Selling a rental property can be challenging. Tenants need lead time to find a new place and sellers and buyers need to be prepared for a transaction that may take longer than the typical 30-45 days. So, I would like to congratulate my seller Darrell, as well as the buyers, on the successful close of a lovely house in NE Portland. Happy seller, happy buyer…that’s what we want when all is said and done!

Life doesn’t always go the way you expect it to, but when life sent my clients a curveball, they hit it out of the park. This sweet house, with ADU potential, fills a need that they didn’t anticipate having but are meeting with practicality and even excitement.

It was an honor to work with you and I wish you the very best of luck as you create your new life in your new neighborhood!

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m addicted to basketball. I love going to games. I’ll go to local high school games and I’ll go out of town to March Madness games. I talk basketball with my buyers, sellers, family, friends and strangers. And I brag – I can’t help it – about my son Lamar, a high school senior who is playing in this week’s Geico National High School Championship in Florida, for AZ Compass Prep out of Arizona. He’ll be going to Texas Tech next year to play college ball. His hard work and perseverance are paying off and I couldn’t be more proud of him. Give me a call if you want to talk real estate, basketball or both!
The potential in this 1937 Tudor was apparent to at least 4 buyers, who presented offers within days of the house going on the market. The house last sold in 1957 and retains much of its original character, but it does need a lot of work. The seller wanted the house to go to someone who wants to live in the neighborhood, rather than an investor, and that wish came true. I’d like to congratulate my seller on his quick transaction and wish the buyer many happy years in their new home!

I just want to congratulate my longtime client Linda on the quick sale of her 4 bedroom Montavilla home. This home was a rare find – a true 4 bedroom with commercial mixed use zoning, meaning you can run a small business from the home. Linda is the amazing single mom of triplet college-bound young women, who will be starting the next phase of her life in her new home in Vancouver. As always Linda, I wish you well and look forward to seeing you in your new home!
Congratulations Roslyn on your purchase of this cute commercial building in the St. Johns neighborhood. It’s always a pleasure doing business with you and I look forward to working with you on your next project!
Congratulations to my client, Dennis, for the quick sale of his beautiful Alameda home! Dennis renovated this home while living in it, which is never an easy thing to do, and the result is beautiful. Always a pleasure working with you Dennis!
A heartfelt congratulations to my longtime client, Dennis, on the purchase of your new Alameda neighborhood home. This isn’t an easy market for buyers, but you hung in there and found this beautifully restored Mid-Century Modern home, in a perfect and convenient location for someone who is downsizing. I’m looking forward to seeing the personal touches that you will add to this beautiful home and I wish you many happy years here!
We are seeing a lot of this recently – homes selling within days of coming on the market. This great Concordia daylight ranch was no exception. I would like to congratulate my sellers Rachel and Kenneth, and the buyer as well, and I wish them all the best in their new endeavors! And hang in there everyone. That beautiful blue sky will be back!
If you are currently a buyer in the Portland area, you know that homes are selling fast and often with multiple offers. This Roseway cutie was no exception. Before I could write a blog about the new listing (3 bedrooms, 1 bath, full unfinished basement, 2000 sf), the seller had accepted an offer, over the asking price of $479,900. The deal will close tomorrow, so I just want to wish my seller, Jessica, the best of luck in her new life out in the Columbia River Gorge!
