A first-time buyer win in Columbia City

First-time buyers in a competitive market lose offers before they win one — that's the part nobody warns them about. These buyers had been outbid twice and were starting to wonder if it would ever happen.

Flora kept them steady, helped them write a clean, well-structured offer on the right house, and they won on the third try — without overpaying to do it. Patience and a good strategy beat a bigger number more often than people expect.
