Timeline…What Timeline?!

Congratulations to Chrys & Mo on the purchase of their first home! These first-timers are gonna have to create some new long term goals.

A fellow agent and former-teacher referred C+M to me. Coming from a different market, he wanted to make sure I’d vibe with their blue hair and tattoos. I told him half of us in Portland look like that. I had dreadlocks for 6 years, sir – I’ll take good care of your people!

From the moment I first spoke with C+M, we clicked. They were planners. The original timeframe for their first purchase? 2024/2025. But after an initial visit to Portland where we toured a few homes, they quickly targeted a new move date: fall 2023.

Well, sometimes the right house comes along…and you gotta throw all caution to the wind and ask her to dance. We did just that, scheduling a virtual showing right away and then crafting a stellar offer with strong terms and a quick close to beat out 2 other offers.

Repair negotiations Can a bit tricky, but these were straightforward! In the end, we were able to negotiate a sizable credit to be put toward a number of maintenance items (as well as guaranteeing the removal of a dead rat from the crawlspace prior to close – no one wants uninvited guests!)

As of today, C+M are officially Oregonians! They’re excited for the rain and cooler temps – we’ll see how long that lasts. Cheers, y’all!

Sibling Domesticity

Hi Readers!

If you have a sibling, remember saying, “Get out of my room!” as a kid?

For the Su family, they’re going to get to the chance to experience this as adults. Josh and Grace currently live in the Bay Area. Daniel is here in Portland. 2020 showed them the flexibility of remote working, and they made the smart choice to take advantage of terrific interest rates and programs for first time homebuyers to purchase their first home, together, in Tigard. Combined, their purchase power was more than double what Daniel was looking at for a purchase on his own.

We viewed several properties together, ranging from attached homes with HOAs to the home they ultimately decided to purchase. We put together a very strong offer and beat out 10 other offers. Its appreciated value is strong, it’s a very solid investment for them to begin their real estate portfolio.

To top it off, they are a great group who will make for great roommates…again.

Congratulations, gang! Thanks for choosing me to be your partner on this important journey.

Are you a first time buyer looking to double-down on your purchase power? Let’s talk about options. #callgab

Till then, high fives,

 

A Family of Firsts

Roman and Maria just bought their first home while expecting their first child! It was a delight to help them find the perfect place to settle into during this exciting time in their lives. They’re both first generation immigrants to the US, and buying a home has long been a dream of theirs. 

Roman works at Nike and needed a nice home office to use during Covid. They also wanted a sweet bedroom for the nursery, an updated kitchen and a large backyard for their growing family. 

The solution appeared on a cul-de-sac in Tigard: a beautifully updated split-level with a modern kitchen, spacious living areas, cheery room perfect for the nursery, luxe master suite, fully finished basement and a great backyard with a basketball court ready for their son when he gets a little older. 

Maria and Roman are so excited to share their new home with family and welcome their son in February! 

 

 

When You Know You KNOW

My clients had been commuting from their St. Johns basement apartment to Tigard for work, so space, convenience and light were top of mind in the search for the optimal home. It helps to know what you want because they just closed on the first and only home they toured, an airy oasis not far from their offices. The cheery home has vaulted ceilings with skylights and sliding doors to a private patio. They made an offer the day they saw it. Let me know if you’re ready to make the jump to your ideal home!

Steve and Gayle came to me by way of a referral from an old colleague of mine. A rental property for a number of years for them, they originally bought it for their daughter while she was living in Portland. Looking to do an exchange into a different property, we discussed the different options for them and how best to get the most out of their investment property.

With the Sellers living out-of-state, we had to do some coordination to make sure I was able to see the property prior to listing, give my opinions on the work needed to be done once the tenants moved-out, and then properly prepare it to come to market. Thankfully Steve and Gayle took all my advice to heart and were able to get the proper contractors through to prepare the home to list.

We allowed for 5 days on market for proper market time for all interested parties to make it through the home, ended up with multiple offers on the property, and at the end of it all, my client’s selected the Buyers who were represented by a fabulous Living Room Realty agent, Ella Gray.

I am always appreciative of solid co-op agent, and this time I had a stellar one in Ella. Ella’s communication, ability to direct her client’s on making a competitive offer, and the follow through during the negotiations once in contract were exceptional and a big part of why we are closing today. In addition, having Bill Dolan with Guild Mortgage on the Buyer’s side for lending, the communication was in abundance and I knew where we sat through the entire process, a huge thing from the Listing Side.

Congrats to all parties involved!

 

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

The Cutest Cape Cod

So cute they moved it! Purportedly moved to its current site in 1950, this circa 1930-40’s cape cod was previously in the path of the local Fred Meyer grocery and was obviously kept for its cuteness. This home just oozes period details — from the coved ceiling with picture rail, the ogee archway to the kitchen; the clapboard exterior siding with scalloped trim; to the speak-easy peephole in the decorative door. Gently updated with a few modern perks such as an open plan living room; modern plan kitchen; the master bedroom on main with en-suite bath and walk-in closet; a main level laundry area; and a second bedroom on the main floor. There’s a spacious upstairs area with a 13×19 bedroom and a 13×22 bonus room/office/den. The yard is fenced with an over-sized 1 car garage, RV pad, and a large rolling lawn – a clean slate for your landscaping dreams.
Conveniently located to shopping, restaurants, drive-in theater and really great take out! Nearby freeway and highway access – 217, I-5, and 99W, making travel a breeze.

Just Sold in Tigard

Earlier this Spring my clients Brooke and Jeff reached out about purchasing a home Tigard. We have worked together before and I was honored when they asked for my help again. They already had an ideal location and price point in mind and we discussed how competitive it might be to find a home in that area. As we prepared ourselves for a potentially long and difficult search, this charming one-story ranch came on the market in the much beloved Hambach Park neighborhood. Luckily, we were able to move quickly and locked it down on the first day. It is always a joy to work with clients over the years as their real estate needs change and evolve. Congrats Jeff and Brooke, it has been a privilege to help you find this home!
