Worth the Wait

By Mel Dorman, November 17, 2022

Local owners of Coffee Time and Cascadia Coffee Pub, Susan and Jason, met Melissa Dorman of Living Room Realty at a Christmas party in 2016. They became quick friends. After watching Melissa build her own rental portfolio, Jason and Susan were inspired. When prices started to come down, they decided the time was right to start looking. They didn’t hesitate when this beautiful remodeled home with a permitted ADU had a $64,000 price drop to draw attention. In this buyer friendly market, Melissa negotiated an $11,443 credit, covering all their closing costs. Now the main house is rented and paying most of the mortgage, while Jason a Susan enjoy the spacious two bedroom ADU for themselves.

Congratulations Susan and Jason!

 

Grateful to guide this wonderful family on their journey!
