3103 Oak Ave., Coconut Grove, FL 33133
3 beds/2.5 baths | 2,200 sf | built in 2004 | rented for $3,800/month

You may recall that I recently listed this townhouse in Center Coconut Grove, and I’m pleased to inform you that the property just closed!  Although the property was originally listed for sale, the owners ultimately decided to also list it for rent due to the short time frame in which they were closing on their new home.  Their hope was that this would increase the number of prospects for the property and thus provide them with the cash they needed for their new purchase.  The perfect solution? A lease with an option to buy!  We ended up finding a couple that was in the process of selling their own home and looking to relocate to the Grove.  They needed to be out of their house quickly, but they weren’t prepared to buy a new house in that short amount of time.  As a result, they entered into a lease for $3,800/month and paid a non-refundable deposit for an option to buy the house within a certain number of months and at an agreed-upon price (I cannot disclose the sales price until the property closes, assuming the renters exercise the option to buy).  This type of transaction is not all that common, but in this case, it was an ideal arrangement for all of the parties!
