When I met Rachel and Jayson they were ready to jump into the market-- pre-approved, knowledgeable about the market, and in agreement about what they wanted. Their goal-- to find a 3 bedroom home, lots of outdoor space, maybe a garage, and located in a neighborhood midway between their work. After being outbid on 2 homes, they came upon a lovely home that checked off the list in Milwaukie. Again a multiple offer situation-- this time in their favor! Way to hang in there through the ups and downs of a competitive market-- 2 months was all it took!

Easy Curb Appeal Before & After
Our amazing clients Kimberly and Jeremy have a lot on their plate. They just finished painting the entire interior and are in the middle of moving things out to get their house ready for market in less than 4 days. All this work and they also have a small baby to take care of! They weren't sure what to do about planter box at the front of the house and they were running out of time. I had a few ideas and asked if I could take over the planter box. $140 and 2 hours later, I left them with a cute feature that will help with show off their amazing house when it hits the market this Friday!
