Sellers want to know! Folks are coming out of the woodwork to call us and ask…”When should I list my home this year?” You might be wondering, why is this year different? Drum roll please… it’s a presidential election year. Some experts predict that the spring and summer will be great times to list, while the fall will be quieter than usual… Hmmm… less competition for sellers or a listing that sits? Reach out to us today to discuss this more! We are here to help.
You may have no thoughts on selling your home anytime soon, but knowing the current value of your home is critical in being able to make those spontaneous decisions. Whether you want to go live abroad, have been thinking that it might be cool to move to another neighborhood, town, or state, or are looking in the future to care for a loved one, knowing your home’s current value allows you to make on-the-fly decisions. We tell our clients all the time, “plan ahead to be spontaneous”! Book an appointment with us today to find out your property’s value.
This h
oliday season I promised myself that despite the typical holiday chaos, I would try to take some time for myself and do something fun that I’d been putting off. Binge watching the Great British Bake Off inspired me to finally attempt some Peppermint Meringues I’ve always wanted to try making. They ended up being super easy and delicious! I’m looking forward to taking this newly acquired meringue expertise to the next level by attempting a Boccone Dolce made of meringues, fruit and whipped cream. Yum! If I can master this in time for a birthday party I’m hosting, it would be such a win!
If you have bigger projects on your resolution list, like buying or selling a house, I’d be happy to help you accomplish that goal by breaking that down into manageable steps. As with any project, baby steps (i.e. Peppermint Meringues) can be stepping stones to achieving the bigger goal (Boccone Dolce for that upcoming birthday party!).
Look past the paint and the details. Is the house filled with junk? Are the photos just bad? See everything on the market. You’ll be surprised! And, I love the hunt for a great diamond in the rough.
Some lenders are better than others at this. I can help you find a lender who will give you a clear idea of what you need to do to fix your credit and better qualify for a loan.
They are not all the same and it’s important you like the lender you work with. Look into first-time homebuyer programs, FHA or VA or Oregon Bond. I can help guide you to lenders who have the loan packages best for you. And, it’s important you feel comfortable talking with them about money and finances. This can feel very personal so you want to work with a lender who is a good fit for you.
Because interest rates have been high this year, rate buydowns have become pretty common. Sometimes you can even negotiate this with the seller so they pay to buy down your rate. You can also buy down the rate on your own and your lender can walk you through that.
This will save money in the long run. No one likes surprises in real estate so I highly recommend every single client has a home inspection done to avoid an expensive surprise after you get the keys. Home inspections cost money but they are worth it! I typically recommend these basic inspections- general home inspection, sewer scope, radon test and an underground storage tank scan.
This one is easy because most sellers are eager to let you know what has been updated recently. But it’s very important when we are crunching the numbers and deciding if the value is there for you.
These are two things you can’t easily change about a house so they are very important to focus on when you’re buying.
This is a big one because no one wants to spend every single weekend and evening working on their home projects, no matter how much money it saves. I have a lot of clients who begin their house hunt very certain they can easily renovate a house. Then, they learn more and realize it’s not as simple as it seems. Especially on a budget. I will help you get bids for major renovations or big updates during your inspection period. That way you can make an informed decision about what works for you. This is case by case so I’ll advise according to each buyer’s situation.
I am here to help you understand the local real estate market conditions. Are prices trending up or down? Are there any neighborhoods where prices are more favorable? Knowledge of the market will help you make informed decisions.
Sellers who are motivated to sell quickly may be more willing to negotiate on price. These motivations can include job relocations, divorces, financial difficulties, or properties that have been on the market for an extended period. A big part of my job is to build rapport with other agents to get as much information as possible and find the win-win for everyone!
It’s better to look at the data and make informed offers. Sometimes buyers purchase below the list price but throwing a very low offer price out there just to see what happens is not productive. While you want a good deal, making an unrealistically low offer can turn off sellers and waste time. I work with clients to determine a fair and competitive offer based on market comparables.
This is a big one. The timeline a buyer thinks they need is usually the first thing out the window. Don’t rush into a purchase. Sometimes, waiting for the right opportunity can lead to a better deal. Keep an eye on the market and be prepared to act when the time is right.
This dovetails with being patient. If a deal falls through for another buyer, having a backup offer ready can put you in a strong position to negotiate with a motivated seller. You’d be surprised how often this happens.
Be open to compromise on non-essential features or repairs. Being flexible can help bridge gaps in negotiations. A lot of times these non-essential repairs feel like a big deal in the moment but they don’t need to be deal breakers.
Reach out if you’re interested in talking more about buying or selling a home. I’m here for you! If you’re a first-time home buyer I can set up a new-buyer meeting and go over everything step by step. If you already own a home and you’re ready to sell that one and get the next one, let’s make a plan that works for you.
Bringing authenticity into real estate is my calling- I love to engage with new people and listen carefully to their needs and goals, then throw all my energy into helping to achieve them! I am known for my knowledge of the market and my ability to educate and listen carefully, although my secret superpower is that I remember every house I’ve seen (which is a lot).

As a photographer, realtor and extrovert and I love finding the intersections of work and play. I am using color film to photograph people in front of their home. For many, home is more than just a photograph. It brings a sense of belonging, growth, family stories and secrets, laughter, tears and more. Knowing why someone calls a place “Home” is the root of this project and how it was born.
Your home doesn’t have to be the fanciest on the block, you don’t need to dress up and have perfect smiles, or tilt your head every so slightly to the left. My aim is to take a couple semi candid shots with color film of you, your family, and/or your pets out in front of your home. What do you love about where you live? Is it the architecture, the yard, the community and neighbors, the memories, or is it that indescribable feeling you got when you walked in the door for the first time? Whatever it may be, I would love to hear about it.
All participants will receive a digital copy of the photograph via email. I will be featuring the photos and blurb on social media and on the Living Room blog. For privacy, I will not include last names or full addresses. For more information or questions about the project, please reach out to me.
Whether buying a house or just doing property research, we all have practical questions around real estate, neighborhoods, and our city and we are sure the answers are out there. But often times, we’ve got no idea where to look!
As a licensed agent in this beautiful city, I hear a lot of questions on repeat. To list some of the most frequent:
Did they pull a permit?
How is this property zoned? And what does R5 mean anyway?
What is crime *really* like around here?
Where’s the closest dog park?
What are the schools like?
The list goes on!
For buyers and sellers, Portland Maps can answer all of these questions and *more*. To begin with, there are also maps of noise complaints, cannabis applications, short-term rental registry, and residential construction permits.
Portland Maps is also one of the greatest resources out there for Portland residents and homeowners. With an incredible virtual tour of the Crystal Springs running from Johnson Creek Park to Reeds College and a map of Portland Hydro-parks, you might be surprised at what you’ll find.
Want to apply as a Green Street Steward (or find out what that even is)? Want to browse a Portland tree inventory? Pop your own address in. See what you can learn about your biggest and best investment and this city we all call home!

I am in the bizzyness of selling houses to good humans in Portland, OR. In 2022 I had the pleasure and privilege of selling 27 magnificent homes to the best buyers and sellers in the world, including a handful of folx who bought and sold, or sold and bought. I work by referral only, and after working as a real estate broker for 15+ years, I have the divine fortune of being able to choose to only work with good people who I adore. For those of you who have worked with me over the past 15 years, and those of you who have referred your friends, family and colleagues, I am thankful beyond belief. Goodness gracious I am one lucky duck.
If 2023 is the year you plan to Buy or Sell, now is the time to plan and prep. The first step is to decide on the team of experts to get you comfortably and successfully through this process: your Realtor and/or Lender.
Selling
Now is the time to talk with your agent about market prep. The right market prep can lead to a quick sale at favorable terms, even in a market that is…on the slow side. Inventory levels are still low and Buyers still want the house with the beautiful photos that is (or appears to be) move in ready. A good agent can help you achieve that goal.
Buying
Now is the time to find the right lender. In a market with higher interest rates, a Lender that is open to a creative approach to your financing might be the way to get you the most for your money. A lender that has a solid financial background, as well as being a mortgage originator, is the best approach here.
Bottom line, it’s not too early to start planning for a Spring or Summer move. NOW is the time to get ducks in a row to make this transition as smooth as possible. I’m happy to help with market prep, contractor referrals and lender referrals. Let’s chat!

It’s no wonder so many people are nervous to sell in a stabilizing market when we are being bombarded with articles titled: “The Fed is Killing The Housing Market”(CNN), “Here’s How Weird Things Are Getting In The Housing Market”(Bloomberg), and “Mortgage Application Plummets.”(NBC) But we can assure you there are still good stories out there, and you’re about to hear one.
Veery had the opportunity to work with Leigh a few years ago to sell her home, and we were delighted to get the opportunity to work with them again!
Raymond and Leigh were ready for a change. They had just begun a new chapter in their lives together and part of this new chapter was a new home. They decided to sell their custom-built 2017 home and our team, Current Dwelling Group, had the amazing opportunity to help make this happen.
Raymond + Leigh read the same headlines and articles. We asked if this made them worried going into the preparation of selling their home.
Right away we focused on gathering the right information for Raymond and Leigh to know where their home stood on the market and what was an ideal and attainable goal.
We got our plan together on how to make this house shine and emphasize it’s strengths. “We knew the house needed some work, but I didn’t realize that the painting, yard work and touch ups would end up looking this great. I didn’t understand the need for a fence, but you all did and it paid off!” – Raymond
Our greatest joy in listing prep is gaining our client’s trust and then blowing them away with the results. We have spent decades building up relationships with high quality, reliable vendors. Each and every one of them are incredibly skilled in their craft. Each of our vendors put their special touch on this house to get it ready for market. Not only did they pull it off, they made the home shine the way it should!
The home went live on October 6 and within a 3 days we had multiple serious and competitive offers. An offer was accepted 5 days after going live and a closing date set in 2 weeks time.
There are good sales happening right now during this market shift.
Having successfully sold their home during this shift, we asked Raymond + Leigh what advice they would give someone on their home selling journey:
Here’s to you, Raymond + Leigh! Thank you for putting your trust in us and allowing us to serve you. We loved working with you both and hope this new season of life is full of peace and joy.

Between March 1st and June 30th of 2022, the real estate market here in Portland saw appreciation rise at a rate not seen since, well, ever. Over 20% year over year. Despite the challenges of the market, particularly being a buyer, I had 10 buyers and 5 sellers successfully close on homes- all on the east side in the City of Portland. Of those buyers and sellers- 2 sellers were able to buy first and closed in March, and then sold their homes April and May. Another of my sellers was able to sell their home and buy their next one within a couple of weeks in June. Six of my buyers were first time home buyers, and 1 of my sets of buyers purchased the home they had been renting directly from their landlord off-market. Lucky ducks. Of my 10 buyers, 7 got the first home they wrote an offer on, 2 got the second house they wrote on and 1 set got the third and best house they wrote on. The total number of homes I wrote a total of 14 offers. The youngest house I sold was a 1960 rancher in Parkrose Heights, and the oldest was a bungalow in the Richmond neighborhood built in 1912. Three of the houses got new roofs, 2 got new sewer lines, and 2 had leaking oil tanks- all of which were taken care of by the seller.
My 5 sellers did really well. Four of my sellers received multiple offers, and the fifth set of sellers accepted the first offer they received which was well over asking and submitted less than 24 hours after we went on the market. Of the 5 homes I listed, 4 were ones I had originally sold to the sellers. Bringing it full circle. Of my five sellers, 3 bought new and larger homes in Portland, and 2 moved out of state. The youngest house I sold was a condo built in 1972 on Jantzen Beach. All the other homes were built between 1906 and 1953. None of my sellers made any repairs, and only 2 gave closing cost credits/concessions for needed repairs. I sure know and love old houses.
Everyone of my clients was either a past client of mine, or a referral from another previous client, a friend or lenders I partner with. Fifteen transactions in 3 months is a lot for little old me who doesn’t have an assistant and doesn’t want one. Those are probably at least half the number of transactions I’ll have the honor of working on for the entire year. So much joy and happiness to be surrounded by.

Nope.. I didn’t spell it wrong, we’re talking about Milwaukie, Oregon, a suburb of Portland. I’ll save my opinion on the quality of the beer that shares a similar sounding name.
Milwaukie has the feel of a small town, but is just minutes away from all that Portland has to offer. This was exactly what drew my recent clients to this community. It’s really the best of both worlds for them, they found a feeling of quiet and calm without having to commit to actually living in a small town or leaving the city they love.
There are a ton of community events in Milwaukie that are great for residents and visitors alike. The Milwaukie farmers market is an absolute gem! Every Sunday, May through October, you can find a huge variety of local food items including produce, nuts, bread, snacks, wine and spirits. Additionally there is an impressive array of local crafts and often live music. It’s definitely worth checking out! The city also hosts Fun in the Park and Carefree Sunday events that are great for all ages! As the weather cools you might be interested in their Winter Solstice event at Milwaukie Bay Park where you can watch the Christmas Ships go by while you enjoy the bonfire and some tasty treats. If bonfires aren’t your preferred method of getting warm you might consider warming yourself from the inside at the beer garden – I’ve never checked, but my guess is they don’t serve Milwaukee’s Best.
