SOLD // Simplifying in SE Portland!

By Olivia Rush, December 9, 2024

Congratulations Morgan and Mackenzie!!!

M+M are yes people. They take on a lot and actually execute all of it, flawlessly and on time. The kind of duo who make me cock my head and think, “How the-?!”

During COVID, they relocated to Oregon and started their homesteading era in a large house on a large property. It was dreamy – and a lot of work.

After nearly 5 years in the country, they were tired and ready to simplify. Move back into the city, closer to their community. Spend more time on creative pursuits and less time on chores and maintenance. Slow their roll.

But old habits die hard. A grand old foursquare fixer oozing with charm (and a wild history to boot) caught their eye, and the wheels started turning. We threw in an offer and it was off to the races!

Midway through the inspection period, reality began sinking in. Their gut-check brought their *why* clearly into focus. The whole point was to simplify, not sign up for another project!

So, we pivoted. Logistics and time constraints were breathing down our necks. Fortunately, M+M are women of action. Within 2 days, we were pending again – this time, on a sweet Cape Cod in Richmond. She was a sight for sore eyes and a salve for the weary soul.

This house knew what they needed. Inspections went SO well for 1942 home, further confirming that *this must be the place* feeling.

We closed on their new home 2 days after selling their country property. The destination certainly justified the 6-month harrowing journey on this one. It was a long road, expect-the-unexpected the whole way, but I think blood pressures have finally returned to baseline.

I am so excited for this next phase for M+M (and Aiden and Griffon, and the cat, and the bunnies…) This was our third transaction together. I’m so honored to be a part of their journey over the years, and grateful for the rapport, trust, and humor that comes with repeat clients.

CHEERS Y’ALL!
