Dynamic Duo And A Match Made In Heaven.

By Living Room Realty, August 10, 2021

Kevin and Ashley are a dynamic duo with a love of nature and travel.  So they decided to make the Pacific North West home and wanted to grow deeper roots.  When we set out to hunt for the right home, Kevin and Ashley knew they both wanted a craftsman with good bones in a close in location within Portland.

Many listings came up that were interested in but they liked flew off the market before they felt right about making an offer. One listing came up on that they made an aggressive offer on without being reckless, and we ended up in backup due to the first position being 20% over the list price.
Shortly there after, a listing in Grant Park just dropped its price significantly. They had no deadline but buyers were circling so we moved quickly and to protect them from over bidding we used an escalation clause as the listing agent and seller were excepting those. We secured getting into contract at a price that they felt comfortable.
We quickly had their inspections and negotiated sizable credit for repairs needed. They also received an appraisal waiver which validated the price that they submitted this was a huge win because it allowed them to close earlier so that they can get start it on their move sooner and out of their month to month rental.
This home has given them the opportunity to give them a base in Portland so that they can continue while traveling and experiencing nature.

Something that stood out to us in working with them was how in tuned they both were to each other and how well they were able to communicate as a couple.  We couldn’t be more excited for Kev and Ash on accomplishing their goal against the odds in this market. Congratulations to you both on succeeding in this huge accomplishment in home ownership!

Cheers to you both!
