Amber and James came to me back in January stating they were thinking about buying a home. They wanted something ideally in St. John’s but were open to parts of SE, NE, and North Portland. As first time buyers we walked through the steps of finding a lender, getting finances in order, realizing the amount of paperwork and work needed to buy a home. February came around and we saw some homes and I can see the disappointment in their eyes and hear it in their voices that “we’re just not really finding anything we like” but we ventured into the North of Portland. Then Covid hit and since they are both healthcare workers they were needed on the front lines. They told me they had to take a break from looking. The stress was building and was taking its toll on them.
Then May came around. They called me out of the blue and said they were ready and this time “we want to go North”. Maybe it wasn’t that dramatic but we were focusing on N. Portland and found the home of their dreams. Newer construction, solar panels, many upgrades, a price well below budget, and the seller included a multitude of needed equipment to care for the home. Wins all around!
