Congratulations to Kayla on the sale of her cute-as-a-button bungalow in Sabin!

This sale was a complete success. The perfect storyline.

Kayla was a dream client from the start. When we first met, I gave my recommendations for prepping the house for sale, and we discussed her options. After reviewing comps in her very specific neighborhood (or lack thereof), Kayla quickly understood that the investment would be worth it.

The house was lovely to begin with, and Kayla had already done some nice upgrades during her four years there. We decided to replace the track lighting in the living room with modern, low-profile, and dimmable canned lights. Additionally, she had the basement painted a warm white to brighten it up, since half of the living square footage was downstairs. Kayla also had the gutters and roof cleaned and HVAC serviced to help prep for an easier inspection.

Once on the market, we had 27 private showings and about 75 people through the two open houses – people seemed to like it 😉 We ended up with 7 excellent offers, and ended up in contract with some lovely buyers. The rest of the transaction went swimmingly, and we closed $66,000, 10%+ over our original list price!

Perfect timing – Kayla and her fiancé just purchased a home in Southern Oregon and are expecting a new addition to their family this fall. I couldn’t be happier for her, and for the new buyers. Cheers to a sweet, simple, & successful sale!

As your trusted guide through the buying or selling process, you can expect me to customize my services to your specific goals and preferences, much like I did for my students during my ten years as an educator. My clients’ goals vary. A couple retiring to the Big City after 30 years on 22 acres. A woman purchasing her first home independently. A couple upsizing to support a growing family. Two friends pooling their resources to make their first investment possible. A couple navigating a divorce and the sale of their home. A refugee family with limited English setting down roots in this country. Deaf investors looking to maximize profit on their flip.  A couple selling the home of their daughter who has lost her battle to cancer. A family relocating from across the country and buying sight-unseen.  These situations all require unique, dynamic, and holistic approaches. Everyone has different needs, and it is my top priority to meet my clients where they are. For me, real estate is not transactional. It is deeply personal and inevitably life-changing. While each client requires a tailored strategy, my work ethic is unwavering. With me you can always expect organization, tenacity, responsiveness, dedication, and hustle. A gatherer of resources, a communicator of all options and possible outcomes. As your advocate, I will be brutally honest so you know what to expect. A skilled negotiator, I’ll consider every angle with your dreams and goals in mind. My clients often end up feeling like family. I am honored they trust me enough to return to me as their needs change and refer me to their friends, family, and communities. What are your real estate goals and dreams? Call or text me so we can meet to discuss your vision.   Curious about the home-buying process in Portland? Click here to sign up for one of my free The How To Buy A House Classâ„¢ classes!
