Finding a Home for the Holidays

#successstory coming right up! ✨

Only the truly motivated buyers come out in the cold winter days between Christmas and the New Year searching for their perfect home. That was my clients, Jeff & Stacey! They were in town for the holiday week and were determined to find their perfect Portland home. Between house tours together and weekend open houses, Jeff and Stacey must have viewed at least a dozen homes in their short time in Portland. The day before they were set to leave town, they walked into an open house in Northeast Portland and instantly knew it was the ONE! ❤️❤️❤️

The home they chose was BEAUTIFUL with refinished wood floors, remodeled modern kitchen, original trim work & built-ins and full finished basement! With only 3 days on the market, we put in a quick offer and after a short negotiation period, agreed at $5,000 off the list price! Truly unheard of in this strong sellers market.

While the house inspection turned up a few unexpected items, we were able to successfully negotiate a BRAND NEW ROOF ($13,000k!!) along with a handful of other needed repairs. One of the perks of buying in the slow winter months is that buyers can have the upper hand in negotiations if the seller is motivated and few buyers are out shopping for homes.

I'm happy to report, Jeff & Stacy closed on their new Portland home in mid-February and flew into town so I could meet them with keys!!!

Excitement and celebration ensued! 🥂

I'm excited that Jeff & Stacey will have a home here in Portland for their frequent trips up to see family and friends.
