Blog Buyer 36,000 Ft in the Air

36,000 Ft in the Air

By Living Room Realty, January 7, 2019

Time was of the essence when Andrew called, he found his jewel of a house and wanted to submit an offer promptly. I was in route headed home from our family vacation from Costa Rica to Portland, OR with two layovers and having to be in air for 8 hours. I knew I’d have to find the most efficient and focused time to draft a precise offer while floating in the clouds. So, our offer commenced 36,000 ft in the air on United Airlines.  

The last time Andrew had called me to submit an offer on the home he and his twin Alex bought 3 years ago, my beautiful wife was in labor with our beautiful daughter Sadé Bloom.  It’s always such a fun adventure working with them. 

I originally met Andrew with his twin brother Alex 3 years ago during an open house at one of our listings; I had long flowing dreadlocks at the time. Immediately after connecting with them, I recognized what special geniuses they were. Andrew is astute with his numbers and Alex is Carlos Santana when he plays his guitar. 

Back in 2016 the market was much different, we were deep into a seller’s market, we competed against multiple offers on several homes before we finally landed the perfect home for them at that time. This time around, Andrew set out this voyage on his own and after careful preparation, when the right home revealed itself we got into contract right away. 

I am so excited for your new adventure Andrew & April! Cheers to your new home sweet home.
