Jon and Katie just bought a great house. It wasn’t quick or easy, but they scored a win in the end!
Over the course of 6 months they wrote 6 offers. Cash buyers kept edging them out of winning position. Jon and Katie were doing all the right things. They made strong offers and wrote personal letters to the homeowners and they worked with a great local lender. We tailored their offers to meet the sellers needs and schedules. We’ve all heard the phrase “Cash is King,” and that is a reality for homebuyers!
Sellers tend to favor cash buyers because a deal can close quickly without the challenges that sometimes occur with lenders, appraisals, and loan underwriters. Jon and Katie persevered with resilience and an optimistic attitude. They had a clear vision of what they wanted in a house and where they wanted to live. They appreciate old home style and character, and they were drawn to the Alameda neighborhood in NE Portland where Jon grew up.
In the end they were rewarded with the keys to a nicely updated Alameda home with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths and a beautiful, private garden. Congratulations and welcome home!
