Some closings are better than others. This one, is one of the good ones. A little over a year since I helped him sell his condo downtown, I got to help my good friend Matt and his partner Libby, on their purchase of this wonderful North Portland Stunner.
If you haven’t gotten the memo, it’s been crazy out there in the Real Estate Market. Matt and Libby started their search in the midst of this Pandemic and right at a time that the limited inventory and pent up Buyer demand came to a head and everyone on the West Coast started to shop for a home in Portland. They made offers on 3 homes prior to this, all multiple offer situations, all ones they lost out on, with the last one coming close and they were offered back-up position. While waiting for that one to sort itself out, they saw this one hit the market and it spoke to them. Stunning updates, amazing back yard, fairly quiet pocket in an area that most people would not have considered. The made the drive down from Seattle to check it out on a long weekend of looking at properties and this was the best of the bunch. Tasteful updating, and a backyard that you felt like you were in your own garden oasis. Another positive, I happened to know the listing broker on this one, one Gabrielle Enfield of Living Room Realty, my colleague who happened to start at LRR at the same time as I did. To date, we had not had an opportunity to do business together, but here was our chance. I can confirm what I already knew, Gab is an extremely hard working professional and a master at her craft. She knows the North Portland market well and I was pleased to have her as my counterpart on this transaction.
Due to the nature of what needs to be offered in the current market, my clients will take possession in early September, so this post will be updated at that time when I can give you their happy faces in front of the home. Until then, enjoy the stunning photos of this lovely property and Congrats to Matt and Libby! I can’t wait to hand you keys!
