Blog Stories Boots on the Ground!

Boots on the Ground!

By Erika George & Kari McGee, January 16, 2020

We often tell the heart warming stories of our “beat-up” buyers who, with grit, fortitude and time, finally close on a wonderful new home that was just meant to be. This time, we’re going to talk about the opposite (except for the ‘meant to be’ part)! You’d be surprised by how often this actually happens…

Our out of state clients, Don and Nancy, just closed on a fabulous unit at the Strand Condominiums on SW River Dr. It took a mere 38 days to complete the cycle from their first (and only) viewing of the unit, to picking up those keys! And that was with a few pesky holidays sprinkled in.

We pride ourselves on superior service for our out-of-area “armchair” buyers. With tools like our detailed property videos, computer screen sharing meetings, conference calls, and FaceTime meetings with inspectors, you can do some serious buyer due diligence from the comfort of your current location whether it be Texas or Tajikistan. All you need are our boots on the Portland ground!

Looking for your perfect Portland Pad but need to do it from the comfort of your out-of-area armchair? We’ve got some damn fine boots (and the ground)!
