After helping Colette and Thomas with the successful sale of their NW condo a few years ago, their new hunt began—a bigger home for their expanding family, a house that Thomas could work on (he has excellent building and carpentry skills), and a location close to their current home in the St John’s neighborhood.
They looked for quite a while, until one day, a major fixer hit the market. The home needed EVERYTHING, it had sat unheated and unattended for several years. But, the property was located right across the street from their current home. Bingo! It checked all the boxes, even though it was potentially more work than they wanted to take on.
We went for it, and unfortunately they were out bid.
But…. THANK GOODNESS! Because the home that Thomas and Colette are moving into is a big, beautiful, elegant house built in 1923, with an amazing view……….in Salem.
Yes, a big turn of events! And, no one was more surprised about it than Thomas and Colette. She grew up in that very neighborhood, and did not have plans to move back there. But, on a Saturday, on a whim, they drove to an open house for this home and fell in love!
After Colette and Thomas decided that this was the right move for them, things moved pretty quickly. Their offer was accepted, the house was deemed to be in great shape, we flexed our negotiation skills 
and there was a happy ending for everyone.
It felt good to go the extra mile (literally-to Salem) for this wonderful family and help them fulfill their dreams.
