In the field of real estate we make connections in so many different ways—our clients come from all walks of life.
Some people refer their family members, sometimes a client is an old friend from the ultimate frisbee days, occasionally someone sees your bio and decides you’re just the right fit for them. It truly feels like a web of life and different threads pull us together to help each other in all kinds of ways.
Steven and Sascha were a referral from Amanda Nove-Pocha, of Strange Powers Salon, who has been keeping me looking my best for more than 10 years. And, in return, I have been telling her all the great tales of Portland Real estate while she cuts my hair. Steven recently became Amanda’s brother in law, and she kindly put her trust in me to help this new family member find a home.
Steven and his partner, Sascha, have been living outside of LA, and decided to make the move to Portland to be closer to family, clean air, and all the wonderful outdoor activities Oregon has to offer.
Sasha and Steven and are both passionate about their careers. Sasha has been working in museums for over 10 years and Steven works remotely as a software engineer. In their leisure time, they enjoy camping, bike riding, and being outdoors whenever weather permits. When indoors, Sasha can be found drawing and painting, while Steven plays the piano. Their two dogs, Bruce and Winston are each 8 years old and are always by their side.
So, what these two really wanted in a home was an art space for Sascha, a office/gaming haven for Steven, a fenced back yard for their two lovely dogs—and the house had to have style!
Apparently, they have great taste in homes, because they got beat out on house after house—it was a wild time in the market!
But, as often happens, Sascha and Steven would up being so glad to have missed out on the previous homes, because the house that they now call home was their favorite by far!
The seller was a custom woodworker, so there were beautiful handmade wood built-ins throughout the home. This house was so different from any of the other homes that they had put offers in on. It even has a catio big enough for five cats! Perhaps, Bruce and Winston will have some new friends? And, best of all, this home is closer to Steven’s brother’s house than any of the previous homes he hoped to make his own.
Congratulations on your new home, Steven and Sascha! Welcome to Oregon!
