Patient, Smart and Persistent
First time homebuyer Alix hit the sweet spot. Patient, smart, and persistent, she had just the right combo of traits to make this happen, and in this market, it was no easy feat. We pounded the pavement all the way from Brentwood-Darlington to Kenton and lots of places in-between. Not too picky, but a few must haves were on the list. Decisive and eager, it was also easy to get disappointed in this market, but Alix was amazingly persistent and wanted to pick it right back up. After getting in back-up position three times, it turned out the third time really was the charm. Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac in South Tabor, she hit the jackpot with a straightforward purchase and a really great house in an easy and quiet little community.
Coaching first-time homebuyers is really fun when your buyer wants to do their homework and show up with smart questions. That’s Alix. Always cool and collected, we wanted to be sure to make good, solid financial decisions and to have a head’s up about what is coming down the pike next.
It was a real pleasure working alongside her and partner Drew, and I wish them and their little dog Arthur many years of happiness here!

Cool Lady Meets Garden-Wonder-Land
Victoria is a sensational lady: during our days of driving around exploring neighborhoods together, she wove many tales for me: a house in Sellwood, life in a tiny NY city apartment, living right off Division before it was Division, and more. Her energy, enthusiasm, and emotion for spaces and places is palpable. Finding the right garden was always the biggest part of it all. Anything else could be sacrificed, but there must be dirt and places for things to grow.
After another afternoon of relatively depressing house hunting (as sometimes it can take a LOT of vision to turn a neglected property into something livable), I asked her if there was anything else that came up this week that struck her. “Well, there was this one other house,” she said. Pictures looked a tad strange – what was that converted garage all about anyway? And, I don’t know if you’d want to live at a lower elevation adjacent to a terraced wall I said. Let’s check it out anyway to see for ourselves.
When we approached the front door, we were both gasping for air. THIS garden. This house. It was California bungalow meets rural, stylish, authentic mid-century vibe on a private lot, and it was all within her reach? We were stunned. That terraced wall we saw in the pictures? Well, imagine a very sturdy terrace, planted in an oasis of color, light, sun, with a view of it all right outside of the kitchen window in a wealth of living diversity to behold: snapdragons, roses, penstemon, lilac, herbs, ceanothus…oh my! Bees and hummingbirds were teeming in their occupation of pollination duties right before our eyes.
A nail-biter offer process with some very stiff competition led to a winning bid that ended up lower (much lower) than other competing bids, but with our communication, team-work and gusto, the sellers remarkably decided to go with us. In an incredibly short 22 day closing window, a true testament of cooperation, a ready-to-go house, terrific lender, and great vibes all around landed Victoria in this dream garden spot.
To say I care about my clients is an understatement. Real estate is about connection, intention, and finding real friendships. I’m so grateful I got to meet this awesome lady and I wish her so much happiness in this new chapter, especially while there’s still so much Portland summer to enjoy that garden.
CONGRATULATIONS!!

Sheltering in Place…in Paradise
Country living has long been a dream of clients & friends Keri and Justin.
Long imagined boundless spaces for the children to play, to swing on swings, to dig in the dirt, to garden without limits, to breathe the freshest air, to live unencumbered by the vastness of Oregon beauty, all close enough to town and in a good school district, it took some real energy to find just the right love connection with a spot of land.
It’s all now no longer just a fantasy. With all of its form, fit, style, and function, this drop-dead gorgeous Stafford wine estate will entertain and sustain these wonderful hobby-farm enthusiasts for years and years.
Starting this new reality of shelter-in-place orders from the Oregon governor for the next unknown period of time is for now a wonderful excuse for this family to explore, understand, and connect with every square inch of this over 5-acre parcel.
CONGRATULATIONS!
