How to Choose Your Buyer

Posted on by Living Room Realty

No doubt it is exciting to receive multiple offers on your home, but when it comes time to actually accept an offer it’s not uncommon for sellers to feel torn or unclear as to which is the best offer for them (it can be different for every seller).

Home offers are hard to interpret so I wanted to offer some helpful tips for when you find yourself in a multiple offer situation (perhaps a Part I?):

—Offer language tells a lot 📝

A purchase offer clearly indicates a buyer’s intentions (along with the more obvious details like if they are qualified, ready to purchase and have a lender in place). In a pool of offers, a realtor with the right skills will identify those that are authentic and well considered.

—The buyer’s agents’ communication style 🗣️

When you sit down with your agent always ask about their take on the agent representing the other party. Communication style, what they say or don’t say, can say a lot about how the transaction can go. Keep your eye out for the agent that will ask well-constructed questions, will make sure to put forth a well-written offer, and educate the buyer about the terms discussed.

—Buyer’s past experience in the market 🏡

Have they been looking for a week or 3 months? Have they had issues with their past offers? Paying attention to details like past contracts, finances, and people involved in the purchase decision gives you a more robust understanding the offer and will help set expectations moving forward.

Did you find these tips helpful? Let me know if I should make a Part II.

Also! I share a lot more insights as a part of my monthly newsletter. I keep these correspondences very intentional and insightful. If you want to join my list, call or email me.

Unsure of what to do in a shifting market?

Posted on by Living Room Realty

You’ve heard by now how fast interest rates are rising. From the thick of it, I can tell you that, yes, buyer traffic is slowing down because of it. If you’re a buyer, you may feel like the homes within your new budget are all of a sudden less “desirable”. But I must say, even though we still have extremely tight inventory, about a quarter of the homes I’m seeing on the market are going through a price reduction right now. Take heart! For the savvy buyer, there is still a lot to be gained.⁣
⁣
Remember that interest rates fluctuate, and what we experienced in the last two years was anything but normal. This sharp increase in rates may have you reeling, but overall this will contribute to more stability and predictability to the market we all could use.⁣
⁣
I empathize with you — no one likes a feeling of instability. If interest rates have you doubting your decisions, here are a few ways I can support you. I’m always open for a call, but if you’d like something a little more low-key, you can sign up for my newsletter where my lender partner and I keep you updated with everything you need to know about market movements in order to make an informed decision. Email me and I’ll add you to the list.

KEEPING THE ALBERTA ARTS ARTISTIC

Posted on by Living Room Realty

Keeping The Alberta Arts Artistic

Chaz wearing the most fabulous outfit accompanied by a fancy champagne bottle in front of his new house on Keys Day™️
Now this is how you show up to keys day!

I knew this home was special when I laid eyes on her; a stunning red Craftsman beauty whose walls have more stories to tell than I ever possibly could — eager and waiting to be lovingly restored. I am so glad this home landed into the illustrative and loving hands of the very talented tattoo artist, Chaz Vitale. If there is anyone with the proper eye and admiration of architectural design, it is Chaz. The amount of queer magic and love being poured into this home is absolutely immeasurable and I am beyond ecstatic to have had any part of it. We connected in more ways than one, coming from the same marginalized communities of being queer and trans people. I deeply believe this made our experience feel more bonded and emotional at that. Chaz, thank you for bringing your necessary artistic flair to the Alberta Arts District. You are needed here and I am so dang proud of you!

I can only aspire to continue to build connections with more BIPOC, queer, non-binary, trans, etc. clients in the future. Curating connections in our communities is vital to both my business and, well…my soul. My role in real estate is to advocate for all of my clients but especially those that come from similar backgrounds and share familiar life experiences. I am so grateful to have the trust of my clients in an industry that hasn’t always held our best interests; rest assured, I, Río Palomares will advocate to the best of my ability and ensure you get the representation you not only seek but deserve.

If At First You Don’t Succeed

Posted on by Natalie Tracy

Katie and Krista had a clear picture of what they wanted in their first home. A lovely home in a lovely location. With home offices, a home gym, and room for guests. But they weren’t sure exactly where they wanted to land or if they could actually get what they wanted in the competitive late spring/summer market. We strategized and processed and distilled down the ‘must haves’ versus the ‘nice to haves’. And then we saw A LOT of houses.

I love this part of the journey with my clients. The casting of a broad net, and then mindfully sorting through a day’s/week’s/months’s haul of listings. Learning what hits the mark and what doesn’t. The growing confidence that I could preview a home without them, and know whether or not it could be “the one”.

It’s so much about listening and watching. How do they react to a particular house? To a particular location. To a house that could use a kitchen overhaul and then some. To a house that’s had a kitchen overhaul and then some. Pulling in their fantastic local lender to fill in the numbers end of the picture. Because how folks react to a home is very much impacted by their particular home buying big picture. And no one can make good decisions without information. Without people in their corner guiding them along the way.

I love this part of the journey. What I love even more is finding “the one”. With Katie and Krista, that took a few swings and misses. They ended up in second place twice, on really lovely houses, in really lovely locations. Fast forward a few months. We found ourselves walking into the loveliest house in the loveliest location. It was their favorite location yet. And we all felt it the minute we walked in the door.

Krista took one step in and said “This is it, this is our house!” And Katie and I knew she was right.

And she was.

There was TOUGH competition for the house. And TOUGH navigating of party sewer lines and oil tanks and leaning chimneys. But when it’s “the one”, it has a way of working out.

And it did. They hung in there. They stayed focused on the end game. They had a great team in their corner. And we all worked together to make it a go.

And now they have the lovely home in the lovely location. With home offices, a home gym, and room for guests. The home that checks so many boxes and then some. I can’t wait to see them make it their own!

Bright, serene & classic Alberta bungalow

Posted on by Andy Meeks

*OPEN HOUSES: SATURDAY, Sep. 18th, 2-4p and SUNDAY, Sep. 19th, 2-4p*

 

This sun-filled and serene Alberta Arts bungalow is an absolute classic that sits high off the street, and has been lovingly cared for and updated in so many ways. This is arguably one of the best locations in NE Portland, less than 2 blocks to Alberta Street and just north of the Going Street Greenway. This street is also a quiet bikeway, with friendly and community-forward neighbors.

As you approach the front door, you pass through the custom cedar fence and gate, surrounded with mature landscaping, and walk down the striking Montana flagstone pathway. Step through the front doors into two generous front rooms — dining room, and living room with fireplace — and you will immediately notice the original oak and fir floors that have been newly-refinished and sparkle in the bright morning light from the large east facing windows. You’ll pass under graceful arched entryways as you move through the first floor, through the kitchen to the breakfast nook and side door, past the bathroom with the original clawfoot tub, past the two first-floor bedrooms, and out the french doors to the covered deck and private backyard.

Just beyond that is the oversized 480sf detached garage that’s waiting for all of the studio, makerspace, and storage dreams to come true.

The second floor owner’s suite — remodeled in 2017 with wool carpet, skylights and a gorgeous reimagined bathroom — has a walk-in shower, dual-sink marble vanity and heated tile floors. It’s an oasis. Finally, the basement — with its 6’11” ceiling, 12’x19′ unfinished room and exterior entrance — is just waiting for a future build-out.

This house is built sturdy and has been well-cared for throughout the current 15 year ownership. This is a perfect opportunity for someone to take the next steps with their vision and inspiration!

Envisioning Full Circle

Posted on by Jené DeSpain

Some things in this world seem very out of reach for many of us. Purchasing a home has historically been and currently resides a momentous feat for most. Helping first time buyers take that leap into home ownership is one of the most meaningful aspects of this career. Guiding their grasp on the reigns of the adventurous ride of first time home buying is always full of reward.

Today was particularly special in this experience. Today one of my clients became an American citizen and closed on their first home. In the same day.

In a year, in a world, in a transaction where little of this seemed obtainable, all the pieces came together. The truly biggest of Congratulations to this incredible family. It’s been a bounty of heartstrings pulling this one to the finish line. I am moved by the honor of being a part of this epoch day in your lives. Welcome Home.

THE ART OF 

KAITLYN CARR-KIPROTICH

THURSDAY, JANUARY 30th 6:00 – 8:00 PM • 1401 NE Alberta Street

KAITLYN CARR-KIPROTICH

 

Kaitlyn Carr-Kiprotich married Gideon. Gideon is African and Kaitlyn is Caucasian; their marriage informs her studio practice, primarily collage and textile work. “Navigating Race and Ethnicity” is an ongoing series of paper collages depicting their daily interactions. The slow process of paper cut-outs allows ample time for self-reflection on her experiences of being in an interracial relationship. Some of the memories mulled over are pleasant, while others leave her feeling uncomfortable. Perhaps this is also true for the viewer. Because paper is something that many people have been familiar with since childhood, the material and simple renderings provide an approachable aesthetic to a complex subject. The mundanity of one image generates widely different reactions from viewers. Her goal is creating art that contributes to the dialogue on race and identity, and encourages others—whatever their background—to consider their history and experiences.

Brooklyn ♥︎ Portland

Posted on by Jené DeSpain

It was raining hard that Saturday, but even under their Pacific Northwest appropriate rain gear, I could see, as the walked up the front steps, Dan and Allison had style. They stepped into the newly revamped mid century ranch I was hosting, careful to shake the drops from their slickers and shoes before crossing into the doorway, and audibly aahhhhed at the beauty of the Alameda home. I greeted them and in just a few minutes, we were connecting like old friends. They had moved to Portland after living some years in Brooklyn, their apartment not far from where I spent my last four years in Red Hook, prior to moving home to our City of Roses.

From their love of food to their eyewear accessories, I knew we were going to have kinship. They were just stopping by the open house, not necessarily home shopping, but curious about the market, content in their current Alberta neighborhood rental. Less than an hour and a half later, I received a call from Dan. They sincerely enjoyed meeting me and would I help them find a house in Portland? It was a match!

I had the delightful joy of helping them over the next few months, taking them to a spectrum of Portland homes, blended in their age and style. Allison wanted something with the charm of Old Portland. Dan needed something very well constructed to ease his nerves about the possible approaching earthquake. We found just what we were hoping for in Beaumont Wilshire, keeping them close in to the amenities of Alberta street which they so love. They’re just the type of people those of us who grew up here, hope for in the folks that move to our beloved city from out of state. They are endlessly kind, attentive to detail, retain a sincere desire to give back and participate in every way possible, care about their impact, and truly adore the chance to involve themselves in their surroundings. Brooklyn is home to many, many magnificent people. I dare to say, I’m delighted Portland has been able to snag these two and give them roots here through the discovery of home ownership and beyond.

Thank you so very much Dan and Allison! May Portland bring you all the discoveries this city has to offer for years to come!

Kim Hamblin Last Thursday Artist Reception

Posted on by Aryne + Dulcinea

PLEASE JOIN US THURSDAY

October 31st 6:00 – 8:00 PM

Kim Hamblin’s Installation opens as part of Last Thursday
October 31st from 6-8pm at Living Room Realty’s NE Alberta Office.

 

A beautifully unique blend of paper cutting, painting, and mixed media, Kim Hamblin’s art is termed cut paper assemblage. The therapeutic process consists of cutting the paper to the desired shape, then painting, layering, glueing, pressing, and finally founding them to plywood with tiny nails, repeating the process for each piece of paper. Once the piece is assembled, a clear coat goes on top, followed by a frame. Kim’s art is influenced by her collection of old books, nature, and life, with images relating to the sciences of anatomy, botany, entomology, and zoology.

It Could Have Been a Hard Deal – But it Wasn’t

Posted on by Living Room Realty
You don’t have to be an asshole in real estate to meet your clients needs and close a hard sale.  I like to think outside the box.  It helps to understand the agent on the other end of the transaction, To really listen to them when they express their clients needs in a transaction.  When I am representing buyers I always try and put myself in the sellers shoes even though I’m not representing them.  Building trust, getting a shit-ton of bids and being a good communicator is what every good buyers agent should be doing.  Kindness and wisdom can keep a deal together. You don’t have to bring an inflated ego to real estate deals.  Work together and your outcome can be a happy seller, happy buyers, and happy agents.  Buying a house doesn’t have to be hard.
Tracy!  —–It was a pleasure working with you…again, and we appreciate the efforts of a pro like yourself. I believe (buyers with) another agent could not have kept them from running for the hills on this property. Your cool head and problem solving approach is refreshing, thank you. Good luck to your clients”

THE MARKET

Portland’s Concordia neighborhood, situated north of Alameda and Beaumont-Wilshire, is one of the most desirable boroughs in the city’s Northeast quadrant.

Beauty in the Heart of the Alberta Arts Neighborhood

Posted on by Sally Tansill

As a resident of the Alberta Arts Neighborhood I have become used to the vibrant visual arts that decorate the storefronts and homes in my neck of the woods.  So used to it sometimes, that I can often put my head down and go about my life with the regular routine without taking the time to look up and notice what has changed or remind myself how exceptional this neighborhood is.  I was walking my dog the other night and happened to look up and was struck by what seemed to me a perfect picture, the courtyard of the commercial building around the corner from me at night lit beautifully.  Sometimes I am moved to capture these moments and so I did.  I often struggle with how to manage these bursts of light, whether to file them away in my personal experience or share them with others.  My experience of this neighborhood is more than just a great place to live with yummy food, small hidden gems or quirky installations, it is a sensory experience that is a constant reminder of the city’s history, creativity and embrace of what brings us together.  I love that one mental snapshot can wake me up to this and it happens more here than any other place I have lived.
