How cute are these two on their brand new front porch?!
Sherwin and Jessica sauntered into an open house I was hosting in February. They were looking to move out of their west side apartment and into one of the east side’s more walkable neighborhoods.
We began working together, which was fun because 1) they’re cool and 2) they like beautiful houses 😉 Don’t get me wrong, I love nothing more than helping buyers purchase “plain jane” homes with massive upside potential. But there’s just nothing like a dolled up classic prewar Portland home, is there?
Another great aspect of working with Jess and Sherwin – they knew what they wanted. Not as much in a 3 bed, 2 bath, 2000 sq ft kinda way – more that they just knew when a home had *it,* and when it didn’t. They were strategic about the homes they saw, and knew what they were and weren’t willing to compete for.
So, when we stumbled along a gorgeous foursquare just blocks off Division with incredible bones, Jess and Sherwin saw what a fresh paint job and a few new light fixtures could do for this property, and we pounced.
One offer, one acceptance, a fairly chill inspection, reasonable sellers, great co-op agents, and a high appraisal (!!) later, and it’s champagne on the front porch time!
These two were a joy to work with! Cheers Jessica + Sherwin, can’t wait to see which white you pick for the walls!
