Sometimes the second times a charm!

By Martin Cross, May 18, 2021

Derek and Julie were referred to me on short notice with a somewhat, urgent need to find a home. They were already in contract to purchase a gorgeous home in Southwest Washington when newly revealed information led them to realize they could not live in what they thought was going to be their dream home and they would need to terminate the transaction. 

Needless to say, since their home was already under contract to be sold in a few weeks they felt a definite sense of urgency to find a similarly wonderful home quickly. After viewing numerous homes we found what they believed could be made into the perfect place and we set about crafting an offer. 

In a multiple offer situation, we were able to strategize contingencies and timelines that would entice the seller and beat out several other buyers to get into contract!  Fortunately, the inspection period went smoothly and we received a clean appraisal so they were able to close on time and are looking forward to moving into their new place!
