I was introduced to Doug by way of referral from the amazing Sharon Bloudek, agent extraordinaire! He was looking for a condo within a very specific area of Beaverton and she was hoping I would be able to help him find that.

I am so glad she made the introduction, because Doug is the kind of client that everyone wishes for. He was looking to relocate from California to Oregon, to be closer to his family and grandkids, after the recent loss of his wife. To add to the weight of wanting to help him out, his late wife was a Realtor in California and had been a strong presence in all their previous sales and purchases. This added more gravity to make sure that I did my utmost best to represent him and help him out in his search.

Sometimes, we as brokers, want to make sure we prove our worth in a transaction. We explain strategies for helping get in contract, give our opinion when conducting the inspection on what is a reasonable ask for a repair request, or what might be of potential importance to a Buyer when reviewing condo docs. But in this case, Doug gave me a lesson that sometimes we may get in the way of a smooth transaction. Doug was level headed in his search, and when we did find the right condo for him, he was even keeled about what he wanted to write when it came to the offer to insure he got it. Doug was using Cash to purchase this home, so when we were able to find a home that had been on the market for longer than what the average days on market was showing he had the opportunity to attempt to negotiate on price or terms. Even with this ability to potentially flex some buying power, Doug opted to make sure he wrote an offer that was appealing to the Seller and that no one would come in and take it from him at the last minute. His clear, concise thinking made sure that we were able to get an accepted contract. This approach helped during the inspection period as well, as he was very realistic about what was a major concern to him and what something was that he could take care down the line. This helped us write a reasonable repair addendum of things he would prefer not to take on himself, and that was mostly accepted by the Seller. His forward thinking helped us through a very smooth transaction and successful closing, that enabled him to be close to his children and grandchildren.

Handing him his keys was extra special, because I knew he would be an amazing addition to the Beaverton community, of which I am a part of. I truly hope this move has helped him find happiness and closeness with those he loves.

Congrats Doug, you were everything a Realtor could ask for in a client and I truly appreciate you giving me some life lessons in the process.

Cheers!
