The very best call a real estate broker can receive is a call from a buyer where they let you know they were referred to you and want to work with you and they already found a house they want to write an offer on. In real life though, it’s never quite as easy as that sounds. When my buyer Brittney called me in late April she and her family had fallen in love with a house in Brentwood Darlington they just saw at an open house and they wanted to put an offer in, but she didn’t have a broker yet. Thankfully I was available and I high tailed it over to the house to see for myself, and then right afterwards met with Brittney and her partner at a coffee shop to discuss.
Later that evening we wrote up the offer and submitted it. Since nothing is quite this easy, the offer was sadly rejected. But it wasn’t all sad news because just a couple of weeks later, Brittney and her family found a sweet farmhouse in the Ardenwald neighborhood of Milwaukie that was overall a better fit plus it has a gigantic park-like yard. And thankfully this time her offer was accepted. Inspections went smoothly and with a great lender, we closed on time. Congratulations Brittney!
