First Time Buyers, First Offer, First of Many Memories to Come!

By Ella Gray, October 7, 2020

 

This is one of the more dreamy stories…Alexia & Luke were a referral from another agent, the impeccable Scott Shoji. It is beyond an honor when another agent calls you up to refer business…the sheer amount of trust that goes in this process is hard-won.

Like many out-of-town buyers, Alexia and Luke had been searching Portland listings for a while from the comfort of home in California. When this end-unit townhome that backs to Fanno Creek walking trails popped up, they immediately put the wheels in motion.

We were in a multiple offer situation, but Alexia & Luke were great communicators, asked great questions, and ultimately trusted the process with the competitive price and terms we wrote. So for their very first offer ever on their very first house ever, they won a multiple offer situation!

 

CONGRATULATIONS, ALEXIA & LUKE! I wish you many happy years here!

Hi! I'm Ella Gray, a seasoned real estate agent with roots as diverse as my experience:
  • Born in Nashville, TN, and raised in the suburbs of Atlanta & Athens, GA (Go Dawgs!)
  • I spent my 20s in Los Angeles building a career in Advertising/Producing
  • My early-mid 30s were spent navigating the energy of New York City and working for worldwide acclaimed ad agencies
  • Since 2016, I've been happily rooted in Portland, Oregon, bringing my love of city life and community to every transaction.
  • With a career in real estate since 2017, I combine local insight with a wealth of experience, helping my clients sell and find their perfect home in Portland's unique market
When I’m not touring houses or prepping listings, you'll find me:
  • chasing kiddos around a soccer field
  • volunteering at my local elementary school
  • learning/playing piano (modeling for the kids!)
  • socializing, attending, and hosting occasions of all kinds
Most of my business comes from repeat and referrals - if you're finding me "in the wild", please call, text, and/or email and see if we're a fit to work together! In gratitude,
Ella
