We first met our buyers when their landlord in Buckley, WA reached out for help selling the home they were renting. The owner hoped to sell it directly to them, but despite everyone’s efforts, the numbers just didn’t work out.

That’s when PNW Realty stepped in.

We connected the buyers with a trusted local lender, reviewed their finances, and walked through down payment assistance programs available in Washington—specifically those designed for buyers who haven’t owned a home in the past three years. While they technically weren’t first-time home buyers, it had been nearly 20 years since they last owned a home—qualifying them for these helpful programs.

After reviewing loan options, local market data, and price trends, we helped them find the perfect home in Bonney Lake, WA—right within budget and close to their ideal location.

There was just one hurdle: the seller said no.

But we knew this was the one. So we negotiated—patiently and persistently—for three weeks until we finally got the call: Offer accepted!

Thanks to first-time home buyer assistance, they purchased the home for a third of what they would have paid for first, last, and a deposit on another rental.

✨ Now, they’re no longer renters.

They’re homeowners, with the freedom to stay, grow roots, and make their own decisions—no landlord needed.
