The Difference is Night and Day

By Natalie Tracy, May 17, 2019

I met Talia at an open house a couple months ago – she and Chaise were starting the search for their first home, and they hadn’t yet found the right REALTOR®. We hit it off immediately, and scheduled a time for the three of us to meet for coffee. It was a love connection all around, so we were off and running!

Talia and Chaise were so focused and so on it every step of the way – they knew what they wanted, and they knew where they wanted it and when. We had one false start, and then a house that hadn’t seemed right the first time through got a second look. The first showing had been at night, the second was in the light of day. And what a difference a day made. Suddenly, they could imagine themselves making it their own. They wanted a ranch. Check. They wanted a nice yard. Check. They wanted walking distance to cool retail. Check. And like all buyers, they wanted it in their price range. Check!

With equal doses of calm and humor, Talia and Chaise sailed through inspections, negotiations, and loan approval like they’d done it all a hundred times. There’s definitely something to be said for having a goal and sticking to it!

And now, this adorable ranch is all theirs. They’re already embarking on a whole list of projects, and I can’t wait to see the finished product. Well done, you two!

I purchased my first Portland fixer 17 years ago, and was immediately hooked on Portland homes and neighborhoods. I bring that passion to helping my clients buy and sell their own perfectly Portland homes! I pride myself on meeting every client exactly where you are - whether you’re a first time buyer, a seller looking for more room, or anywhere in between, I’m here to help. I listen to your needs, and take the time and patience to create a stress-free process for you. I’m licensed in Oregon and Washington, so if you’re on the fence, I can help you in Portland and Vancouver. I’m also fluent in American Sign Language, and have been involved with the local Deaf community for more than 15 years. I ensure all of my clients feel informed and involved throughout the entire process, and I genuinely love what I get to do everyday. Drop me a text or give me a call - I’d love to buy you coffee/tea and chat about how I can help you!
