Forget the view — this home has a root cellar and solar panels!

By Erika George & Kari, December 22, 2021

CONGRATULATIONS to Thea and Angel who just closed on their first home together as a couple!

Thea and Angel are lovely souls with many interests and talents! Among them are 3D printing, beekeeping, historic car restoration and soap making! We were tasked to find them a house that was just right for their varied hobbies and skills. When we found this darling Tudor in Gresham, we all pinched ourselves, as it was truly “just right.” It has a great floor plan with an option for one-level living and ample space for entertaining and all of their varied hobbies. It has a modern open kitchen, a basement with a root cellar, a large garage for shop work, an orchard for bees, and raised beds with an irrigation system for gardening. AND, best of all, it boasts a wonderful back deck that Thea and Angel can use at the end of the day to relax and take stock of their handiwork.  Did we mention that there are solar panels on the home and garage which allows them to sell back to the grid during most months?  What a jewel!

Congratulations Thea and Angel — we are so happy for you and can’t wait to experience the products of your talents! Do you have some very specific needs when it comes to your next house?  We can help you find the perfect one — Call us!

Meet the HouseLovePDX Team at Living Room Realty, Portland's Favorite Real Estate Trio...

Realtor® Erika George brings to the table 20 years of experience as an attorney specializing in construction and contracts and has been a full-service real estate broker since 2013. Principal Broker Kari McGee is an 11-year Portland Monthly 5- Star Realtor® and has helped clients successfully navigate the evolving Portland real estate market for more than 21 years.  And Realtor® Amy Fawcett brings a fresh yet seasoned perspective: a keen design sensibility, real-world home rehab experience, and a decade in insurance that sharpens her ability to spot property risks before they become your problem... 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.
Our step-by-step system will be tailored to your specific goals. And we will provide you with expert resources to help you make informed decisions at each milestone stage of your transaction. 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. But we strive to help people with a wide variety of needs, prepare for life’s transitions with compassion and expert guidance.

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.
