Stunning Luxury View Home in Washougal is Under Contract
My latest group of buyers wanted to find the perfect family retreat. A home large enough to house two couples - including the wife's mom and dad. Plus, with college age children, they hoped to locate a spot with amenities to make it a destination vacation for all who want to visit - including grandchildren and other family members.
Acreage, a view, lots of square footage, and a feeling of peaceful serenity topped their list of wants and needs. Plus, the husband will need to make trips to Portland periodically for business purposes, as well as, travel out of town on a regular basis. The tour included homes that felt remote, but in reality are within 10 minutes of services, and about 20 - 25 minutes to Portland International Airport.
After several days of touring homes, this one remained their favorite. A return trip sealed the deal. The sellers were smart too. A Gurgle Pot filled with ice cold well-water sat on the butler pantry encouraging all to take a drink. We did, and agreed it was magnificent. The home is in pristine condition and music played throughout the 6100 square foot home with 5 bedrooms ( including two main-floor masters), 6 bathrooms, a media room, library, and even a Finlandia sauna. Sweeping views from most rooms include the Columbia River and Mt. Hood.
Multiple Offer Situations Require Strategy and a Good Reputation
"Get us this house, Debb," they all encouraged. Talk about pressure. The home was being seriously considered by another couple too. We wrote up a clean offer with the only contingencies being a well, septic, and home inspection. I also included a cover letter explaining the goals of these wonderful folks, and their heart/soul connection to the property. Even though this was a full price cash offer for the $995,000 home, there were two other offers and one had an escalation clause.
The agent told me she appreciated our clean offer and the presentation. Plus, she knows my ethics and style match her own. We don't like to play games. We respected this fabulous property with a fabulous offer. It paid off, we won in this multiple offer situation. Needless to say, my clients are absolutely thrilled.
They've returned home to get packed. I'll be handling the inspection and scheduling grounds maintenance, and security checks on the home post closing - until they return. We can sign any needed documents through DocuSign and schedule courtesy closings at a title office where they now live - in two separate towns.
