REAL ESTATE NEWS: GUTTERS

Posted on November 16, 2024 by Aryne + Dulcinea

GUTTERS

IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO CLEAN ‘EM

In the Pacific NW, we are always battling water when it comes to keeping our homes from intrusion, rot, and mold. As soon as water hits our roof, it has to go somewhere. Keeping your gutters clean to allow water to easily flow into the downspout is crucial. Ensure water either goes into the sewer drain or is whisked 6 feet away from the building. Overflowing gutters can lead to water pooling up around the base of your home.

Check the your grade of your yard. It should slope away from the house, and consider a dry well or bioswale. In the meantime, do you need your gutters cleaned? Here are a few companies that have worked well for our clients.

REAL ESTATE NEWS: WHAT BUYERS NEED

Posted on October 3, 2024 by Aryne + Dulcinea

….RELIEF

It hasn’t been the easiest time to be a buyer. Buyers have been facing high rates, low inventory, new commission structures, and houses that need lots of repairs. In the end, it all adds up to $$$! What buyers need is a bit of relief. And when a brave buyer takes the plunge with a house, the hardest day of the transaction is often the home inspection day. This is often the day when the $$$ needed to move forward on a home seems insurmountable. Having a great buyer’s agent on your side to walk you through negotiating with the Seller is critical. Agents can end up saving you thousands of dollars in the end with great professionalism and negotiation strategies. And really what is it that a Buyer wants? A new place to call home. If you are ready to take the plunge and buy a house, contact us today.

Yascha Noonberg, Principal Broker – Living Room Realty

Consistently featured as one of the Top 50 Brokers in Portland.

“Yascha is absolutely an asset, not only to his clients, but his industry as a whole as an example of how REALTORS® should strive to conduct business.” —Past client

I was fortunate enough to move to Portland in the 90s after growing up in Maryland and then attending college in Texas.

My professional life started with owning and operating a music school and recording studio in SE Portland.

Eventually I was drawn to real estate both as an investor and subsequently as a consultant to homebuyers and sellers as well as fellow real estate investors.

My family and I have lived on both sides of the river, and we spend a lot of our down time at the coast in Manzanita.

My real estate business and family keep me very busy but whenever possible I get out on the courts to compete in tennis leagues and tournaments, and I recently started playing Pickleball. I also mix in the occasional gig or young audiences performance with local jazz group Trashcan Joe.

REPAIR INSTEAD OF REPLACE

Posted on August 3, 2022July 26, 2022 by Aryne + Dulcinea

You know how we are so good at REDUCE * REUSE * RECYCLE? We recommend adding a 4th…REPAIR.

In our busy lives, it is much easier when something breaks to discard it and go get a new one. But if we could fix it first, we may save ourselves and our planet a great deal. Below are some of our favorite repair shops and youtube sites for repair what you own instead of buying a new one!

COMMUNITY CYCLING CENTER

JD’s SHOE REPAIR

A-APLIANCE REPAIR SERVICE

ALADDIN FURNITURE REPAIR

A1 ALTERATION STATION/ CLOTHING REPAIR

And of course if something at your home goes wrong and you need help with repairs, please call or text us and we will help you with getting the right repair person immediately!

KENDALL STEELE, ART SHOW

Posted on August 3, 2022July 26, 2022 by Aryne + Dulcinea

Join Aryne + Dulcinea as they welcome the new art of Kendall Steele. Kendall is a long time Portland resident who teaches and makes art locally. Stop by and say hi! The show will be available until the end of September at our northeast Living Room Office at 1401 NE Alberta Street.

Kendall’s work documents her fascination with the colors, patterns, and textures found in nature and her love of stories, particularly myths, fairy tales, and other fantastical narratives that point our consciousness towards what is beyond the visible world.

Working in pastel allows her to be nimble. Ideas can be worked into an existing composition spontaneously. Details can be purposefully vague or carefully articulated. Color and texture are easily transformed. Ideally in the end, the finished piece has not been transcribed from an original idea, it has evolved.

BERRY PICKING ON SAUVIE ISLAND

STONE FRUIT TREATS

Posted on July 20, 2022July 13, 2022 by Aryne + Dulcinea

Stone fruits are a tasty and healthy treat during the summer and they usually grow in bounty. Need some ideas for those bushels of stone fruits? How about a classic peach pie? Maybe a cherry and almond milk ice pop for dairy free friends? Super summer plum syrup you can add to iced drinks all summer long? Bring these out the next time you are with friends or give your neighbors an unexpected gift from your kitchen!

NO AC? BEST WAYS TO KEEP YOUR HOUSE COOL IN HOT WEATHER

Posted on July 13, 2022 by Aryne + Dulcinea

Like last summer, we may need to get creative about how we keep cool this summer, try these old school, no ac ideas and keep it cool in your house.

1. Keep blinds, windows, and doors closed during the day

2. Adjust your ceiling fans if they are rotating clockwise (counter-clockwise actually moves air around better)

3. Place a shallow bowl of ice water in front of your standing fans

4. Open as many windows and doors in the evening as possible

5. Close off hotter sections of your house by putting up heavy cloths, or blankets. (We know…not so pretty, but it can really keep out the heat).

A REAL ESTATE NAP…?

Posted on July 7, 2022 by Aryne + Dulcinea

Folks are often surprised to hear that July can be a quiet time for real estate. Spring is chock full of new listings, open houses, offer writing and inspections. The 4th of July holiday is the official start of summer fun. Typically, we pause our listing schedule on June 30, and pick it back up in mid to late July. This schedule gives folks time to go on vacation, hit the music festivals and entertain out of towners. Early July is not the only nap time of the year, the end of August can be slow too. If you are considering selling a property, reach out to us and we will discuss the hottest times of the year to list your home – we bet you’ll be surprised!

PDX FOOD PLANTING GUIDE

Love Letter Guidance

Posted on March 25, 2022April 7, 2022 by Aryne + Dulcinea

While our clients have had wonderful luck with offer acceptance writing letters to sellers, we understand why this practice is unfair and violates fair housing. This excerpt below is from oregonrealtors.org:

“On March 3, 2022, the US District Court for the District of Oregon put an injunction on the enforcement of Oregon’s new law requiring seller’s agents to reject “Love Letters” from buyers. While the injunction is in place, the Oregon Real Estate Agency will not be enforcing the law and Oregon real estate licensees are not required to follow it.

However, regardless of the new law, Love Letters continue to present risks related to Fair Housing violations. If a seller were to select or reject a buyer based on the buyer’s protected class information revealed in a love letter, that would be a violation of fair housing laws…The best way to mitigate the risk is to not use love letters in the first place.”

Why We Love Portland – Amenities Galore!

Posted on February 23, 2022 by Aryne + Dulcinea

This month, we continue to showcase great things about our city and share them with you because Portland has so much to celebrate! There are so many things we love here and so much more to learn about. This week, we researched Portland’s amenities:

Amenities Galore!

“In property and land use planning, amenity is something considered to benefit a location, contribute to its enjoyment, and thereby increase its value.” Thanks Wikipedia for that great definition and we agree! When choosing a place to live, you are scrutinizing the actual property, but what about the amenities?

There are three levels of amenities to consider when purchasing your new place to live:

The property amenities (especially apropos if you are buying a condo),
The neighborhood amenities, and
Portland’s amenities.

Property amenities could include a pool, gardens, concierge, or fitness room for example (once again, this is something you look for in a condo, but certainly can add to your own property).

Neighborhood amenities are things like cafes, shops, restaurants, parks, gardens, fitness spaces, and salons.

Finally, Portland has amenities, too! We have tremendous access to nature: Mt. Hood for skiing and hiking, the high desert of Central Oregon, farms to visit, the waterfalls and hikes in the gorge, rivers for fishing and swimming, and then there is the amazing Pacific Ocean!

Below are some of our more natural amenities to enjoy!

There are over 200 parks and public gardens in the city of Portland. The park acreage alone is 11,670 acres!

Hikes: 194
There are 194 listed trails near the Portland metro

Waterfalls: 236
142 in Clackamas County
69 in Multnomah County
25 in Washington County

Community Gardens: 58
There are 58 community gardens located in the city of Portland

Farms:
144 food farms near Portland
13 you-cut Christmas tree farms near Portland
5 you-pick flower farms near Portland

Need a quick day trip idea? Reach out to us, we have several to share with you!
