick answer: A condo owner in North Andover MA has worked with Lisa Sevajian since 2006. The owner said her condo wasn't close to a multi-million dollar home, yet Lisa Sevajian treated it like one. When the deal got hard, Lisa fought for her and put in hours day and night to reach closing.
You love your condo. You also wonder, quietly, whether anyone will fight as hard for it as they would for a big house on a hill.
You'd think the price of a home decides how hard it gets worked. It shouldn't.
When you own a condo, it's easy to feel like the small file on someone's desk. If you've ever felt that way, you aren't alone.
Here's what one condo owner in North Andover MA said about our years together. No names, just her real words from her review.
What was the situation?
This client had a condo in North Andover MA. We've worked together since 2006.
She said it plainly. North Andover MA has a lot of expensive real estate, and her condo wasn't one of those homes.
What made it hard?
Her review doesn't list every detail of the deal. It does say this: she wouldn't have made it to closing without help.
Condo deals have their own extra steps. There are condo documents, the association's budget and insurance, and a lot of people who all need to say yes. When one piece slips, it can feel like the whole thing is falling apart.
How do I help in a move like this?
Every home gets the same plan, whatever the price. That's how I've worked since I started in 2006.
For a condo, I ask for the condo documents early. That means the master insurance, the bylaws, the budget and the meeting minutes. Then I keep every person on the deal moving on the same timeline.
When something goes wrong, I stay on it. Early mornings, late nights, weekends, whatever it takes to keep you on track for closing.
What happened?
She said I treated her and her condo like a multi-million dollar property. Her words, not mine, were that it wasn't even close.
She said I fought for her and put in hours, day and night, to help her. She also said she would never have made it to closing without that work.
She said what matters most to her isn't only what I know. It's passion, commitment and integrity.
“I would never have made it to closing without her.”
