Selling Your House? Close at Your Schedule
Selling a home can be filled with uncertainty. But for one first-time seller, the journey was more than a transaction—it was a spiritual alignment that led to a fair price, a smooth closing, and the continued growth of a local ministry. At Ana Home Buyers, we were honored to be part of this experience that turned a prayer into a purpose.
A Prayer, A Phone Call, and Divine Timing
When we reached out, the seller had already been contemplating a move. He wasn't actively listing or marketing the home. Instead, he had been praying, seeking direction for what to do next.
So when our team called, it wasn't just good timing; it felt like divine intervention. "The Lord was lining it all up," he shared during the interview. That spiritual spark laid the foundation for everything that followed.
A Relationship Built on Trust and Transparency
Our home-buying process isn't just about making offers—it's about making connections. From the first phone call, the seller noted that the experience felt natural and trustworthy. "It was like we already knew each other," he said.
Unlike the typical stress and friction of selling a house, he described our interaction as smooth, clear, and peaceful. There was no pressure, no haggling, just open communication and honesty.
A Thoughtful Journey to Closing
After the initial contact, the seller took about two weeks to reflect and pray further. He also discussed the sale with his brother, seeking clarity and peace about the decision. We kept in touch during this time—never pushing, always available.
One small challenge arose near the finish line: the mortgage company attempted to add $2,400 in hazard insurance. But thanks to our diligent title team, the issue was resolved quickly. The closing itself took less than 10 minutes.
How a $70,700 Asking Price Was Born Through Prayer
The most remarkable part of this story was how the seller arrived at his asking price: $70,700. The journey to this number wasn't based on conventional methods, such as market analysis or appraisals. Instead, it came from a moment of deep spiritual reflection. After discovering sewer line issues with the property, the seller felt prompted to take a prayer walk—a time for introspection, faith, and guidance. During this walk, $70,700 came to him, clear and precise, as if it were meant to be.
Trusting in the process and his clarity, he presented his asking price to us with absolute conviction. It wasn't a number he had to justify with spreadsheets or comparisons; it was a number rooted in faith, and he stood by it. What's even more extraordinary is how it resonated with us. From the beginning, the process had been marked by a sense of alignment, as though everything was unfolding exactly as it should. When he shared his price, there was no negotiation, back-and-forth, or hesitation on our part. It was as if we, too, recognized the significance of that moment.
His faith had guided him to a number, and in honoring it, we completed a transaction that felt far more meaningful than a simple business deal. It was a testament to the power of trust—trust in the process, trust in ourselves, and trust in something greater. This story serves as a reminder that sometimes, the most unexpected paths lead to the most remarkable outcomes.
From Closing Table to Community Outreach
The story didn't end at closing. The check the seller received—made out for the full $70,700—is now fueling something much greater: his ministry.
He's using the proceeds to stock blessing boxes with food, distribute clothes and Bibles, and support outreach efforts like Embrace Hope. He described the transaction as a sale and a stepping stone to serve more people in need.
His story so moved Alex and Antonio that they followed up with a surprise delivery, bringing food to support his ongoing mission.
Breakout Section: Why This Story Matters
This wasn't just about buying a house; it was about finding a home. It was about truly listening, understanding someone's deeper needs, and honoring their spiritual journey. It was about enabling them to continue doing what matters most to them, helping them move forward in a way that aligns with their purpose and beliefs. This wasn't just a transaction—it was a moment of connection, compassion, and trust.
This sale is a powerful reminder that real estate isn't only about numbers, contracts, or market trends. It's about the people behind the deals, their stories, their dreams, and the lives they're building. It's about purpose and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact, no matter how small it may seem.
When you can say "yes" to someone's heartfelt prayer—and match it down to the dollar they're asking for, you realize you're doing more than just closing a deal. You're stepping into something much bigger. You're becoming part of their story, their journey, and the good that's being paid forward. This makes real estate truly special—it's not just business; it's about building a foundation for lives, dreams, and futures. And that's something worth celebrating every time.
