When your “New Normal” is…. freaking awesome!!

Posted on by Tracey Henkels

Congratulations to Jake and Nicole!

I think you can all relate when I say- what a year!!  The pandemic really threw a wrench in things (to put it very mildly) and we are seeing a lot of folks making changes in the aftermath. My clients, Jake and Nicole, exemplify this and are making a big change! They own a darling home in Overlook and loved it when they bought it. Working from home, through the pandemic, they realized that owning an older home (no matter how cute it is) can be a lot of work! They were feeling overwhelmed with the tasks required of them and realized that yard work was not for them. They felt inspired to look for a low-maintenance place with modern conveniences and a modern design. What they found was perfect! A lovely newer townhome in Hillsdale with clear grain cedar exterior, floor to ceiling triple glazed European windows & doors, white oak hardwood floors, wool carpet, quartz countertops, marble master bathroom, stainless steel appliances. I’m so happy for them! Congratulations!

Congratulations to the Voelkers!!

 

I’m so thrilled for the Voelkers and their new home!! They exemplify patience and stick-to-itiveness! And now they have keys to a sweet 50’s ranch in a great neighborhood close to their friends. 

Everyone knows that things don’t always happen on your timeline. Sometimes you’re rolling with the punches and pivoting more than expected. The Voelkers were always game to try things out and walk away when it wasn’t right. That’s especially hard to do in a seller’s market and there’s no guarantee the next one will be any easier for a buyer. But, again, patience and persistence run deep in this family, and I admire that! Buying a home is no small thing and you should only buy the house that is right for you. This is surely the home that is right for the Voelkers! Cheers!

 

 

Just Sold! Brand New Build in Bethany!

Posted on by Living Room Realty

I wish it was possible to bottle-up the ecstatic feeling that buying your first home brings. My clients Stephane and Kim just found out exactly what that feels like! Portland was on their radar for its proximity to nature. They’re from San Francisco, work in tech, and now are proud home-owning Portlanders. Situated in the Bethany area, their home is newly built this year. Its modern farmhouse floorplan gives the space a delightful openness with amenities galore. Kitchen features caesarstone counters, full-length cabinetry, and a huge island. Bedrooms and storage on all levels, with handsome oak floors/stairs throughout. My clients plan on embracing their love of nature and climbing. They’ll find parks and hiking trails aplenty near their new home, and they look forward to frequent trips to Smith Rock. What an amazing first home for this couple. Congratulations to you both!
