After selling their home in the beautiful Colorado Rockies, Tom and Sherry were ready to make the big move to be closer to their son, daughter and new grand-baby. With time ticking on their Air Bnb they were eager to hit the ground running. Despite the competitive nature of our market Tom and Sherry were able to snag an amazing Fully renovated vintage charmer. The best part is this dream of a property is only 5 minutes from their kids new bungalow in Foster-Powell.
The key to their success was a solid action pan. We were able to get them approved with my amazing preferred lender. Who come offer time was acting as another cheerleader for the client further solidifying the trust of the Listing agent.
We had a thorough understanding of what we were presenting. Understanding the competition and presenting an offer that didn’t just “Throw money” at the property, but truly addressed possible Seller concerns.
I’m so excited for this family to continue to flourish and thrilled for these lovely additions to this amazing city. Welcome Home!

She/They
Ten years ago, Melissa was living in a slum in Kolkata, India, helping over 200 women escape sex trafficking by providing alternative work at a social business.
It was there she discovered her passion for financial education as a means of empowering people to move out of poverty. After graduating from UCLA with a Masters, Melissa spent 5 years working as a Social Worker; assisting clients facing homelessness, in jail, or at a psychiatric facility.
As much as she loved the work, imagining saving for retirement on the meager salary of a social worker was becoming grim. That's when Melissa discovered "passive income." In no time, she fell in LOVE with real estate as a vehicle for wealth. Soon after, Melissa began locating off-market multi-family properties to purchase through creative financing strategies and win-win opportunities. Two years into investing, Melissa quit her day job as a Social Worker to become a full-time broker and investor. Initially, she was drawn to people in difficult circumstances, so she developed extensive experience assisting families facing foreclosure, short sales, and probate. Melissa is well versed in helping her clients overcome complex real estate challenges.
Currently, Melissa is teamed up with Super Broker, Yascha Noonberg at Living Room Realty. Together they assist clients to achieve their real estate dreams, including how to strategically buy and sell a personal residence to maximize profits. Far from the slums of Kolkata, her greatest passion now is empowering other working professionals to develop passive forms of income through buying multi-family properties in Portland.
