Phelan Van Deren Real Estate Broker

Phelan Van Deren Real Estate Broker Hi, I'm Phelan! Follow me as I strive to be the best real estate agent you've ever worked with. Hello, my name is Phelan! I can't wait to get to know you!

I grew up here in Portland, and love everything about the PNW. I am originally from the Southwest but fell in love with the trees, rain, and vast amount of outdoor activities in the region at a young age. I've spent the last two-plus years as a home appraisal assistant, but before that, I spent several years training and leading teams of customer service reps at REI. While I have enjoyed learning

the appraisal side of real estate I quickly began to realize that something was missing. I have a passion for customer service, helping people, and offering knowledgeable insights and those things were all missing from what I had been doing. I loved the industry but needed more from a career so I decided to get my real estate license instead of pursuing my appraisal license. I believe that I will show up different from any other agent that you will meet for several reasons: I grew up in Portland, I have knowledge from a different side of the industry, and I will unequivocally put your needs first. I believe that going out of my way to provide amazing customer service to everyone is the most important thing I can do on a daily basis, and I aim to not only help you achieve your real estate dreams but create life-long relationships with everyone I work with. I work with the best team of hand-selected industry professionals from mortgage lenders, to appraisers, home inspectors, title reps, escrow officers, and even financial advisors; all with the goal of making your next real estate transaction as smooth and stress-free as possible. I want to create an ecosystem of people around my clients so that they don't have to lift a finger during the buying/selling process. Feel free to reach out to me anytime with any questions you may have.

You don’t have to wait until you think you’re ready to buy or sell to reach out to an agent.

There’s a lot more to a home than meets the eye! When I walk through a home I have an extensive mental checklist and look for red flags like:

🚩 Sagging roof
🚩 Single pane windows
🚩 Foundation cracks
🚩 Outdated wiring or outlets
🚩 Old furnace or water heater
🚩 Signs of a past oil heating tank
🚩 Staining or bubbling in the ceiling

It’s always recommended to have a professional inspection done to reveal any hidden problems, but an experienced agent can help identify some potential issues or things that will cost you some serious 💵 that might not be obvious to give you a clear picture of what you’re getting into.

Back in December 2023, housing experts predicted a decline in interest rates by Q3 of 2024. Here’s a comparison to see how those predictions panned out:

Predicted Rates (December 2023):

- Mortgage Bankers Association: 6.1%
- National Association of Realtors: 6.3%
- Fannie Mae: 6.7%

Actual Rates (August 2024):

- August’s average 30-year fixed mortgage: 6.77 percent

Interest rates haven’t dipped as much as originally anticipated. But growth in home prices have slowed, showing signs of stabilization in the market.

Here’s the takeaway: 

Waiting for significantly lower rates will likely push prices up as more buyers enter the market.

In today’s market, take advantage of:

1. Seller credits to reduce closing costs
2. Mortgage rate buy downs to lower your monthly mortgage payment.
3. Working with an experienced agent who will negotiate the most favorable terms for you.

The spring market has definitely arrived in Portland and as a result, we’ve been swamped lately! So swamped that I’ve not been good about sharing everything that’s been going on. To get y’all caught up, here’s what the past month has looked like!

1. We just got our wonderful clients under contract for this adorable craftsman house in the Alberta Arts neighborhood! This was their third offer, and everything we’ve written offers for has gone way over list price in the first weekend. This one had a previous sale-fail, which is why it was a bit less competitive, but it had 14 offers the first time it was listed and multiple offers again the second time 🥵

2. Congrats to our sellers on the successful sale of their home that was part of a trust! We had 4 showings in the first two days and got an offer on the first weekend being on the market! Our sellers were beyond thrilled!

3. Congrats to our repeat clients who are buying 10 acres with a view to build their dream home! Beyond excited to be able to help them find the right piece of land and we can’t wait to see what they end up building!

4. Congrats to our buyers for purchasing their first home with an ADU! They’re going to fix up the house, rent out the ADU to lower their monthly payment, and house hack into another duplex next year! This one was also purchased off-market before other people had a chance to see it!

5. Congrats to our buyers from Arizona on purchasing their forever home on an acre in Battle Ground! They were shopping while living in AZ, which meant virtual showings! Not only were they out of state, but we also were able to beat out 16 other offers despite not being the highest priced offer. We’re extremely excited to have been able to find them their dream home.

Sold!

Thank you to our wonderful first time home buyer for trusting us to walk her through the process!

Buying your first home can be really overwhelming and scary. If you aren’t sure where to start or just want to ask some questions don’t hesitate to reach out with whatever you need!

This one was a unique circumstance where the buyer found her dream home but needed some creative lending to make it work for her.
