Let’s talk RESOURCES!

Let’s talk RESOURCES!

Being a self proclaimed “Resource Queen” is one of the many badges I wear with THE UTMOST honor. I firmly believe that for every problem there is a solution/resource out there. I also believe that everyone is deserving of home ownership regardless of their socioeconomic circumstances. However, as the ancient adage goes, ‘with great power comes great responsibility’.

This couldn’t have rang more true with the amazing buyers of this lovely listing. My clients being hard working, dedicated to the process and trusting me the whole way through made turning their dreams into reality a fulfilling challenge. After some failed attempts at home ownership with past realtors/programs they were able to find success with me! I knew from the very beginning that this was a responsibility bestowed upon me that I could accept with confidence. I constantly reassured my buyers that they were in fact worthy of their goal, home ownership.

Being well versed in first time home buyers programs, down payment assistance programs and negotiation techniques such as seller paid closing costs I was able to guide my client to the path of home ownership with the help of one of my INCREDIBLE preferred lenders.

Thanks for trusting me and never giving up, Deskin Family!

You all are a testament to what can happen when you have a bit of faith, a lot of patience and the right team working for you.

It was a pleasure & a privilege.

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

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!

Coastal Dreamin’

In these days of Covid-19 and lockdowns, shut downs, work-from-home, and the big social D, it’s not rare for a family to wish to evacuate to the Oregon Coast, but my clients Aron and Erin had this dream long, long ago. For many years, Aron waited and wished for a position to open up in his company which would allow him to transfer to Astoria, the town of his family’s dreams.  A small town with a lively brew-pub culture, a convenient walking/biking path through the whole of town, and a quick drive to the beach.  Essentially, a place with a small-town feel but an up-and-coming attitude.

Finally, and very rapidly, it happened! The job was offered, readily accepted and Aron was starting in mere weeks. The family had to list their home, get an offer, find a new home, buy/sell concurrently and !move! all while Aron was driving to Astoria from Portland, and back, each day. It was complete chaos, but sometimes chaos and timing yield GREAT things.

In this case, it yielded a three story town house with en-suite bedroom on each floor, a large balcony with a river view in the darling Mill Pond neighborhood. If you don’t know the Mill Pond neighborhood, it was previously a saw mill. Venerable Properties cleaned it up and turned it into a contemporary housing development built around the mill pond, with attractively designed mixed use housing and communal green space. It’s right along the shoreline of the mighty Columbia, and literally on the Astoria Riverwalk, so it’s conveniently located to downtown Astoria and one of the most beautiful multi-use paths (head East from Mill Pond, you won’t be sorry!) in Oregon.

I’d like to congratulate Aron and Erin and their family on a really great idea come to fruition! I expect they’ll find years of enjoyment in their new coastal lifestyle and I look forward to visits! Thank you for choosing me to be your REALTOR®.

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!
