Cynthia and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Year

By Erika George & Kari McGee, August 30, 2018

In an unfair cosmic turn of events, Cynthia has had to hurdle almost all of life’s top stressors (divorce, death, litigation, etc) over the last year.  It has been, as “Alexander” would say, a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year.  Her final hurdle was to  sell the home she owned with her former spouse and purchase a new one.   Our goal was to find her a fresh start home without her having to move twice, meaning that the timing was going to have to be precise!  As soon as her listed house was under contract, this light-filled, updated Roseway Heights bungalow appeared:

And then karma (the good kind!) finally kicked in!  The seller was also newly single and looking for a fresh start.  The two women (through their realtors) worked as collaboratively as possible to put together a contingent sale.  They were fair and respectful during the inspection period.  Cynthia was able to close on her new home within three days of closing on her former house and she is already enjoying her new NE Portland life!  We hope moving into this beautiful home marks the beginning of Cynthia’s Wonderful, Pleasant, No Bad, Very Good year!!!

Are you in need of a fresh start?  Are you ready to LOVE where you live??  Call Kari and Erika — we can help you make the transition from Very Bad to Very Good.  Even if your name isn’t Alexander (or Cynthia) . . . .
