First-Time Home Buyers!! Making it Happen!!
I’m so impressed with Lily and Jessi! They were great to work with from day one. And, I know you hear me gush about how great my referrals are, a lot! But, hey, it’s true! Jasmine and I were very lucky to have met them and worked with them. They are two of the kindest people I’ve met.
Lily and Jessi were looking for a great starter home as well as something close to Lily’s parent’s house in NE Portland. We weren’t sure if we were going to be able to find something within their price range within blocks of her parent’s house. The market has been nuts and cute, well-maintained houses like this one have been flying off the shelf. On this one, I’m going to say we got it because we had very strong terms plus fantastic communication with the listing agent, right off the bat. And as it goes sometimes, we had big hurdles to overcome during the transaction and again, it was a great communication that kept it all together and pleasant for everyone involved.
I am so happy for Lily and Jessi!! This house is darling and in the perfect location to put down roots.
Cheers!
