Blog First Time Homebuyer "Blue Steel" in SW Portland!

“Blue Steel” in SW Portland!

By Erika George & Kari McGee, July 5, 2021

Congratulations to Michelle and Thomas who just closed on their first home!  They called us more than a year ago to help them find their starter home.   As it turns out, they weren’t quite ready, financially, to take the plunge.  We were able to put them in contact with a great lender, who helped them develop a “one year plan” in order to save up for closing costs and a down payment.  They were diligent and stuck to their plan.

 

One year later, they contacted us and let us know they were ready to buy.  We were able to narrow down on the homes and neighborhoods that made the most sense for them and were able to pounce when we spotted this create SW Portland condominium.   Great location and Great layout and it came with it’s own AWSOME fire place art, which we quickly dubbed “Blue Steel!”

 

Your path to ownership may not be instantaneous.  It make take some preparation and diligence.  If you are thinking about buying a home, we highly recommend that you reach out to us early so we can connect you with the right people and start giving you an idea of what to expect.  We promise it will be worth the wait!
