96 Stoneleigh Road in New Canaan closed Friday for $2.2 million. When this bank owned foreclosed property hit the market and was listed for $2,299,000, I knew I had to move fast. I contacted my client in Florida. He came up on the next Jet Blue flight, saw the house in the morning, then we all met with his attorney and we put the written offer in. The initial offer was not accepted and other offers came in but in the end, he made the best and cleanest offer that the bank received and he got the house. In one week's time, the property closed as a cash sale with no mortgage. While there is much work to be done on the house and property, my client is very happy for having put in the effort and for paying attention to the right opportunity when it arises. If you have any special requirements or desires in terms of acquiring a specific type of property, let me know and I will be on the lookout for you.
