Ben + Tjorven finally got their keys!
Relocating from Corvallis, B+T came to me through friends of my past clients. I was VERY excited to see their 207 area codes (nothing better than meeting fellow Mainers on the west coast!)
After lots of weekend trips to Portland, they made an offer on a house in July. Unfortunately, inspections turned up a bit more than they had bargained for. They had to listen to their gut and let go.
Their August and September were filled with work and travel, so they took a break from the house hunt and we agreed to regroup at the end of September.
During that time, Ben and Tjorven were able to reassess their priorities and their 5 and 10 year goals. This reflection time was invaluable, and they re-entered the search with crystal clear vision.
Ben and Tjorven ended up purchasing a clean but slightly outdated home in a better location for more than $100K less than the first house.
On top of that, we were able to get the house under list price, all of their closing costs covered, AND an additional $7K for repairs!
During the buying process, nothing is more important than trusting your instinct. With patience and thoughtfulness, Ben and Tjorven made decisions that worked for their short- and long-term vision.
Cheers to Ben & Tjorven on the purchase of their first home!
