This was a serendipitous closing — we found the perfect home in unexpected circumstances! My clients were ready to move out of downtown Portland and into a home that fits their family lifestyle. After bidding on a few homes and losing out, grandma’s neighbor informed us of their upcoming move to Arizona. They offered to sell my clients their home without putting it on the market which took out a lot of the anxiety of the current multiple offer situation in the market. We were able to negotiate a fair price and a few repairs while keeping everyone happy. The home has a spacious yard for my clients’ daughters to play in and resides in a quiet neighborhood… and it’s right next to grandma!
This quaint, ranch-style home was built in 1976, although it has been renovated, still has many traditional features. The kitchen and bathroom are newly renovated with maple cabinets, granite countertops, and warm-toned Brazilian cherry wood flooring. Coming from an older home without a yard this family is looking forward to BBQs on the patio and biking in the cul-de-sac.
The Rock Creek neighborhood is a perfect fit for this family, surrounded by parks, recreational facilities, and local eateries. The home is around the corner from Bethany Lake Park — a destination for fishing, biking, and walking along the Rock Creek Trail. The girls can spend summers at the Rock Creek Rec, playing softball, soccer, and playing on the playground. With a high walking score, the family can walk to lunch at the Bethany Public House for local comfort food.
Closing this home was such a joy! As you all know, family is so important to me. It was heartwarming to find a home next to grandma, in a lovely area. Congratulations to my awesome clients!
