One and DONE!

By Jessica Ward, February 14, 2022

As many of us know the market in the Portland metro can be a bit hectic for buyers. Fortunately, when your able to dial in with your realtor on specific needs in conjunction with a timeline that can ease much of the stress and pressure of the market.
CONGRATULATIONS again to my wonderful clients- The Mejias on closing their first home!
They were open, upfront and honest with me about their needs/wants. With active listening and clear communication we were off to the races together.

In just ONE short week we were able to find the perfect home, put an offer in and have it accepted! Yes, the market does move fast, which is why it pays to be properly prepared and have quick feet so to speak.
