🏡 Sale Pending: 13849 SE Taylor St, Portland, OR 97233
That was fast! 🙌 This move-in-ready Hazelwood ranch is officially under contract 🎉
A packed open house, a handful of private showings, and a quick, strong offer later — this one's spoken for.
It's easy to see why buyers fell for it: single-level living with the big-ticket work already done from the refinished hardwoods, a light-filled open floor plan, and an oversized fenced lot made for summer.
✨ Tons of foot traffic at the open house ✨ Multiple private showings ✨ A fast, strong offer — accepted ✨ One happy seller moving on to what's next 🔑
To everyone who came through and to my sellers — thank you. Onto the next chapter! 🥂

🔑 Closed! 🔑
Big congratulations to the Hilden family on officially closing on their Inner SE Portland multi-plex! 🏡✨ From strategy to signatures, this one came together exactly the way we drew it up.
You might remember this was never a "write and hope" deal — these are savvy investors. We did the homework upfront, ran the numbers, and made sure it penciled before we ever submitted. That groundwork paid off all the way through.
The property was well cared for, but as with any deal, a few items surfaced during inspections. Rather than let them stall us, we negotiated some smart concessions, kept everyone at the table, and landed on an agreement that worked for both sides. 🤝
✔️ Investment multi-plex 📊
✔️ Numbers that penciled ✍️
✔️ Issues negotiated, concessions won 🤝
✔️ Deal kept moving 🚀
✔️ Closed and keys in hand 🔑
This is what informed, strategic real estate looks like — confident decisions backed by real data, start to finish. So proud of the Hilden family and excited to see this investment go to work for them.
Thinking about buying or investing in PDX? Let's connect and build a strategy that works. 📈

🔑 Happy Key Day, David! 🔑
When we started this journey, the goal was simple: stay rooted in the SE neighborhood he already knows and loves; in an easy-living, low maintenance property
Every transaction is different, this one was a smooth ride: Inspections came back clean, every repair we asked for was handled, and escrow closed without a hitch. As a first offer on a first home, you really couldn't script it better.
Here's something I share with a lot of my first-time buyer client-friends: when the single-family market feels just out of reach, a low-maintenance, newer-construction townhome like this is a brilliant way to get on the property ladder. You stop renting, start building equity, and plant roots in your community — without taking on a big project right out of the gate.
✔️ First-time homebuyer 🏡
✔️ Smooth inspection ✅
✔️ Repairs all addressed 🔧
✔️ Clean escrow 📋
✔️ Keys in hand 🔑
So proud of you, David. This is what it's all about for me — not the transaction, but watching a fellow Portlander take that huge step and put down roots. 🌳

Thank you Justin and Tessa!! ✨

🎉 Offer Accepted! 🎉
Congrats to my new buyer-client Teresa on getting her offer accepted on 16017 Barlow Trail Ln!
Teresa came to me as a referral from my jiu jitsu coach (Thanks, Papa Bear 🙏) and was relocating from out of state - which can be one of the trickiest moves to make
Buying a home in a place you can't easily drive to takes trust, communication, and an agent willing to do the legwork. We rolled up our sleeves and went to work:
✔️ Found a property that truly fit her needs 🏡
✔️ Fought hard to secure a great deal with the right lender 💪
✔️ Negotiated builder credits to make the numbers work 💰
✔️ Made a long-distance move feel smooth and stress-free ✈️
So excited for Teresa to start this next chapter in her new home 🥳
This is what happens when the right agent and the right strategy come together

🎉 SOLD & CLOSED! 🎉
The keys have officially changed hands at 12523 NE Hassalo! 🔑
If you saw my earlier post, you know this one started strong: thoughtful pre-listing prep, dialed-in pricing, and a clear strategy that brought packed open houses, multiple offers, and a pending status in just 4 days. 💥
But getting to the finish line is where the real work showed up. The inspection and the negotiations that followed were tough — the kind of stretch where a deal can easily fall apart. 😬 Instead, we stayed at the table, kept communication open, and worked together with the buyers and their agent to find common ground.
The result?
➡️ A deal that held together
➡️ Two happy sellers
➡️ A successful close 🎉
Huge congrats to Justin and Tessa! Selling a home can feel overwhelming, but with the right prep, the right pricing, and a willingness to problem-solve when things get hard, we got it done. 🙌
This is why strategy AND persistence matter.

🔑 KEY DAY! 🔑
The keys are officially in Karen's hands at 11514 SE Alder St! 🎉🏡
Karen came to me after a frustrating run with another agent — multiple offers, near-misses, and homes slipping away. She wanted someone who truly knew the neighborhood she dreamed of living in… which happens to be MY neighborhood. 🏡
From accepted offer to keys-in-hand, this one was a dream:

✔️ Inspections were a breeze — smooth from start to finish 🔍
✔️ A beautifully done flip — quality work, above and beyond 💎
✔️ Negotiated a strong seller credit to put money back in Karen's pocket 💰
✔️ Closed on time with zero surprises ✅
✔️ AND Got Karen $17.5k in FREE MONEY with the BofA First Time Home Buyer Grant 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰

So happy for Karen to start this next chapter in a home — and a neighborhood — she's going to love. 🌳

This is what the right agent and the right strategy gets you. 💥
