Blog Buyer The Texas Two Step

The Texas Two Step

By Marissa Sainz, June 9, 2020

Another quarantine close for the books! Imagine moving the middle of a pandemic. Well that’s exactly what my buyers had to do, moving back to Portland all the way from Austin, Texas! But I’ve never been more thankful for all my experience in the industry and for technology that allows us to communicate closely and consistently in such an uncertain time. My buyers enjoyed a smooth transaction process and are now moving into this stunning Lake Oswego Remodel—4 bedrooms, 4 bath, complete with Brazilian teak floors and gorgeous high-end features including a chef’s kitchen.

What a score! We were able to close quickly on this home despite the long-distance and pandemic measures. Even with all of the uncertainty of COVID, I’ve been finding that the real estate process hasn’t been affected too much. It’s very possible to conduct the search for your future home safely and quickly. Great communication and an experienced agent are key! A huge congrats to my clients on their beautiful new home!
