Storybook Ending in Hillsboro

Posted on by Tracey Henkels

Congratulations to Chad and Libby!

I love this story and helping buyers as their families grow!

I worked with Cool-as-a-Cucumber-Chad when buying his starter home years ago. Fast forward to today and now he is the luckiest man on earth because he’s married to the Lovely-and-Amazing Libby and they have the cutest one-year-old and are planning for more. Time for a bigger house!

The sale of Chad’s original home was smooth sailing, we negotiated a great rent back so Chad and Libby had some breathing room to begin the big house hunt! It was very important to them that the next house be close to their jobs and big enough that their family could comfortably grow. They didn’t want to move again for quite some time.

The hunt was concise and happily, after just a couple of showings, there was one home that really stood out. They knew they wanted to raise their family in THIS home. It had a huge family room addition with added bedrooms and bathrooms, a huge yard, plus a picture-perfect ADU on the garage for added income or family. This home fits their vision exactly!

Congratulations to Chad and Libby!!

The last year has left Daniela feeling a bit unmoored, profoundly unsure more often than not about what the future might hold, creating an abundance of questions, many without answers. Her head has often been a jumble of conflicting logistics even as her heart has known that she was headed somewhere… and she knew she had arrived at that “somewhere” the moment she saw this house. Sounds a bit melodramatic, so what… it’s true.
Her dream was coming alive as she envisioned having studio space to paint and write, and to house a small poetry press… a project she has been planning with a friend and fellow PNCA colleague. She has been dreaming about it for a long time and this is the spot she has been waiting for.

Woman of action

Jenny is a woman who gets things done. She had a strong drive for a home with space enough to share with her grown kiddos when needed, but still small enough for her lifestyle… and not without ample yard space for her chicken coop dreams. With Jenny’s focus and clarity on our side, we found just the quaint home with a double lot she was looking for.

Pulling out all The Stops

Posted on by Tracey Henkels

Congratulations to Cissie!

I recently had a great experience helping one of the coolest ladies in Portland buy her first house! Cissie is sharp, kind, effortlessly cool and plays bass in a band called The Stops. She found a super cute single level ranch on a quiet street in NE Portland’s Hazelwood neighborhood with fruit trees and a big yard.

Also, because Cissie doesn’t drive, this transaction got me thinking about Portlanders who live without a car and are buying a house on a tight budget. Through the process of showing her houses and neighborhoods, I gained a lot of knowledge around which outer neighborhoods are best for car-less commuters. After working with Cissie I’m happy to report there are many great places in a modest price range with great transportation options!

Compared to most, Portland is a wonderful city to have a car-less lifestyle. The commute might be soggy from time to time, but definitely do-able. If you ask most people where a good place to live without a car in Portland might be, you might get an answer like: The Pearl or close in parts of the city. But prices are sometimes steep in those areas and competition is high. What I noticed is that parts of the Eastside as well as parts of North/Northeast Portland are perfect for public transportation and bike commuters and the price point is within reach for a lot of first time home buyers!

Kaola travels a lot for work and lives a very full life. Hunting for a home can be challenging because inventory is unpredictable and fast moving.  Often great possibilities would pop up when she was out of town and then nothing would come on while she was available. Kaola remained patient and her spirit did not waiver.  Our commitment to maximize the time she had helped her know what she wanted and led her to the perfect home when it finally arrived … A great neighborhood, solid home, and plenty of space to have a housemate if she so desires!  The time spent house hunting with Kaola will be missed but we are so happy for her to have a home!

Home is where family is …

Posted on by Jessica LeDoux

Qian and her mother Amy ventured into real estate together 5+ years ago by purchasing a lovely NE Portland home on a huge lot. Together they built a fabulous ADU for mom and enjoyed being together for several years. Once Qian had a daughter of her own, she wanted a bit more space and purchased a new home in South Tabor last summer.  Mom had planned to stay put in NE but found herself wanting to be close again… but maybe not as close 🙂 We went looking and she has found a beautiful new home within walking distance of Qian’s family … a perfect home at the amount of space away that fit everyone’s needs. Now Amy is home again!

Marshall and Suzanne had no time to waste…  They set their eyes on something and made it happen!  Two busy professionals with 3 young children and all the activities of life did not slow this couple down.  The phone call was made about listing their SE home, they moved the family to interim housing, prepared and staged their home for sale…2 months later they are closing on their SW purchase. Wow, I am in awe of their “no bull, let’s get this done” way of living life with grace!

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!

Congratulations to Julian and his family!!

They say: kind people are the best kind of people to know and and that quote reminds me of Julian. He was referred to me by my fantastic preferred lender and I’m so glad I met him! He was great to work with and I’m thrilled we could get him into the house he had his eye on. 

Julians home buying story is a simple one really… Julian saw a house for sale down the street from where he was living and he took a shot at making it his own! First things first, he went out and got pre-approved (everyone should be taking notes here! Ha!) The house was well loved although it had a few quirks. He was a very diligent buyer, kept an open mind through inspections and in the end both sides were able to see eye to eye in order to seal the deal!  

The house is super cute, the yard is completely dialed in with lovely landscaping and he will be enjoying blueberries, raspberries and flowers from his garden. I hope Julian and his family have a great summer hanging out in the amazing yard and patio!

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!

Friend Referral – Thank you!

Posted on by Living Room Realty

A few years ago I sold a home to a young man who inevitably became one of my dearest and closest friends. Sometimes I marvel at the way real estate can bring life long steadfast people to you. This last Thanksgiving we were invited to his home for dinner. 25 people were seated at a very long table, for the most part made up of his college friends. One couple really stood out to me for their kindness and irreverent charm + sense of humor.

Never did I expect that they would become real estate clients of mine. Spending time with them this Spring while looking for their first home has been a wonderful journey. Viewing homes and writing offers in our competitive market was made all the more enjoyable because they give you friendship + trust with a willingness to listen and learn. Eager to stop for juice, coffee or just sit and visit along the way I found myself looking forward to our house touring dates.

They are always so happy to accommodate my availability and thankful for our working relationship. They stand out and really shine brightly in evidence of how beautiful working together to find a home can be. Congratulations to them now, new owners of their first home!

Yesterday we closed on honestly the best home they considered over the past 4 years. 

Today I woke up to these messages:

I honestly loved helping them and was invested in their process, not a sale.

Moments like this (receiving these texts) are what make every tour and every conversation what I love about my job!

Congratulations!!

Decisiveness at its best …

Posted on by Jessica LeDoux

Wow, Jenny and Will are a powerhouse couple and wonderful people!  They had their eyes set on moving to Portland.  When an opportunity to relocate became available in Jenny’s company they jumped and immediately reached out to a Portland friend for a REALTOR® recommendation … We got the call!

After our conference call we hit the ground running!  As we awaited Jenny’s arrival to tour homes we utilized the time to virtually hunt! Discussing properties in depth, reviewing video walk throughs, and learning more about the neighborhoods of interest, more than prepared all of us for the Tour-Palooza.  Jenny landed at 9, we toured 15 homes, and she hopped back on an airplane at 6pm. They were in contract to buy a home just a couple days later… WOW!

Their decisiveness & commitment to the process was displayed in every step of the transaction and they were on top of everything.  When I called to say the house had closed, we chatted about how great this has been and in that moment I realized I’d forgotten that EVERY other REALTOR® experience Jenny and Will had experienced was underwhelming.  Consequently, their words expressing how wonderful buying in Portland was for them mean that much more.  We are so grateful for your trust and are honored to have exceeded your expectations because you deserve only the best!

Robin and Kevin sold their home and immediately started their search for their dream home!  The hunt was not easy.  They lost on a few.  Patiently waited through multiple weeks of no inventory.  Backing up against the end of their rent back period finally not only the right house hit the market… the perfect house appeared. They gave it everything they had and won!  This family deserved incredible results.  Super happy for them!

He worked hard to put himself through school and volunteer at Columbia River Fire & Rescue. Josh set his goal for his ultimate dream job:  to work at Portland Fire and Rescue. He received the call of a lifetime, an offer to begin his career as a Firefighter Paramedic in the city he had come to know and love, Portland.  Now it was time to achieve his second goal … home ownership! Just as he did with his career, he started this process with complete commitment and found an amazing first home where his 5 brothers will help him put on a new roof. It’s fabulous to achieve goals & it is awesome to have a great family!

Bruce and Julie just bought a beautiful home in Grant Park! I had the pleasure of meeting them through my lovely neighbors and nothing makes me happier than a GREAT referral! We worked together to sell their family home of 47 years, then purchase this darling Grant Park home which is much closer to their Daughter and Grandchildren. Julie brings her grandchildren to and from school everyday and now that transition is even easier. I am honored to have helped them into the next phase of their life!

All my best to the whole family!

Realizing you deserve to dream big…

Our mission is to not just sell homes, it is to help clients realize what is possible even if it feels like an unattainable goal.  Grace and Achama sat down with us and shared their new home needs, but as we toured homes the dream of having a view property became something important to explore. Grace works hard, takes care of others, and loves deeply… knowing if this dream was possible was something she deserved. Achama wanted her to have this and helped her see it was time to reward herself; now it was our job to see if this was possible! Well, it was… the perfect east side view property hit the market and we jumped.  I can picture them now enjoying the peace and joy this home will bring them. We are honored to have met and helped these beautiful humans!  Simply love what we do…

Patience Pays Off in Alameda

Paloma and Mike are amazing clients and together we achieved something almost beyond belief!

I think everyone can relate to falling in love with a house above your price range. We all have felt that. Here’s the difference: Paloma and Mike were able to hold out, watch and wait until the house was within reach!

This is their dream house, it was on the market for 249 days and now it is their home sweet home!

Let’s talk about a Win-Win!

Posted on by Tracey Henkels

 

Ashlee and Thomas were basically my perfect clients. Practical and pragmatic, they were level headed,  listened to my advice. Let me tell you, having clients with such a great attitude was an absolute delight for me!

9951 SW Lancaster Rd, Portland, OR 97219 9951 SW Lancaster Rd, Portland, OR 97219 9951 SW Lancaster Rd, Portland, OR 97219

Ashlee and Thomas were ready to move in together and needed a little more elbow room than she had in her previous 600 sq/ft bachelorette pad. They knew they wanted a quiet home in a sweet neighborhood in a great school district. We looked at a lot of gems but none of them spoke to Ashlee more than this delightful home on Lancaster. With plenty of green space surrounding and a view of the woods, they knew it was the one. Ashlee would have room for her kitties and Thomas had a great space to paint.

This transaction was a great example of both sides working together so that everything could come together seamlessly.

Posted on by Jessica LeDoux

Jordan came to us after an exhausting experience, looking for better support and counsel.  We knew he had found his match, because we strive to provide a high level of service, counsel, and representation …  Together we set out to honor this commitment for Jordan and  what a fun time we had!  Among what the considerations were unique homes, urban farm homes & we tried on various neighborhoods; then the path was found leading to this beauty in Concordia.  What an honor it was to help you Jordan, and to get to know you along the way.  Congratulations!
