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.

5 Tips for Homeowners Who Hate Yard Work

Posted on May 11, 2020June 12, 2020 by Sharon Bloudek

5 Tips for Homeowners Who Hate Yard Work

I’ll say it: I don’t love yard work. I do love to sit in my yard on a beautiful day. I don’t mind planting flowers once a year. But I don’t love pulling weeds and edging grass and mowing (and mowing) and bagging clippings and raking and . . . .

Some people love yard work. They find it peaceful and gratifying. And that’s great! But for the rest of us, here are some tips to keep your yard looking beautiful, but with minimal effort:

Plant trees. Not the messy, flowering kind! Choose trees that are native to your area. Take care to plant where tree roots won’t disturb the foundation of your home. Consult experts at your local nursery for help selecting ideal trees for your property. Tip: when you go to the nursery, it’s a good idea to bring along a rough sketch of your yard, with approximate measurements.
Plant drought-tolerant plants. Select shrubs, ornamental grasses, and other plants that are native to your area. These are low-maintenance, but they add loads of color and texture to your yard and look beautiful against a backdrop of trees.
Hardscape. Create pathways out of stone or gravel; use decorative river rock for visual interest, or even consider installing a water feature. Most hardscape additions to your yard will require very little in terms of ongoing maintenance.
Mulch. Wherever you have trees or plants, keep a nice, thick layer of mulch on the ground. Mulch helps to lock in moisture (here in Oregon, that means you don’t have to water nearly as much!), keeps the weeds at bay, and helps your hard to look tidy and cared for—with minimal effort. You can lay down mulch yourself in very little time, or have it professionally blown in at a reasonable cost.
Container gardening. If you like the idea of a little green in your yard without the commitment of a full-blown lawn or garden, container gardening might be the ideal solution for you! Plant annual flowers, herbs, or small flowering plants and shrubs (like hydrangeas) in planters. Planters come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, so you’re sure to find something that complements your home’s exterior. You can also consider buying a pressure washer from unclutterer to clean up your little yard.

Of course, choosing a home with no yard is also a great option! Newer urban homes are often on small lots, which translates to less yard work. Condominiums usually have associated fees, but these fees cover ongoing maintenance like yard work, giving you the option to still enjoy a small green space without breaking a sweat! And of course, if you do have a sizeable yard, you can always hire a landscaping company to perform weekly or monthly yard maintenance for you. Whether you’re in the market for a home or condo with minimal yard space, or if you own a home and need a recommendation for landscaping, I’d love to help!

Just Sold: A Spacious Lake Oswego Home

Posted on December 6, 2019December 6, 2019 by Living Room Realty

I met Mika and Craig over 10 years ago when they were still Portland newbies. In fact, the first time we went to see houses, I picked them up from a hotel! They found a great home near Multnomah Village and as their family grew, it was my privilege to help them grow that home to better fit their needs.

Recently they expressed their desire for a bigger yard and additional space for their two children. It’s always a joy to help clients as their needs change and after some searching, they decided on this beautiful, spacious, Lake Oswego home. Nestled on nearly an acre of land with an expansive deck and a private backyard, they knew they had found the perfect fit for their family.

Soon after, I helped them put their first home on the market and it went pending in 2 days with multiple offers! I always work toward a seamless transition for my clients and in this case their purchase and sale were just that. It’s been an honor to help Mika and Craig over the years and I’m so excited that they have found the perfect place to call their forever home.
