We often tell the heart warming stories of our “beat-up” buyers who, with grit, fortitude and time, finally close on a wonderful new home that was just meant to be. This time, we’re going to talk about the opposite (except for the ‘meant to be’ part)! You’d be surprised by how often this actually happens…
Our out of state clients, Don and Nancy, just closed on a fabulous unit at the Strand Condominiums on SW River Dr. It took a mere 38 days to complete the cycle from their first (and only) viewing of the unit, to picking up those keys! And that was with a few pesky holidays sprinkled in.
We pride ourselves on superior service for our out-of-area “armchair” buyers. With tools like our detailed property videos, computer screen sharing meetings, conference calls, and FaceTime meetings with inspectors, you can do some serious buyer due diligence from the comfort of your current location whether it be Texas or Tajikistan. All you need are our boots on the Portland ground!
Looking for your perfect Portland Pad but need to do it from the comfort of your out-of-area armchair? We’ve got some damn fine boots (and the ground)!

What this means for you is that there's not a lot we haven't seen. We will be proactive, where others will miss important opportunities. We like to negotiate and operate with a deep understanding of what it means to be your fiduciary: your strenuous advocate, not merely your transaction coordinator.

As designated Seniors Real Estate Specialists (SRES®), we specialize in helping Seniors and their families navigate aging in place, downsizing, multigenerational housing, senior community living options, and probate sales.
We strive to help people with a wide variety of needs, prepare for life’s transitions with compassion and expert guidance. We would be honored to help guide you through your changing real estate needs in the greater metropolitan Portland area.
Here are our Top Five Favorite Things to do for you:
1. Ask you questions (lots of questions!) and actually listen to your answers. 2. Show out-of-area Buyers all the fun neighborhoods and important spots that make the Portland Metro area special. 3. Crack you and ourselves up with funny photos and random moments of hilarity that pop up in a day of touring homes or after a long day of listing preparation chores! 4. Negotiate and advocate strenuously for you and your goals. 5. Celebrate the many (big and small) milestones in a real estate sale or purchase. 6. Watch your life grow and change after the sale closes, and be there for you when you need us. ps - oh how we adore your "look at what we did to this house" photos! And lunch. We also adore lunching with you. (Yes, we know, that's two in one and we're already at six...). 7. Make "Top-Five" lists that always have more than 5 top-fives. Just goes to show you how much we love to exceed your expectations! We would be honored to help guide you through your changing real estate needs in Portland Oregon.
