A seamless sale and purchase strategy that gave this growing family peace of mind, profit, and a smooth transition—without the stress.
The Johnsons were expecting their second child and had officially outgrown their cozy Southeast Portland bungalow. They dreamed of a larger home nearby—but didn’t want to list before securing their next one. Like many sellers, they were overwhelmed by the idea of timing two major transactions, afraid they’d end up stuck in limbo or forced to move twice.
We approached their situation with a detailed, proactive plan. Instead of rushing to list, we began with a market prep strategy, identified potential new homes early, and leveraged our local network to act quickly on both sides. Our goal: maximize the sale of their current home while landing their next one—without ever making them feel like they had to choose between the two.
Within 48 hours of listing, the Johnsons’ home received six offers, ultimately selling for $32,000 over asking. On the buy side, they secured their dream home—despite competing against nine other offers—without being the highest bidder.
Thanks to strong communication and coordination with lenders and escrow, we closed both homes on the same day. Even better, we negotiated seller possession after closing, giving them time to move out comfortably.
This wasn’t just a transaction—it was a thoughtful transition, executed with precision and care.
