Cheers to our New Home Buyer!

Posted on by Tracey Henkels

Congratulations to first time home buyer Emily!!

Emily is the coolest! I met her through my assistant, Jasmine, who met her years and years ago while both of them were working hard to grow in their careers and bartending on the side. These days, both have hit their stride professionally and Emily is now an Environmental Engineer and killing it in her field! 

Emily is a laid back person, an avid bicyclist and came to us looking for a sweet little house in N Portland. She lived with roommates and loves how financially beneficial that living arrangement can be. Her list of needs was very reasonable, said she could live with any kind of imperfection in a home as long as she had a great bike commute and the house was in move in ready. Easy enough! …And maybe too easy because low and behold the SECOND house we showed her was a true gem!  The perfect size, in great condition, a garage for bike repairs and easy access to a bike path! We jumped on the opportunity and now Emily is the proud owner of a lovely home! She might even have enough space for puppy, yay!

Don’t be surprised if you see her cruising around St Johns on her bike with a huge grin on her face!

Perrrrrrfect Hillsboro Home- MEOW!

Posted on by Tracey Henkels

Congratulations to our delightful first time home buyers!

Emmalisa and Zack were great clients- pragmatic, researched, smart cookies and avid cat lovers. I didn’t think anyone loved cats more than I did! Zack even advised Jasmine on the perrrrfect cat for her daughter who has a history of cat allergies. What a dream to work with!

We looked at many houses in the Hillsboro/Beaverton area. There were some great houses that went pending before we could even get in the door and some not so great houses that we walked away from. At last, a 4 bedroom gem-of-a-house pulled at their heartstrings and became ‘the one’. It felt like home right away!

A quick, smooth, and friendly transaction made their dreams come true and I wish them all the best in their new home!
