🔥 SOLD! BIG WIN FOR MY BUYER! 🔥
📍3102 Norris Rd | Vancouver, WA
This one is officially CLOSED, and honestly, it deserves a special place in my real estate war stories.
The seller was HUD, and I think just about everything that could go sideways did. Delays, confusion, extra hoops, last-minute surprises—you name it. At several points, this transaction felt less like buying a house and more like competing in an endurance event.
But here's why having an experienced agent matters.
Despite all the challenges, Katie walked away with an incredible outcome:
✅ $9,300 seller-paid closing cost concession (3%)
✅ $9,300 from Columbia Bank
✅ Reduced interest rate
✅ Approximately $60,000 in instant equity
That's a total financial advantage of approximately $78,600 on a $310,000 purchase.
Let that sink in.
💥 Katie is starting homeownership about 25% ahead of the purchase price on Day One.
Most people focus only on the purchase price. The real magic often happens in the financing, negotiations, credits, concessions, and knowing how to uncover opportunities others miss.
I couldn't be happier for Katie. She stayed patient through one of the strangest transactions I've handled in a while, and the payoff was huge.
Congratulations, Katie! 🏡🔑🎉
