CHANGING GEARS…         

By Drew Burchette, April 10, 2020

I got a call from the parents of a friend a few years ago. They were moving here from out of state to be closer to the grandkids. The plan was to move about an hour from Portland to a modular home park that was affordable. That is not my area of expertise so I referred them out, but I gave my two cents that mobile homes are not a good investment. I could actually argue that they are no more of an investment than a car or an RV. The financing looks a lot more automotive than home loan.

They moved forward with that plan, then a got a call earlier this year…it was time to move into a real house. We looked high and low around Tigard, Beaverton and SW Portland for a one-level in decent condition and at a reasonable price point. Those homes are popular for sure! Almost all of them got multiple offers. They settled on a house in a 55+ community that has a great club house and other amenities.

Downsizing is fun and it is always great to be near family!

I arrived in the real estate business over a decade ago and have since helped scores of people buy and sell their homes. The groundswell that I created in my practice is rooted in the relationships that I have nurtured over the years. My style is educational, and I see myself as the coach and leader of your real estate transaction. My coaching is geared towards empowering you to make informed decisions that will lead to your best possible outcome. I excel at asking the questions that get to the heart of the matter which in turn enables a smooth sale process. Away from the office I am passionate about so many things, but it all begins and ends with my family. My boys are both in elementary school and parenting is an ongoing challenge and joy for my wife and I. We love to travel around Oregon, the East Coast, Mexico and beyond. My passion for surfing, kiteboarding, and fishing help to keep me grounded in life. Read more reviews
