First Time Buyer + Pandemic = No Problem

Buying your first home is never easy. When Travis approached me earlier this year he had plenty of questions, wanted to see several homes, and was also in no rush to purchase. He was happy to wait for the perfect home at the perfect time. Then a global pandemic shut down most aspects of society and his anticipated wait suddenly got a lot longer. However, with patience and guidance Travis was able to find a quintessential 1940s home in Milwaukie- close to both his work and family. 

 

The rules and regulations may have gotten stricter but the fundamentals of a transaction remain the same. Together, we had a smooth and issue-free process culminating with a closing date just in time for warming weather and a summer spent in the private oasis of his new home. 

First Time Buyers Find Home in the Heart of the City

Pete and Claire are living the Portland Dream! Several years ago they married atop Mt. Tabor and now are the proud owners of a true Portland classic- a 1904 Buckman! After renting for several years nearby, Pete & Claire fell in love with the atmosphere of Morrison and the bars of Belmont. Proximity to public transit and the new neighborhood they’d come to love were their main factors when the house search began. However, finding a diamond in the rough takes time and patience. While multiple offers were made, the stars aligned in mid-November when they walked into the home on Stark. Finding a house with a vintage feel but also containing multiple modern updates is a rarity and doing it on a budget is nearly impossible. However, Pete & Claire are all the proof needed to know that dreams do come true.
