Flipping the condo into a ranch, part 2.

By Living Room Realty, September 26, 2018

Alex finished up the sale of her condo in August. We had been looking at homes prior to her listing her condo, to narrow down what kind of home would be the right fit for her. After the sale of her condo, she had a much better idea of what kind of purchasing power she could expect to have on the new house.

Shortly after the sale, we toured a great ranch style home in a community just outside of Beaverton. The house has a wonderful courtyard style feel, with the U shape of the house centered around that feature. It’s full of flowers, and a really aspect of the home to see all the time. Her mom joined us for the tour and they both really fell for the home in general. We submitted a below asking offer, and after a couple of counters, we found that sweet spot where everyone was happy. The inspections came back mostly very clean–it’s a solid home. The crawlspace underneath was supported by very large old growth beams that will probably last centuries more.

Alex had a trip planned prior to all of this, and we worked the schedule of the timelines around that. We finished up negotiations, and made sure the loan was all dialed in so she could leave and not have to worry about the transaction. I sent her the occasional email to remind her that things were on track and to not worry about anything back home. The deal went off without a hitch, and she came back a week before closing, signed, and she just closed today.

Working with Alex from start to finish was about 4 months, and through it all we maintained great communication, clear expectations, and navigated through a sale and a purchase. She was a pleasure to work with, and I’m truly so happy that she was able to achieve all her goals– that’s what makes my job so fulfilling.
