Double-Secret Contingency        

By Drew Burchette, June 30, 2020

Sometimes in a real estate transaction you end up with several dominos lined up. The status of a couple of sales in other states can set up a chain reaction right here in the neighborhood. When you really think about it…it is kinda crazy. The employment status or emotional state of a stranger in Phoenix can throw a monkey wrench in to your life up here. It is an interconnected world for sure.

Writing an offer, as a buyer’s agent, that is contingent on the sale of another property is a delicate affair. I’ve got to make sure that all the bases are covered and all the questions are answered before putting it out there. When my clients Jimmy & Carl found a RAD house, with an elevator, in SW Portland they still had an out of state sale pending. And THAT sale was contingent too. Yikes! Their offer was as solid as it could be, and it beat out the competition.

One by one the dominos fell the way we wanted them to and everyone was happy. It gives me faith in humanity to think about how many people had to honor their word, and do what they said they would, to get those sales closed.

I arrived in the real estate business over a decade ago and have since helped scores of people buy and sell their homes. The groundswell that I created in my practice is rooted in the relationships that I have nurtured over the years. My style is educational, and I see myself as the coach and leader of your real estate transaction. My coaching is geared towards empowering you to make informed decisions that will lead to your best possible outcome. I excel at asking the questions that get to the heart of the matter which in turn enables a smooth sale process. Away from the office I am passionate about so many things, but it all begins and ends with my family. My boys are both in elementary school and parenting is an ongoing challenge and joy for my wife and I. We love to travel around Oregon, the East Coast, Mexico and beyond. My passion for surfing, kiteboarding, and fishing help to keep me grounded in life. Read more reviews
