A Home they Deserve in West Portland Park.

Meet Pete and Michele. They are fantastic people and I was lucky enough to help them find their first home for themselves. They have owned rentals before, but this one would be all theirs. It had to be just right.

Over the course of two months we looked and a lot of homes. It was good fun, but we weren’t finding anything that fit their needs. Some might say they were searching for a unicorn: close in SW, 3 beds, 2 baths with an open layout, nice sized yard, decent sized bedrooms, 2 car garage, certain price point. Ok, a rainbow unicorn.

Then one evening a new listing came up and I knew we had to see it immediately. It was a bit newer than some of the homes we had seen and had the traditional open layout they were looking for. Situated on a nice quiet street in the West Portland Park area, this home had even more space than they could have imagined – 4 generous bedrooms, a huge master bath with walk-in closet, a formal dining room and a space in the family room big enough for their massive TV! Plus, a nice yard for their dog, Cosmo. I had a good feeling about this one.

We saw the home the next day and things started to change for Pete and Michelle. I’ll never forget Pete’s words, “I don’t know if I deserve to live in a house like this.” That was all I needed to hear to know this was the one.

Pete and Michelle made a strong offer the next day and it was accepted! Everything happened very fast – I think they were still in shock on inspection day. The appraisal came in above value, ahead of schedule. Repairs were negotiated. We closed a week early. Unheard of right?

Sometimes, when you work with people like Pete and Michele, everything lines up just as it should…with a home they deserve to live in.
