STEPS FOR BUYERS

MEET YOUR AGENT

Agents are part matchmaker and part business person. We really listen to you and support your choices. We care about finding your perfect place and offer expert representation.

CHOOSE YOUR DIGS

We'll customize your home search to your specific needs and requirements, lifestyle particulars and tastes. Whatever you are seeking, we select just the options that are right for you.

MAKE AN OFFER

When you've found THE ONE, we'll sit with you and write up an Oregon or Washington Sale Agreement, aka "The Offer". We present your offer to the Seller via the Sellers Agent. If the Seller wants to alter the offer, we negotiate on your behalf to come to a mutually agreeable offer.

INSPECTION

The clock starts on the Inspection period the first business day after Buyer and Seller both accept the contract terms.

In addition to the General Inspection, there are several different types of inspection that will reveal the condition of the home and weather or not there needs to be repairs.

NEGOTIATE

If the Inspections reveal conditions that the Buyer wishes the Seller to address, we'll prepare an Inspection Addendum listing the repairs or financial credits a Buyer would like taken care of before moving forward.

APPRAISAL

After the repairs have been negotiated, a lender will send an Appraiser to the property to determine its value.

SIGN + CLOSE

A couple of days prior to closing the deal, we meet you at a local Title Company where you'll sign the deed and loan documents.

“Rhonda has been the biggest blessing…”

Rhonda has been the biggest blessing. My husband and I were first time home-buyers in Portland, OR, and she answered all of our incessant questions with patience and enthusiasm at all hours of the day. She is spunky, humorous, and so easy to be around. She was eager to help us at the drop of the hat throughout this journey. Her expertise put us at ease, and it was easy to trust her to take care of us and advocate for us. We got an amazing house and with her help, everything went smoothly. I can't recommend her enough! She really is the best of the best, and anyone would be honored to have Rhonda as their agent! :)

Rhonda Spencer is nothing short of amazing!

"We worked with Rhonda to buy our first home and she was so awesome throughout the entire process. To say she was on top of everything would be an understatement. She was helpful, knowledgeable, organized, and always available. Most importantly, she worked tirelessly to make sure we were getting what we wanted and what was best for us. If you want an agent that will truly go the extra mile for you and make your experience the best it can be, I highly recommend Rhonda Spencer."

“Her guidance for making a strong offer in a tough market was stellar.”

"Rhonda is fantastic- not only is she responsive to my multiple texts/emails about properties, but she is extremely knowledgeable about Portland, properties, various home characteristics (foundation material, electric, etc etc). Her knowledge helped guide me to a quality home. Additionally, her guidance for making a strong offer in a tough market was stellar. If you’re looking to buy a home, you need Rhonda! As a bonus, she’s a charming, sweet and lovable person who is always cheerful and smiling. Who doesn’t want that when under the stress of buying a new home?!"
