“I TELL YOUNG COUPLES TO GET
THEIR HOUSE SOLD AND GO LIVE WITH MOM AND DAD SO THEY CAN COMPETE”
—MEDIA-BASED REALTOR SHIRLEY BOOTH
MONTGOMERY COUNTY
REALTOR MYR
NA
JOSEPHS ADVISED A YOUNG COUPLE WITH A TODDLER AND A BABY ON THE WAY TO PASS ON A HOUSE THAT WAS CLEARLY TOO SMALL FOR THEIR GROWING FAMILY. “IN TWO YEARS, THEY WOULD HAVE TO MOVE AGAIN,” SHE SAYS.
are on overdrive in guiding her buyers through an intensely complex and competitive market. She wants them to find a home that will make them happy—and she doesn’t want them to be unhappy if prices drop precipitously and more houses come on the market.
Myrna Josephs also prides herself in developing close relationships with clients.
The Montgomery County-based realtor recently counseled a prospective buyer of a home built in the 1930s not to forgo a home inspection. “There are too many things that can go wrong with a house that’s almost 90 years old,” says Josephs, an agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox & Roach in Spring House.
She advised one young couple with a toddler and a baby on the way to pass on a house that was clearly too small for their growing family.
“In two years, they would have to move again,” she says.
The couple immediately sold their condo in Philadelphia for full price and set their sights on Lower Merion, where the wife grew up. To be more competitive, they’ve upped their budget to $850,000 and are willing to do some work on a house. They’ve bid on four homes, making offers up to $45,000 over the asking price. They’ve been beaten every time—most recently by a competitor paying cash. In the meantime, they’re staying with the in-laws.
Each time a house comes on the market, Josephs whisks them in for a showing. Recently, a house popped up with four bedrooms and a big kitchen—just what the couple is looking for. There’s just one problem: It’s next to a cemetery. “We’re taking a look,” Josephs says. MLT
