Shakira’s new digs in NE Portland!

By Nicole Chavira, July 28, 2024

Our journey began when we first met at one of my open houses where I got the pleasure of meeting Natalie and her pup Shakira! We hit it off and I knew I wanted to become her trusted real estate professional and answer more of her home buying questions.

We kept in touch and she introduced me to her husband Steve when they attended one of my “First Time Home Buyer” classes, co-hosted with Cat Jerger at Guild Mortgage. We gave them education and confidence to take the next steps and applied for a mortgage loan.

Soon after they were pre-approved, we had our one-on-one buyer consult over zoom, set them up on a personalized home search and hit the pavement on a very enjoyable home search!

We even had some time to bring in a few of my trusted contractors to give them remodeling tips and bids to assist them in their decision making.

They found an amazing home to put an offer in on and we got it for $10k under the listing price AND got the seller to agree to pay the full $24k HOA special assessment that was due! The cherry on top is when their appraisal came back above their purchase price!

When I tell you that I continuously hit the jackpot when it comes to having the best clients that turn into friends, they are a prime example!

I have even had the joy of receiving remodeling updates from them since their closing day. I can’t wait for the invite when they are ready to showcase their hard work.

Steve and Natalie, I know you will turn the house into a home with the love you have for one another, the love you are putting into your new pad and the love you give to others.

Thank you for trusting me on your successful path to homeownership!

Also a special shout out to Jessie Hammons at WFG National Title for all her hard work!
