Common Questions
Before you call
Should I sell my home to a cash investor or list it on the market?
It depends on your situation. A cash sale can be faster and simpler, but you may leave money on the table. I'll walk you through the pros and cons of each option based on your timeline, the home's condition, and your financial needs.
What do I need to do to get my home ready for the market?
Every home is different, but I provide a personalized plan. This might include minor repairs, decluttering, deep cleaning, staging, and professional photography. I have a network of trusted contractors who can help with any work needed.
My parents need to downsize but I live out of state. Can you help?
Absolutely. I work with families from a distance all the time. I can coordinate with your parents, manage the process locally, and keep you informed every step of the way through regular updates.
Do you handle rural properties with septic and well systems?
Yes. I'm experienced with rural properties on Portland's west side, including septic systems, well water, and the inspection issues that come with them. This local knowledge is critical when buying or selling outside city limits.
