One of our favorite real estate “niches” is helping new doctors purchase homes when they move to Portland to start their residency. We usually get a call around March 16th which is the day after “matching day” when fourth year med students learn where they will serve their residency. After the initial “woo hoos” and high-fives, their attention quickly turns to figuring out how to pack up their life and report to a new town and new job by June 1st. For the especially savvy, this includes purchasing a home, and that’s where we come in!
When Carley and Cory called us to tell us they were moving to Portland for Carley’s residency and wanted to buy house, we got to work right away. We referred them to several lenders that specialized in home loans for physicians. We spend time via Zoom discussing the Portland housing market and the home buyer process in general. Then, Cory and Carley came to Portland for an epic weekend tour of homes! We had done enough preparation in advance that when they found “the one,” they were able to make their offer sweet enough to seal the deal!
Tuesday was move in day and it was joyous — hard to believe that it was less than three months from start to finish. We are so happy for Cory and Carley. We know their Portland years are going to be special, and Portland will be a better place because they are here!
Are you a physician looking to purchase a home in the Portland area? We can help you even if you’re not physically in Portland. Call us!
