When you’re a realtor, you get the honor of meeting all types of people from all walks of life and play a small part of their story. Every once in a while it is extra special when you get to help someone that you already know and love- a family member! I began talking with my cousin Lindsay over a year ago when she was just in the beginning stages of seriously considering homeownership. We talked current market, lender details, and timelines. With the Portland market being one of the hottest in the country, it can be a bit intimidating as a first time homeowner but we were determined to make the process as simple and rewarding as possible.
We talked about how there ARE still good deals in Portland and the benefits of extremely low interest rates. Before I knew it, they found a house that they loved, wrote an offer within 3 days of going on the market and the next day they were in escrow!
After successfully negotiating a few repairs into the deal and thwarting some minor transaction obstacles, we are so excited that Lindsay, Nich and Margot get to start their lives and projects in this new-to-them home.
Congrats, guys! Love you lots!
