The action

The sellers of this three-bedroom townhouse rejected an offer this spring and brought in a new agent, Bill Thom. Mr. Thom cast the net for a new round of buyers, but also reached out to the initial bidders. That phone call and the negotiations that followed eventually resulted in a firm purchase agreement.

“We got an offer from him and brought it up to the price the vendor wanted to sell for,” Mr. Thom said.

“Sometimes buyers change their position. They certainly came in much higher than they were willing to pay before.”

“This is an end unit, so that was a selling feature, and the seller also maintained it very well,” Mr. Thom said.

“The house has a separate entrance to a finished basement with a kitchen, so it could be a studio apartment.”
