Give the Man his Pool!

By Yonette Fine, June 29, 2018

When your buyer comes to you after surviving brain surgery, and asks for a home with greenery and a pool, you give the Man his Pool!

Actually, this tale begins in the Fall of 2016 , when my sellers (at that time) were approached by a couple eager to purchase their Sabin home. We danced the dance, and these eager buyers backed out 2 weeks prior to closing.

It “unwound” two transactions, breaking many hearts. During the “recovery” phase, we all licked our wounds, went on with our lives, grew our respective businesses, and one of us was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

After John’s successful surgery to “86 Oscar” (yes, they named the tumor!), and a solid few weeks of recovery (this is a man of action), they were ready to pick-up where we left off in 2016. John said, “I realize now, that I want green around me, and, Yo, I want a pool.”

My reply, as always with John, was “give the Man a Pool!”. 2018 was good to us. We were able to bring them closer to family, greenery and a pool.

I am grateful to John & Renee for trusting me to guide them to a wonderful outcome and home. Their neighbors are lucky to have THE coolest, most loving, dynamic duo in Portland!

 

Congratulations My Dear John & Renee!
