How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

During a time when all buyers were competing in over-ask & multiple-offer scenarios, this deal was found listed FSBO on Zillow. The seller had just fallen out of escrow and we swooped in and listened to what was most important to her! Sometimes money isn't always a seller's #1 motivation. The seller was moving out of state & couldn't take her furniture with her. In order to help alleviate this paint point this deal included a Bill of Sale for furniture in the home!
