When newlyweds Sara and Colin started their search for a home, they were bright-eyed and optimistic. They knew they wanted to stay close to their families, and figured their $250,000 budget would get them a cute little starter home in Oregon City. After three years of rejected offers and being outbid by cash buyers, Sara and Colin had given up all hope of ever owning their own home.
When baby Layla arrived on the scene seven months ago, the pressure of moving out of their tiny rented space intensified. When I called them for a casual catch up, Sara leapt at the chance to meet up and discuss how I could get them into a home, quickly. I told them the key factor – be ready and willing to strike when the right house comes along. In a market as hot as ours, the difference between winning and losing a house could be a matter of hours.
A week later, a listing came across my desk that I knew Sara and Colin had to see. They toured it late that night, fell in love, and wrote a full price offer immediately. In less than twenty-four hours, Sara and Colin were under contract on their dream home!
Now this adorable couple has plenty of space to raise their sweet baby girl, and grow their family. All it took was the right motivation, a little determination, and a whole lot of patience!
