It all started with a Facebook post:
Thus producing 36 comments presenting 21 agent referrals. We met with Bria & Andrew and had our first interview and immediately wanted to be the chosen ones mainly so that we could all hang out together more. We knew that Bria & Andrew had narrowed their choice down to 3 top REALTORS®. When we got the news a couple weeks later, “You won the REALTOR® lottery!” we couldn’t have agreed more with the feeling that we received knowing that we were the chosen ones that got to work with such an exceptional couple (If anyone needs an amazing photographer, we will have Bria’s info below!).
Our time with Andrew & Bria quickly turned into one celebration after another. We soon were introduced to Andrew’s amazing mother Suzi who we were blown away with in regards to her class and wisdom. Then we all got to work in finding Andrew & Bria’s new home sweet home.
Bria & Andrew are both very successful Airbnb hosts and wanted to find a home with walk-ability and ADU potential. They did a lot of their homework, so we narrowed their home search down and hit the road viewing homes. Within a couple weeks we put in an offer and was competing against 7 other offers on a beautiful craftsman in the Overlook neighborhood. We got the unfortunate news that we were not in first position, but Andrew & Bria used that experience to their advantage and immediately moved on to another home. A home that they could envision using their amazing skills to craft their own culture where they would make their boutique Airbnb come alive. We came together and strategized on an offer that got them into contract on a hidden gem, a mid-century modern house in SE Portland.
Once in contract and through inspections, we diligently got contractors in to give us bids on what items were essential to moving the deal forward. Once we received those bids, Andrew & Bria were very calculative in presenting the seller a price reduction amount that it would take to move the deal along. Everything with these two is very logical and level headed which we really appreciate in working with them. This attribute is one of the biggest reasons why they were able to get the price reduction that they did, because we had the facts to substantiate the request. Another celebration commenced over a shared love of authentic bubble tea at Bambū Desserts & Drinks, a quick 5 minutes from their home!
Andrew & Bria we are so excited for you both and Suzi it was so wonderful to get to know you more over the past month. We are so proud to be your REALTORS® and friends, and we’re so happy that Thistle & Sadé Bloom can be playmates.
