Blog Buyer Rose in Full Bloom

Rose in Full Bloom

By Living Room Realty, August 21, 2021

Hi, Readers!

Recently, I made a new friend named Rose. I helped her and her now-ex husband in the sale of their big, beautiful Craftsman in NW Portland, and got them set up for their next chapter. Rose and I immediately hit it off – making each other laugh and enjoying each other’s company immensely. When she sent me a text that she “wasn’t really looking” but was curious about a fixer in NE Portland, I immediately jumped in to learn more.

 

What we found was an extraordinary NE Foursquare that was by a park I didn’t even know was there. It’s

close to the Zipper on NE Sandy, by Providore, and on a lovely tree-lined street. The house itself had been a rental for more than 30 years. It still had so much soul, but it was buried un

der a strange hodge-podge configuration. Hardwoods, leaded glass, picture rails, broad bannisters, tall ceilings, ahhh. So good. We put together a compelling offer for her and snatched up the old gal. Now, Rose is at work bringing her beautiful home back to its full glory. Here’s what happens when you strip old bronze hardware in a crock pot…

I can’t wait to see what else she comes up with. Thanks so much Rose. You’re amazing!

Are you interested in finding a fixer upper? Gimme a call, I can help you spot the potential.

Till then, high fives!
