When Both Sides Win - A Memorable Transaction in North Tallinn

Some real estate transactions stick with you in a special way. Not just because the signatures are given and keys change hands, but because the entire process flows so remarkably smoothly and humanly. That is exactly what happened with this transaction in North Tallinn, where a cozy2-room apartment found a new owner.

The buyer was the beloved Estonian writer Tõnu Õnnepalu - a detail that added a unique dimension to the story. However, this deal wasn't special because of a name, but because of the people and the result.

Trust-Based Cooperation with the Seller

A huge thank you to the seller, Pille-Riin, with whom cooperation was clear, open, and very pleasant from start to finish. When a seller trusts the process and is willing to work together, it creates the conditions for a great result - and that is exactly how it went this time.

The apartment was positioned correctly on the market, and the interest was there. In the end, the seller received more for her home than she initially expected, which is always the best possible confirmation that the sales strategy and timing were spot on.

The Buyer Found Exactly What He Was Looking For

Equally important is the other side of the transaction. For the buyer, this wasn't just another apartment, but exactly the home he had been searching for - the right location, the right feeling, and the right layout. When both parties feel they got what they wanted (or even a little bit more), the transaction can be considered a true success.

A Small Story Within a Story

The transaction was notarized by Gunnar Savisaar, who added his own delightful nuance to the process - namely, he had once bought a house from Tõnu himself. This time the roles were reversed: Tõnu bought, and Gunnar certified. Such little life connections make every story even more memorable and human.

More Than Just Square Meters

This deal reminded me once again why I love this job. Real estate isn't just square meters, prices, and contracts. It is people’s stories, expectations, and new beginnings coming to gether.

I am sincerely glad that I could be part of this story and help reach a solution where both the seller and the buyer left the table satisfied.
