The referral was made with me because I was familiar with Middletown after helping a seller list their home on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chrisanncleland.com\/index.php\/2022\/07\/28\/when-going-under-contract-is-not-immediate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Middle Road<\/a> earlier that year.  They were set to look at new construction the very next day with Ryan Homes.  The referring agent was adamant they have representation.  Having purchased my own home through a builder, I understood that one-hundred percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a brief meeting with the buyers in my office the day before, we went out to Ryan Homes&#8217; community Village at Middletown the following day.  It was Saturday.  The homes immediately hit a happy spot with the buyers, but writing an offer that day to take advantage of the savings a homesite special allowed felt overwhelming.  They needed to think it over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a few hours, my phone rang while I was vacuuming my home.  They were ready to make an offer.  While some agents might not see this as a must address now situation, I understood fully that it was a must act now moment if these buyers were going to be assured of the savings that special would bring.  So I jumped back in my &#8220;work clothes&#8221; and headed an hour down the road to meet with the Ryan Homes sales rep and my buyers to make sure the deal was inked the very same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large imageBorder_1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1879\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chrisanncleland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Signing-Contract-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1879\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chrisanncleland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Signing-Contract-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chrisanncleland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Signing-Contract-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.chrisanncleland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Signing-Contract-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.chrisanncleland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Signing-Contract-1.jpg 1296w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Signing the Contract to Build<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large imageBorder_1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chrisanncleland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Signing-Contract-2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chrisanncleland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Signing-Contract-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chrisanncleland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Signing-Contract-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.chrisanncleland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Signing-Contract-2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.chrisanncleland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Signing-Contract-2.jpg 1296w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Signing the Contract to Build<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that time, construction was expected to be completed in early April.
