Fresh Start in SE

By Mel Dorman, May 29, 2020

Arielle and Witter weren’t sure they knew what to expect when buying a home during a global crisis. With 2 dogs, a home to sell in New York and unpacked boxes, they wondered if now really was “the right time”.

However, with the prospect of their new chapter in Oregon how could they shy away? They set out, complete with masks, booties and endless gloves to find the perfect spot. Needless to say when the stunning mid-century popped up in SE they were quick to make a move. Thank goodness they did!

Being quick to the draw with a well planned strategy paid off and ultimately brought the couple to where we are today, Closing!

No big hugs and celebrating like in the days prior to Coronavirus, but with all thats happening there’s a different kind of excitement in the air. It’s the thrill of possibility, new beginnings, and establishing new normals.
