Offer Review
In the critical stage of offer review, our expertise and strategic approach come to the forefront. We meticulously review each offer, not just focusing on the price, but considering all terms to identify the best overall offer that aligns with your goals. Our commitment is to negotiate tenaciously and transparently on your behalf, ensuring that every aspect, from contingencies to closing dates, is optimized for your benefit.
Contract Negotiations
After securing a buyer, navigating the post-contract phase, especially concerning repairs and the appraisal, is where our diligent advocacy plays a vital role. Once an appraisal is conducted, we work to ensure it reflects the true value of your home, addressing any discrepancies or challenges that arise. If repair requests are made by the buyer, we negotiate effectively, focusing on finding fair solutions that respect your interests and investment. Our goal in this phase is to maintain a balance between the buyer’s requests and your priorities, ensuring a smooth progression to closing without compromising your sale’s profitability.
After Closing
Beyond the closing of your sale, our relationship with you takes on a more celebratory spirit. We love staying connected not just through regular updates, but by bringing our community together for enjoyable events. Think annual holiday parties, lively concerts in the park, and light-hearted trivia nights – these are just a few ways we like to add fun to our ongoing relationship. These gatherings are our way of saying thank you and staying in touch, providing an opportunity for everyone to relax, connect, and enjoy the vibrant spirit of Portland. Our commitment is to be your lifetime real estate resource, and these joyful events are a testament to the lasting and meaningful connections we cherish with each of our clients.
