The One that (Almost) Got Away

June 11, 2024

So, picture this:

A cozy, quaint bungalow nestled in a beautiful tree-lined street in West Linn. My clients walk in, and immediately they’re in love. But guess what? They aren’t the only ones…

Another buyer swoops in.

But this is where we double down. I contact the listing agent (someone I’ve had a professional relationship with for years). I learn a few key things about the seller – including their eagerness to move quickly.

A tailored approach:

We write an offer carefully catered to the seller’s needs and and add few extra perks without compromising my clients’ position. And then? It works! The sellers are impressed by our tailored offer and decide to accept!

Although nothing is guaranteed in real estate…

With extensive research, long standing relationships, and a tailored offer, real estate miracles can happen.

Are you next?! Reach out anytime, and let’s make something happen!

Picture this: me pulled over on the side of the road, flipping through a map book, trying to figure out if I missed my turn... again. A wrong turn meant recalculating manually! 🤦‍♀️ Fast forward 20+ years, and let me tell you: GPS is a game-changer! These days, I hop in my car, punch in an address, and follow those soothing turn-by-turn directions like a pro. No detours. No guesswork. Just smooth sailing to my next showing. 🙌 Do you remember navigating without GPS? Drop a 📍 in the comments if you’ve ever used a Thomas Guide or had to rely on actual directions! 😅

Why wait for summer to enjoy a staycation? Embrace the magic of the season with a cozy winter getaway in Lake Oswego! ✨ Make it memorable with these must-dos: • Stay: Book a night at @thelakeshoreinn for stunning lake views and twinkling holiday lights. • Dine: Sip on festive cocktails or enjoy fresh seafood at @fivespice_seafood, or indulge in sushi at @bamboosushi (my pick: The Unicorn with Miso Caesar Salad!). End on a sweet note at @saltandstraw—my favorite is a split scoop of Snickerdoodle and Honey Lavender on a waffle cone. 🍦 • Breakfast: Start your day with a cozy breakfast at @sthonorebakery. Their chowder tea? Simply unmatched! • Shop: Find unique gifts at @cityhomelakeoswego and @mapelboutique. • Play: Take a magical ride on the Holiday Trolley—perfect for little ones! Then stroll through scenic George Rogers Park with bread crumbs for the ducks. • Admire: End your evening marveling at the sparkling Christmas lights on the boats along the Willamette River. ⛵ 🎄 How will you make the most of Lake Oswego’s festive season?
