5% Down. Multiple Offers. They Still Won.

This is one of those stories we've been wanting to share.

Our clients were first-time buyers who came to us through a referral from a good friend and past client — still our favorite way to meet people.

They fell for a home, and so did everyone else. Multiple offers landed on the table almost immediately.

Going into a multiple-offer situation with 5% down, they knew they might not look like the obvious frontrunners on paper. We talked through how to make their offer competitive—the terms, the timing, and how it was presented to the sellers—and we were nervous right alongside them as we waited to hear back.

Then the sellers said yes.

They chose their offer with 5% down and agreed to cover their closing costs, which meant our clients wouldn’t be stretched thin the moment they received the keys.

The inspection turned up a few things, as it usually does. We went back to the table one more time and negotiated a lower price to help account for them—another meaningful win as they prepared to become homeowners.

By the time we got to closing, this was the goal they'd been chasing for a long time, finally real. Handing them their keys still felt a little surreal to them — you could see it on their faces. They were happy, excited, already talking about this next chapter.

Getting to be part of that is exactly why we love this job.
