REPATRIATION

I will often get calls and emails from buyers that do not live in the area. Either they used to live in Portland or they have always wanted to live here. Over the years I have found that you can only take it so far at distance. At some point you’ve got to come to town, tour some homes and get a feel for the place. It is possible to do remote showings after some initial work, but until then…it is all talk.

I had an email exchange with my clients Jenn & Scott at some point in early 2020. Then a few more exchanges later in the year followed by a Zoom call in spring of 2021. They were living over-seas and anticipating a return to the United States at some undetermined point.

Then I get the call: we have to repatriate in a few weeks! (it took me a minute to decipher that word; I had never heard it used in a sentence before. HA!). Game on. They got back Stateside and we got down to business touring all the good properties in their desired school districts. It took a few tries, but we got an offer accepted on a rad house in an awesome location. Welcome back home!!

Principal Broker | OR

I arrived in the real estate business over a decade ago and have since helped scores of people buy and sell their homes. The groundswell that I created in my practice is rooted in the relationships that I have nurtured over the years. My style is educational, and I see myself as the coach and leader of your real estate transaction. My coaching is geared towards empowering you to make informed decisions that will lead to your best possible outcome. I excel at asking the questions that get to the heart of the matter which in turn enables a smooth sale process. Away from the office I am passionate about so many things, but it all begins and ends with my family. My boys are both in elementary school and parenting is an ongoing challenge and joy for my wife and I. We love to travel around Oregon, the East Coast, Mexico and beyond. My passion for surfing, kiteboarding, and fishing help to keep me grounded in life. Read more reviews
