Hello Brian, You may remember us. You were our agent when we purchased a condo at North Park Lofts several years ago. We are thinking about selling and wanted to speak with you.
I am likely relocating to Portland from San Francisco within the next two years. Could be sooner, could be later. I am looking for something less than $125,000. Maybe a short sale. I have seen some two bed short sales for this amount or less. Any ideas or advice? How should I approach this? I own a condo in SF now valued at $425,000, owe $212,000. Thanks. Terence
Hi , very nice forum !!!!!! :) c
Hi- We are condo investors (no experience in PDX)....all cash deals.Pearl/Goose Hollow/Alphabet/other close in locations considered. No high HOAs that would impact resale. Willing to bid (low) on long DOM properties with an experienced agent who can sort the properties. Looking for 2/2 or 1/2 w/Den condos... and experienced with short sales and REOs.No major fixers...Can close fast on right property.Need an agent who can work through the priced to sit MLS inventory, has access to pre-lists and can sort properties based on assessor, recent sales (not comps),and resale potential within 1 to 2 years (willing to hold)....Thanks, Al
Is the Benson Towers near the Esplanade and the Strand condos? I was down in that area today and liked it. What would a 1 or 2 bedroom go for? Same question applies for the Meriwether West. Thanks
Which condos have HOAs that allow all breeds of dogs with good manners?
Hi Sue, This is a great question. I wish I had a good answer for you, but I don't. Some condos will exclude certain breeds and other condos will put a weight limit on the pets allowed. I have never seen a list of condos that will allow all breeds; I have only been able to get this information on a case by case basis.
Is there a list of Duplexes outside Portland? Only preliminary looking but would rather be on the West or prefably SW- Sherwood, Tigard Lake O, Tualatin Ect. Would also be interested in exceptional deals(I know who wouldn't) bank owned single family 3+ bed in same area. Thanks!
Hi, i have just started the process of looking for a single family home in the Portland area (including Beavorton, Happy Valley, Cedar Mill, etc). I would like to work with someone who can help me with this. To be honest, I will be relocating from overseas to Portland in the near future. So it will make the home shopping process a bit more challenging. Anyhow, I will be in town in late Oct for couple days just to see the area. If this sounds like an interesting opportunity to you, let me know how you would suggest to take this further. Here are some of my criteria for the house: -at least 4 bedrooms house -in good school district as I have 2 kids (2 and 4 now) -house which is no more than 3 years old or brand new house I have not decided to exactly which part of Portland is my final place. I am open to advice for professional like you. Looking for area which is family oriented, safe, and have good school district. The best way to reach me is through email. You can reach me at my overseas mobile number, but the 15 hours time zone difference will just make communication a bit more difficult. However, you can chat with me through Whatsapp as well. Tel: +853 6613-xxxx Look forward hearing from you, Best regards, Paco
Thank you for reaching out to me via my website brianporter.com I will be very happy to help you find a nice, safe, family oriented home in Portland. From the criteria that you have mentioned, I think NW Portland (Forest Heights, Bethany and Rock Creek) would be good options for you. I think that Beaverton and Hillsboro should also be considered. Are you going to be working on the west side of Portland? I will send you some listings in a separate email for your consideration.
Just beginning to look in the area, and looking for a good search engine/site found yours. Any chance that your web vendor can add 'keyword searching' as we are looking for contemporary,or modern Thanks Ben
