Our lovely buyers, Mary and Mikel, just closed on this lovely remodeled home last week.  Sometimes “flipped” homes get a bad rap, but this dialed home in Cully was restored with care and attention to detail.  A great combination of mid-century charm with modern updates.  Check out the beautiful finishes and awesome oversized back yard!

Leap of Faith = Sweet Laurelhurst Homecoming!

Posted on by Erika George & Kari McGee

We just helped Matt and Shannon purchase this GORGEOUS Laurelhurst home.  It is fully updated with a modern, open floor-plan, a stunning kitchen with an island that goes on and and on, and a private owners’ suite that will be the perfect sanctuary for these two busy working parents!

It is truly a homecoming for them, as Shannon grew up around the corner and Matt’s sister (also a HouseLovePDX client) lives only blocks away.  We first met Matt and Shannon last December, when they were here visiting family.  They were living in the Bay Area and were excited at the thought of leaving California behind for the quality of life that living in Portland, surrounded by family, might bring.  Then the global pandemic hit. Thud. Fast forward to July, when two things became clear:  (1)  Covid was here to stay (at least for the foreseeable future)  and (2) they still wanted to move.  They noticed this beautifully updated Laurelhurst home as soon as it hit the market and called us.  We provided them with many virtual and online resources so they could learn as much as possible about the house.  We provided them with an in-depth video tour so they could investigate every closet, nook and cranny.  We gave them our honest assessment of the location, quality of construction and price.  They made an offer, sight unseen.  It was a true LEAP OF FAITH!

That “leap” was the reason Matt and Shannon’s PDX dreams came true.  We were able to celebrate with them in person last week (outside, of course), and it was so sweet to be able to see their smiles in person.

The global pandemic has altered the way people buy and sell homes — it is hard to see us “going back” to the way things were pre-Covid.  One byproduct of this is that it has never been easier to purchase a home from afar.  We have so many virtual tools and we have developed great systems to help our out-of-town buyers comfortably purchase homes here in the greater Portland area! If you, or someone you love, wants to re-locate to the Portland area, give us a call — we’d love to help!

Amazing in July!

Posted on by Erika George & Kari McGee

Derek and Michelle first laid eyes on their lovely Lake Oswego home back in March; March 13th to be exact.  They saw this great house online and given that they lived out of state, wondered if we could “video” it for them.  Property videos are one of our most important tools for our out of area buyers, so with the back drop of school closure announcements due to spreading Covid-19 in our area, I headed down to Lake Oswego to take some fun property videos armed with with tons of hand sanitizer (hard to believe but masks weren’t a thing back then), my phone and my Gimble!  OH, no big deal but it also was just about to start snowing… on March 13th.

As I walked around the incredible 1 acre lot, I recall saying on the video, “well, it’s freezing and gloomy and wet right now, but boy, I bet this place is AMAZING in July”.

Well, it is truly amazing in July.  And while yes, it took a few attempts to get an offer accepted, and yes, Covid-19 made everything harder than it should have been, and yes March 13th seems like a lifetime ago, Derek and Michelle and their three kiddos are moving to Lake Oswego to experience the amazing of Lake Oswego July, in person. 

We truly couldn’t be happier for them.  Not everyone has the grit to make an out of state move during a pandemic but if you are up for it like Derek and Michelle, just let us know!  All you need to get started are some fun, HouseLovePDX property videos (and definitely some gloves, masks and lots of hand sanitizer)!
