Nancy and Terry recently lost their home in the California wildfires. I can’t imagine going through what they went through! In putting the pieces of their life back together they made a decision: they were going to move to the Portland area to be closer to their daughter. When they reached out to me, we discussed what they were looking for. They wanted a one level home on a nice piece of property. They didn’t want to feel like they were in the middle of the city. We all decided that Milwaukie sounded like a great fit for them and got to work looking at houses.
A couple of weeks into our search, the unthinkable happened: Milwaukie was under Level 1 orders to evacuate due to the Riverside Fire. Smoke filled the air all around us. And yet, somehow, the perfect home came on the market despite the circumstances. It was spacious, comfortable, and on the big piece of property that Nancy and Terry wanted. Best of all, it was within budget! I donned multiple masks to protect myself from the smoke and we toured the home. Nancy and Terry were immediately love and wrote an offer! The seller, who had built the home custom and was the original owner, connected with their story and accepted. We were all over the moon!
I am so pleased to have been able to help Nancy and Terry find a new home after such a terrible experience. I wish them many years of happiness in Milwaukie!
