Bungalow Dreams in South Burlingame

By Sally Tansill, March 19, 2020

Sam and Scott have been amazing neighbors to my family since they moved to Portland in 2018.  Scott arrived from Amsterdam to find them a rental house and Sam arrived 6 months later with their 2 month old daughter.  Over the past 2 years we have shared pot luck dinners, playdates. soccer games and more.  They were debating whether or not to buy a home and once they sold their apartment in the Netherlands they decided to take the plunge.  I was incredibly flattered when they approached me and asked for my help in their search.

British natives, their list of list of “wants” included a proper American front porch, a big yard and good proximity to schools. We started our search and within a few days a house came to market in South Burlingame that seemed to check all of the boxes.  The house had the porch, a big yard, tree house, proximity to schools and is near the charming Multnomah Village.

Scott came with me to look as Sam was in England and we decided to made a quick and solid offer hoping to quiet the competition. In the midst of our post-offer purgatory, I received a call from the listing agent letting us know that the house needed a new roof. After some conversation with all sides we decided that we still wanted to move forward, but had to wait until half and hour before the offer expired to find out it was accepted.  Through some calm negotiation and fact driven discovery we negotiated the necessary credits and have had a smooth transaction since the repair period ended.

It was such a pleasure to work with these cool clients (literally and figuratively) as they made working on their behalf an absolute pleasure.
