Just Sold! Bountiful Beginnings in Beaverton

Matthew and Jonathan have been the best of clients throughout the entire process of buying their first home. As we all know, the market in the Portland area favors the sellers.

Just Sold! Brand New Build in Bethany!

I wish it was possible to bottle-up the ecstatic feeling that buying your first home brings. My clients Stephane and Kim just found out exactly what that feels like!

Celebrating closing on a new home is such an exciting feeling. There’s so much potential, so much to look forward to. It’s a chance to create new memories and imbue who you are into a space. That’s exactly what my clients, Chad and Ashley, were looking for. They’d been working/living in England but  eagerly awaited a return stateside to friends and family. Their fantastic mid-century masterpiece sits on an oversized lot in the Raleigh Hills neighborhood. Chad and Ashley loved the tranquility they felt when they walked in. It’s a space built for openness and community from a roomy kitchen to spacious living and dining areas. And of course, their gorgeous backyard deck will be a perfect place to be as the weather gets warmer! I’m so happy to welcome Chad and Ashley back to the Portland Area, and look forward to them creating many happy memories in their new home. Congratulations to all!

S O L D – Peaceful Southwest Haven

Pending in 2 days!

This gorgeous 150sqft attached home sold quick! The seller, Marisa, had updated the home a few years ago and kept it very well maintained. She loved living in this home but was ready to buy her “move-up” house with her fiance Danny.

Marisa and Danny were fantastic sellers to work with. They gave me a virtual walk-through of the home and a list of upgrades they had done so I could provide them with the most accurate pricing, staging, and repair recommendations. They also knew what their budget would be for touch ups and pre-listing prep.

Importance of Listing Prep, Photos, & Video

I brought in a team of staging consultants who were able to work virtually. They are professional interior designers who were able to look at photos of the home and provide Marisa and Danny recommendations for furniture placement and design choices. Marisa and Danny dived right in, spruced up their home, and collaborated with the designers so when photography day came around, the house was sparkling clean and perfectly staged to show off its features.

The photos, video, 3-D tour, and floorplan came out great! With the coronavirus affecting everyone, it is extra important to show every inch of the house in as many ways as possible. When buyers have a floorplan, 3-D tour, as well as great photos and video, they are able to see if a home might be the right fit for them, before even stepping in the door.

Virtual Open House and Social Media

One powerful new thing I have added to my marketing tool belt is the ‘virtual open house.’ I set a specific time to do a video tour the home while streaming live on Facebook. This gives buyers and agents the chance to see a “hosted” walk-through of the home while being able to ask questions in real time. It also leaves me with a recorded video tour of the home which I can share with other agents and interested buyers. It’s lo-fi compared to the 2 minute professional video I’ve hired a pro to make, but it makes taking a live tour of the home more accessible. Many buyers like that the longer-format tour as well because I will talk about the upgrades and features of the home as I walk through it. Here is the link to the virtual open for Marisa’s lovely home. 

Pending in 2 days!

All of their hard work preparing the home to look its best, paid off! We received a great offer on the first day, and more came in the second day. They ended up with a solid over-asking offer with favorable terms, and a second very similar offer in back-up. They just closed today, and negotiated an extra two weeks in the home to do a bit of work on their new place (closing tomorrow) before they move!

Congrats Marisa and Danny!

Just Sold: Southwest Views!

After helping my client purchase her home a few years ago, I was honored when she recently asked me to assist her in purchasing another condo. She immediately fell in love with the breathtaking views from every window in this stunning Junior Penthouse. The sweeping balconies, with over 250 square feet of usable space, sealed the deal.

With open concept living and an ideal location, I know she is going to love all that her new southwest Portland condo has to offer. Client’s needs change over time and whether it’s a first home, fourth home or even an investment property, it’s always a delight to help my clients through the process.

Welcome to Portland!

With all their children on the West coast, my clients were ready to make the move from Nashville. They fell in love with Portland and during their visits here we toured several beautiful homes. This architecturally rich Laurelhurst home was the perfect fit.

From the light filled living spaces to updated amenities, this home is perfect for hosting their family during the holidays. The northeast location is absolutely ideal, close to restaurants and grocery stores, and I am thrilled to welcome these new Portlanders to the Rose City!

Tri-level on Tremont

It’s always a pleasure to help someone buy their first home but it’s the ultimate compliment when they reach out again to buy their second house! This was the case with my recent client. I helped him purchase a townhome in Hillsboro a few years ago and when he was ready to move into a larger space, I was honored that he reached out again.

In the years since he purchased his first home, he had met someone and his job situation had changed. Now he was looking for more room and a better location. After searching throughout the westside, we found this updated tri-level home in Southwest Portland. With plenty of room inside and out for entertaining and proximity to his work, this home was exactly what they were hoping for. Congratulations, it’s been a pleasure helping you find your perfect home, twice!

Keeping it PNW

Heather and John left Portland over 2 decades ago. They were heading north for work and soon started a family. Seattle treated them well. They renovated a stunning mid-century home and between work, and kids’ sports games, they spent sunny weekends at the lake at their cabin in Washington. All this time, Heather had kept her 503 number, and it was a good reason! They’ve made a move back to Portland, now with 2 cute kids and one curly dog in toe. Eastmoreland was the neighborhood they wanted for their family, and this Cape Cod was the place! Can’t wait to see what renovations they dream up at their new home!

Kendra and Mitch were on the hunt for a project. Mitch is a contractor and Kendra is no slouch when it comes to real estate investments and creative vision.

When the two discovered this little cottage, tucked away in a hidden pocket in Overlook, they knew it’d be the perfect project to dive into. This sweet cottage, in the same family for over 40 years, needs some love. We are thrilled that it will soon have a new lease on life! I’m not sure about you, but I can’t wait to see what they do!

East to West!

The happy new owners of this Southwest Gem are New York born and raised, but Oregonians now for almost half a decade. With two children and NW sensibilities firmly in place, they figured it was time to buy a home. When they saw this West Side stunner, they knew she was the one.

It could have been the exquisitely remodeled kitchen that they fell in love with, or the traditional floor plan with bedrooms upstairs and plenty of flex living space on the main floor with a warm gas fireplace in which to gather. Or was it the three-car garage with soaring 20+ foot ceilings, large enough for swings and an indoor climbing gym?! Native landscaping, backyard trails, a well-outfitted treehouse and a sandbox to boot! Throw in a quiet cul-de-sac, a supportive neighborhood community. All of it together…The PNW Dream.

A New Chapter Beyond Portland

Our clients bought their house 3 years ago using a rehab loan. And rehab they did. Thinking that this was their forever home, they brought the property back to life. But as life has it…a new opportunity beyond Portland appeared and they needed to sell their home. Making a large profit was a bonus to their new adventure. Thinking about rehabbing a property and want to know more? We can help!
