Time For A (Climate) Change

By Matt Guy, October 9, 2020

Brady and Tess are home buyers who are part of a growing trend in Portland.  People looking to escape whatever natural disaster California is currently offering up, but still looking to live in a thriving west coast city.

 

This group presents fun and unusual challenges, as the Buyers are sometimes unable to leave their current city to head to Oregon to house hunt.  Meaning, we are often having Buyers close on homes sight unseen.  And, we haven’t even met; well, in person anyway.  With all the amazing technology available in real estate now, Buyers are able to see 3-D tours of the homes they are interested in, plus photographs, and satellite images.  It’s almost as good as being there!

 

Tess and Brady patiently viewed lots of video footage of homes in Portland; and found several that they liked.  Unfortunately, as often happens in this market, they lost out on a few.  But, they were patient and determined, and finally found this NE Gem!

 

Congratulations you two!  Portland is ready to welcome you!

Professional Service:

Finding an agent you are comfortable with is similar to, and as important, as your connection with a good attorney, accountant or financial adviser. It is my goal to help you make the best, informed decision regarding your real estate needs. Whether it is with a Buyer or a Seller, I enjoy working to help people achieve their goals. Communication is a very important aspect throughout the home buying and selling process, and I hope you find that I treat my clients with respect and show them the hard work and ethical standards that I use in my everyday practice. I enjoy working through the complexities of the transaction and have the ability to solve problems when they arise, and thrive on my ability to handle the details of a real estate transaction with professionalism, integrity and care. Like selling or buying a home, first impressions are paramount to the success of obtaining a sale. I hope that you find my professional image shines through, and that my over 18 years of real estate experience, knowledge and energy will be helpful and refreshing, as have many of my clients who have rewarded me through their repeated use and referrals.

Love of Portland:

I work throughout the Portland Metro Area, and have lived on both the East and West sides of Portland. I am very excited to live in a city with so many beautiful homes and neighborhoods. I also love Oregon and am proud to be a life long Oregonian. I have moved back to neighborhood that my Father spent his childhood and am proud to share in the history where I live. I live 8 blocks from the church where my Aunt and Uncle were married in 1956. I also love the many activities and restaurants around Portland and the nearby outdoors that it has to offer. Whether shopping at New Seasons or a farmers market, enjoying the many great parks, Portland has a great progressive and environmental spirit that helps to make it such a wonderful place to live.

More to me than real estate:

I am a former competitive Ultimate Frisbee player, and over the past few years have competed in marathons, triathlons, and other running events like the Hood to Coast. I have raised over $3000 for the Windermere Foundation through pledges from my family, friends and clients while running two Eugene Marathons. Also in 2011, I ran the New York City Marathon. In my spare time I enjoy running, hiking, playing soccer, Ultimate, and basketball. Basically, I like being active.  I guess I need to, to keep up with my two amazing children, Elliott & Nao.
