Mid-century Ranch with stylish updates--SOLD for 36K over list price!

UPDATE: This home received its first offer within 48 hours on the market and was pending with multiple offers by day 4. The feedback from buyers and brokers alike was overwhelmingly positive after touring the entire property. If you are thinking about selling your home, ask me about how my team of the best stagers/photographers in Portland made this one stand out and how we successfully navigated through a tricky repair.

Experience the perfect blend of modern updates and classic mid-century charm in this beautifully remodeled ranch-style home. The main level offers convenient single-level living with three bedrooms and a bathroom arranged together. Enjoy the recently refinished oak floors and light, fresh paint throughout. The kitchen, which was thoughtfully remodeled less than a year ago, features Schoolhouse fixtures, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The finished basement has a remodeled bathroom completed in 2019, laundry facilities, and versatile flex space that can be used however you see fit: Den and office? Playroom and guest bed? Home gym and game room? You decide! Out back, you'll find a large fenced yard with a covered patio. The roof was replaced in 2017, and a new sewer line was installed in 2019. Cherry Park Elementary School is located just at the end of the block. With only two owners in its lifetime, this home has been well-cared for and is just waiting for you to make it your own.

Powellhurst-Gilbert cutie on huge lot sells quickly with multiple offers

This charming bungalow was tastefully updated inside and out. From the moment the homeowners purchased it in 2019 to the time we listed, they poured time, energy, and resources into creating a really well-maintained and current starter home for one lucky buyer. The sun-filled kitchen features quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances. The bathroom was completely remodeled in 2020. The 3rd bedroom can be primary suite, play room, family room, home office--it's a true flex space. Enough space to park your camper van or RV without sacrificing any space in the two car garage or the .18 acre backyard oasis. Not to be overlooked are new windows, 200 amp panel, new mini-splits w/ A/C—the kind of upgrades you don’t see at this price point.

Despite being listed on Fourth of July weekend, the buyers who came through this home were serious and ready to offer. As a result of this home showing well and being priced competitively for our changing market, we received multiple offers and were pending four days after going on the market. I was able to negotiate a fairly quick closing and a generous rent back to seal the deal #chefskiss. We closed this out without a hitch even with the sellers in Europe for a good chunk of the process. Cheers to my clients who are on to the next chapter in their lives!

Hillsdale Hideaway sells for 117% of asking price in four days!

This charming Hillsdale home spent four days on the market and during that brief time had nearly 40 private showings and two packed open houses, resulting in nine really outstanding offers—all over asking price. I partnered with Inhabit colleague Morgan Cox on this one and we are beyond thrilled to have successfully guided the seller through this process.

Prior to selling, we helped our client pare down and pack away unnecessary items in the home and stage with his existing furniture. Then we sent in the contractors to fix a few things and hired a cleaner to make it shine. One of my goals as a listing agent is always to offer the client advice on how to prepare the home for sale in a way that brings that seller the most bang for their buck—we don’t recommend expensive remodeling unless there is an expected return on investment. This home was a great example of maximizing the existing home’s potential and benefiting from smart choices like fresh paint, de-cluttering, and professional cleaning. The buyers who offered on the home as well as those who toured during the open houses loved the neighborhood, the woodsy feel, the downstairs rental potential, and the set back from the street—all elements that we made a point to highlight in our marketing. All in all, we achieved our client’s desired outcome and, along with a great cooperating agent, created a win-win for both seller and buyer.!
