Good Things Happening for Good People

By Olivia Rush, March 31, 2021

Hands down, the best part of my job are my CLIENTS.

I am a lucky, lucky realtor. I’ve had the opportunity to help many friends with their real estate transactions. These transactions are so special to me, because I can be my full self. And when I am fully at ease, it doesn’t feel like work.

Linda and Jason recently moved back to Portland after about eight years in LA. During that time, they both grew their careers and birthed two spirited daughters. The last time I had seen Linda and Jason was at their wedding in her parents’ backyard in Milwaukie in 2012. (Not gonna lie, the first time I saw them, meeting them at a house in SE Portland, I actually shed a nostalgic tear.)

Linda and Jason are the type of people you say, “They are literally the kindest people ever!” about. It’s not hyperbole. These two are some of the sweetest souls I’ve ever met. They’ve been racking up good karma since birth. So when they beat out 13 other offers on their first offer, it somehow made sense.

Made sense, but that didn’t make it any less sweet. That phone call was one of the highlights of my career. I can still hear the whoops of delight and shrieks of disbelief.

From that point forward, it felt like the rest of the transaction fell into place. We negotiated a credit for some minor repairs and cleared the appraisal with ease. Closing went off without a hitch and Linda and Jason get keys in a few weeks (a 20 day rent-back was one of the attractive terms of their offer).

In this brutal Sellers’ market, good things happening for good people is a cause for major celebration. I’m looking forward to joining them in the next round of hootin’ and hollering’ on key day! Huzzah!
