Just Sold/Just Bought: Contingent Purchases can happen in this market!

By Living Room Realty, May 28, 2021

Congratulations to my client’s, Whitney and Peter, on the sale and subsequent purchase of their homes! This one is special, as my client’s happen to be family members and we were unsure if this would come together cleanly. We found their new home, which was marketed as a For Sale by Owner, and beat out another offer. We were not sure if a contingent offer would be entertained by the Seller’s in a competitive market and against another offer, but we put our both terms forward and were able to get them in contract. Step 1 down!

We had 10 Business days to prep and list their current home, and they were champs in prepping it for photography and to list. Their home was special, and many family get together’s were had over the years at their almost 3/4 of an acre property overlooking Claggett Creek in Keizer. The incredibly talented photographers with Ruum Media worked their magic and highlighted the property incredibly with their lenses. Step 2 down! Once we hit the market, we allowed for 6 days of market time to get Buyer’s through the property, host an Open House, and review offers. 11 Offers came in Total for my Buyer’s to review. We decided to choose that one that gave us the most assurances on closing the deal, as Whitney and Peter wanted to make sure they were able to complete the sale of their purchase.

We accepted the chosen offer, and away we went through the pending process. We hit a few bumps along the road, but that happens in any transaction. The easy communication with my client’s made it easy to figure out different scenarios (in this one, a low appraisal) and how to keep our deal together. We worked with Jackie Willems with AmeriTitle (Salem) on both transactions, and this made it incredibly easy to navigate when it came to closing. We were able to record on their sale and fund on their purchase on the same day, thanks to the smooth Lender interactions with Joshua Hauser at OnPoint Community Credit Union (Happy Valley),and my client’s now have a comfortable free possession after closing to pack and make their move.

Cheers Whit and Pete! Can’t wait to for you to make new memories in your new home!
