Passing It Along

It is always an honor to have a past client refer a friend in need of a home.

Over several years, Shelli and I had worked together to help her buy and sell a few homes. A fantastically creative woman, full of energy, she had a knack for finding interesting spaces and making them truly her own.

When Shelli passed my name along to her friends Justine, and Steven, and their son Rane, I had high hopes that they would be just as fun to work with, and it is with much gratitude that I can say, they were!

Rane had graduated from Reed college here in Portland and had loved his time there. After graduation he returned to California, for what he believed would be a short time….enter COVID19, which has a way of changing everyone’s plans .

Rane posted up at his parents’ home, and turned this pause into an amazing and lovely project–he built a tiny home. Learning as he went, it was a big undertaking, but it certainly turned out to be a home to be proud of.

That’s when Steve, Justine, and Rane hatched their new plan….sell their investment property in Washington and buy a home in Portland that they could rent out, that also had enough land for Rane to park the tiny home.

After spending time away from Portland, Rane missed his community and all the delicious and beautiful things Portland has to offer. He wanted to return, and this plan would make that possible.

Because they were looking for a property with a larger lot, their home search took them to parts of the city that Rane had not previously explored. It was a treat to show them these new areas, and watch as they discovered new things to be excited about!

They found a lovely home in NE Portland, with great rental potential and plenty of room for Rane’s tiny home. I love it when a plan comes together!

Congratulations Justine, Steve, and Rane! Welcome back!
