A Home Blessed with Love

By Olivia Rush, August 23, 2021

Congratulations to my clients and dear friends, Lee and Danny, on the successful sale of their home in Foster-Powell!

I am fortunate to know Lee and Danny through my friend and their daughter, Lisa. Lisa was pure magic – her outer beauty was exceeded only by her warmth and generosity. Her philosophy was “the more the merrier;” around her, everyone was welcome. When Lee and Danny helped Lisa purchase this home new in 2012, it quickly became a central gathering place for costume parties, iron chef competitions, and backyard BBQs, with friends and family constantly coming and going.

Heartbreakingly, we lost our lovely Lisa to a hard-fought battle with cancer in 2015. At 34 years young, her loss was incomprehensible and devastating to her family and community.

Lee and Danny kept the house and have used it as home base during their frequent visits to Portland. Over the years, they’ve carried on Lisa’s legacy of connection and togetherness, continuing to host gatherings and becoming as integral a part of our Portland community as Lisa was. They never rented it out, but rather offered it to friends and family during times of transition or need over the years. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree; it is obvious how Lisa cultivated her spirit of giving.

After six years, it is time for a new family to make their own memories here. Lee and Danny hope the home is a place of comfort, joy, and love for its new owners, as it was for them and their beloved Lisa.

 

In loving memory of Lisa Danielle Moulding

As your trusted guide through the buying or selling process, you can expect me to customize my services to your specific goals and preferences, much like I did for my students during my ten years as an educator. My clients’ goals vary. A couple retiring to the Big City after 30 years on 22 acres. A woman purchasing her first home independently. A couple upsizing to support a growing family. Two friends pooling their resources to make their first investment possible. A couple navigating a divorce and the sale of their home. A refugee family with limited English setting down roots in this country. Deaf investors looking to maximize profit on their flip.  A couple selling the home of their daughter who has lost her battle to cancer. A family relocating from across the country and buying sight-unseen.  These situations all require unique, dynamic, and holistic approaches. Everyone has different needs, and it is my top priority to meet my clients where they are. For me, real estate is not transactional. It is deeply personal and inevitably life-changing. While each client requires a tailored strategy, my work ethic is unwavering. With me you can always expect organization, tenacity, responsiveness, dedication, and hustle. A gatherer of resources, a communicator of all options and possible outcomes. As your advocate, I will be brutally honest so you know what to expect. A skilled negotiator, I’ll consider every angle with your dreams and goals in mind. My clients often end up feeling like family. I am honored they trust me enough to return to me as their needs change and refer me to their friends, family, and communities. What are your real estate goals and dreams? Call or text me so we can meet to discuss your vision.   Curious about the home-buying process in Portland? Click here to sign up for one of my free The How To Buy A House Class™ classes!
