An associate of mine, Mel George -badass Realtor and all-around SUPER human being – called me one day and asked if I could help her awesome clients Mike and Molly buy a home in Stevenson, WA (as I am licensed in WA). It seemed too easy. Our clients had toured the home during an open house and wanted to submit a full-price offer. Said offer was quickly accepted.
Then the real work began.
There were some issues that arose during the general home inspection. Who knew it would be so hard to get contractor bids in Stevenson! Granted, it is an hour from Portland and it’s a GORGE-OUS drive (see what I did there?) but holy cow. The sellers, buyers, listing broker, and I all put our heads together (along with our admin staff Amy and Dianna) to get contractors out to the home for bids. It was truly a team effort.
Three weeks after our home inspection, we finally got all the information we needed to negotiate a price reduction and proceed with the transaction.
It ended up being more legwork than anticipated, but Mike and Molly are the bees knees and I was so happy to be a part of their transaction. Welcome to Washington, guys!
