Looking for their first home, these buyers were referred to us by their friend who was once a colleague of ours. After having their first child, they wanted to find a property to raise their son in with more room to run and play.
We started by walking them through the challenging market conditions for buyers and arming them with all of the tools at their disposal to compete in this multiple offer environment. We talked about the statistics so they knew what percentage of homes are selling at their list price, over their list price or at their list price as this information helps guide buyers which price points to shop within in order to be able to compete and win. With all the needed knowledge, we started the house hunt around the holidays, viewed houses from Lynnwood to Renton and everywhere in between until we found the wow factor of a beautiful custom mid-century home in Skyway. It was only the second offer they wrote, and they nailed it and beat out 70 other offers to snag this super special gem.
Congrats on your new home Lauren and Chris!
