What an amazing run of weather we’ve had here in Portland since the beginning of April. Sunshine and warm, calm weather has made it feel more than June than April, and the buying season has felt similarly ahead of schedule. It’s been a busy, busy time of year and everyone is working serious overtime. And not just brokers: all of our clients, lenders, transaction coordinators, assistants, escrow officers, inspectors, contractors, and our cars. Buyers, especially, are under the most pressure right now: they’ve needed to have their pencils sharpened, their strategies honed, and their nerves braced while they double-down on new listings scrolling and going up against stiff competition week after week. And it’s during these times of stress where character really shines

Empathy. And some damn good celebrating once it all comes together! Here’s to all the hard-working buyers out there…your key day is coming!
