I am part of the powerhouse team of Erika George and Kari McGee. Kari and Erika have over 35 years combined experience selling homes in the Portland Metro area. They (and now “we”) bring vast knowledge and firepower when it comes to buying and selling homes in Portland. Prior to transitioning to real estate Erika worked as a lawyer specializing in contracts and construction. Kari has been licensed since 2005 and is now the Managing Principal Broker at Living Room Realty. Together they have closed over 355 sales. Their homes, on average, sell for 104% over list price with an average time on the market of 6 days. When representing buyers, their skillfully crafted offers have a near 100% success rate; more importantly those transactions end up as happy new homeowners. Like I said, firepower! I am excited to bring my talents to this team and in turn, to you!
Between my husband Jeff and I we have owned 3 homes and have undergone numerous renovations and DIY projects. As a result, I have experience in knowing what the “big ticket” home items are and what it means when they are needing to be repaired or replaced. I am familiar with the joys and perils of homeownership and I’ve also experienced the rewards, from building equity to creating a space that truly feels like home. I’ve called both NE and SW Portland home, and after 30 years in the PDX area, I’ve picked up a thing or two about the neighborhoods, quirks, and hidden gems. My expertise from my business, Home Sewn, lets me flex my design muscle with helping clients envision a home’s possibilities. I also bring a decade of experience in the insurance industry which gives me valuable expertise in identifying and mitigating property risks as well as how they come into play when negotiating a deal.
If you are looking to make a move in the market, I would be honored if you considered our team to assist you. If you know someone who is looking to buy or sell, please refer me for their consideration. Referrals are the heart of our business! In addition, we don’t want you to just think of our team when it comes time to buy or sell. We are your resource through your homeownership years! If you want to track your home’s value in this changing market, or want to know how that renovation will affect your home’s value, give us a shout! If your water heater died and you need a plumber yesterday (been there), call us. We have connections! Our relationship with you isn’t just transactional. We will be in your corner for anything home related, any time, because this is what we love to do!
