Recently, I met a local physician and his family who were out scouting homes for his parents. The parents were in New Jersey – life-long East Coasters – who had decided it was time for a relocation to be closer to their grandkids. They knew what they wanted, and in order to meet their requirements, we needed to keep a close eye on the Portland market, waiting for the perfect property to come up. When we saw this incredible home in Raleigh Hills, sitting on an acre of land with its own pond and tranquil setting, we put technology to work to get the parents (virtually) inside.
Through a series of FaceTime calls and tours, we got the go ahead to make a move and present an offer. With regularly scheduled, twice-daily check ins and screen shares, we were able to navigate the ropes of an all-electronic transaction. By serving as boots on the ground for my clients, I was able to oversee all points of the inspection process and was honored to have earned their trust in this important decision.
The new owners will be moving in just in time for this beautiful oasis to come to life with spring blooms, and at last check, a few ducks to call their own.
Are you looking to relocate and need to find the right agent to make real estate work across time zones? Give me a call. Or better yet, let’s FaceTime and get to know each other.
High fives, and till the next one,
Gabrielle
