1st Time Buyer At Long Last

Hazelwood Home for 1st Timer

WAY BACK WHEN

I first met Emily when her parents were referred to me to help them find their first Portland house many moons ago. She was a very young woman back then and frequently joined our house hunting expeditions, proving herself to be a wise adviser. About ten years ago Emily started dreaming of buying her own home one day. In fact, she says she has looked at homes online nearly every day over the past decade.

HOME SWEET HOME

Fast forward to September 2018 and I am proud and excited to report that I have recently handed her the keys to a fab mid-century ranch with a basement; her very own first home that she and her husband Paul will share. This Hazelwood classic sits on a dead end street tucked in to quiet enclave that is a quick trip to the center of the city, but outside the congested zone of inner Portland. The large yard is replete with the fragrance of wild mint. The original hardwood floors and wood-burning fireplace make this a cozy spot to call home!
