Nine Offers! Guess Who Got The House

By Melissa Dorman, August 20, 2021

Savvy Realtor = Happy Buyers

How do you come out on top when there are nine offers?
For this great house on SW Lancaster, Melissa Dorman of the Yascha Group put together an offer that wasn’t the highest, but was all cash with a smooth quick close and beat out the rest.
Daniel and Kyle are a lovely couple who hope to own the home for many years to come and were able to buy with the help of their parents through a 1031 exchange and an inheritance…and it helped that Melissa established great rapport with the listing agent.
There were a lot of moving parts but Melissa made it a seamless and easy process the whole way through.

She/They

Ten years ago, Melissa was living in a slum in Kolkata, India, helping over 200 women escape sex trafficking by providing alternative work at a social business. It was there she discovered her passion for financial education as a means of empowering people to move out of poverty. After graduating from UCLA with a Masters, Melissa spent 5 years working as a Social Worker; assisting clients facing homelessness, in jail, or at a psychiatric facility. As much as she loved the work, imagining saving for retirement on the meager salary of a social worker was becoming grim. That's when Melissa discovered "passive income." In no time, she fell in LOVE with real estate as a vehicle for wealth. Soon after, Melissa began locating off-market multi-family properties to purchase through creative financing strategies and win-win opportunities. Two years into investing, Melissa quit her day job as a Social Worker to become a full-time broker and investor. Initially, she was drawn to people in difficult circumstances, so she developed extensive experience assisting families facing foreclosure, short sales, and probate. Melissa is well versed in helping her clients overcome complex real estate challenges. Currently, Melissa is teamed up with Super Broker, Yascha Noonberg at Living Room Realty. Together they assist clients to achieve their real estate dreams, including how to strategically buy and sell a personal residence to maximize profits. Far from the slums of Kolkata, her greatest passion now is empowering other working professionals to develop passive forms of income through buying multi-family properties in Portland.
