"It was very interesting," he says of the rest of the house. "It's cute. It's not as big as we thought. Two of the bedrooms are decent size. The third one is teeny-tiny. The bathrooms need updating. The kitchen is small."
Juliette and John Perko say they like the house a lot.
However, Juliette says: "This is a little bit out of our range, but we wanted to check it out. 'Cause you never know. We've seen houses that have been on the market for 200 days and dropped $200,000."
David Theis says he has no problem with the size of the house, but the one bathroom upstairs is a major drawback.
"I need two bathrooms upstairs because I have two daughters. I know when they got to be teenagers, I'd wait all my life to get in the bathroom."
Matthew Guyer gives the house a thumbs-up, but says, "I think it's a little bit overpriced."
By Monday, there are two offers. One, Lee said, was a "lowball." The other is just right.
"We are delighted," he said.
Donna Evers, who visited the house with the other agents, commented later: "Obviously it was priced correctly, because it went under contract immediately with happy sellers."
Lee said he was particularly happy that the buyers, a couple living in a condominium, fell in love with the place, just as he and his wife had done almost 22 years ago.
"It was more for somebody special who really loved the way the house was," he said. "Of all of the people, they absolutely said repeatedly they love the house."
Lee said he and his wife were married in the back yard a couple of months after they moved in. He said the new buyers mentioned tying the knot in the back yard as well.
Given that the house sold so quickly, did Lee have any second thoughts about the price? Should it have been higher?
"That's a very good question," he said. "I think that we did what we wanted to do. It was the right price to advertise it at."
He said: "We're very, very happy we don't have to prolong the open house and selling time. Having priced it right, being done with it is a great relief, and now we can focus instead on our golf and tennis."
