Buying a Home in SW Portland: Nicholas & Heather’s Story

When Nicholas and Heather first reached out after they were referred by some of my favorite past clients, they knew one thing for sure: they wanted to plant roots in SW Portland. Known for its lush green neighborhoods, easy access to downtown, and charming pocket communities like Multnomah Village, the area had everything they were hoping for. It also just so happens to be an area that I specialize (and live) in!

But as anyone currently navigating the Portland housing market knows, the journey from dreaming to key day can be a winding one.

Searching All Over Town

Though SW Portland was their top choice, Nicholas and Heather cast a wide net at first, exploring neighborhoods all across the city. They viewed homes in a variety of locations, and even braved a few especially spooky basements in the process, an experience many Portland buyers can relate to!

Through it all, they stayed focused, flexible, and resilient. Like many buyers today, they submitted multiple offers and weathered the ups and downs of a competitive market. I worked closely with them every step of the way, helping them refine their search, evaluate homes critically, and make strong, strategic offers.

A Happy Ending in SW Portland

Their patience finally paid off. Nicholas and Heather ultimately landed a beautiful home in their dream area right near Multnomah Village! Not only is the neighborhood peaceful and walkable, but it also gives them great access to shops, cafes, and local parks. One major win? Nicholas can easily use public transit to get to work, a huge plus for their lifestyle. And the fact that they're just close enough to the Village to pop in for Taco Tuesday at Tito’s Taquitos is the cherry on top!

I’m thrilled to have helped them find the perfect fit and couldn’t be happier for this next chapter.
