KC Heaney Portland Realtor

This is a picture of two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.
G and T reached out a few months ago after an old high school friend sent them my info (thank you thank you ). They were ready to move out of the city in search of more land, but first up was selling their cute NE bungalow. When I went over for an initial walk-through, they had already gotten to work. They had cleared out all the clutter and started on small repairs. Almost everything I put on their list was already on their radar (seriously, champs). I added a few more things, brought in some extra staging pieces (read: pillows…it’s always pillows :) and bam! We hit the market. A few days, lots of showings and packed open houses later and we had 8 solid offers in and got them in contract on their house at a dynamite price and with 2 months of rent back…and then the fun began. Y’all, even with a 2 month cushion, it’s stressful to look for a new home in this market, I’m not gonna lie. G and T were luckily super flexible and patient, but we did miss out on a couple of places, and interest rates and nerves started to rise. Then one day they sent me a listing for a floating home. I had to double take at first, but then it all started to make sense. They had looked into floating homes a few years ago so they were well versed in the process, but they wanted something with a decent amount of deck space for their cute pups, which always stopped them. Now here was a 2 bed, 2 bath with a gigantic deck that was priced at a point where they could use all the equity from the home they just sold without having to finance. Bam! 2 weeks later and here they are with keys to their new floating home and dreams and schemes of all the kayaking and river exploration they can imagine.
and , it has been an absolute pleasure to work with you. I wish for my sake you wanted to buy 10 more houses, but for your sake I’m glad you found home. And seriously, hit me up when you need a house sitter! I’ll bring my paddle board 😍🏄🏻‍♀️⚓️🍾

I could tell you how our flight got canceled and we almost got stuck in Mexico 2 more days and I could tell you how we thought on our feet and pivoted and just barely made it onto a flight to Sacramento last night and then ended up staying in a seedy motel for 5hrs before finally landing in PDX 12hrs late (but not 48hrs late!)……..but instead I just want to tell you how good it is to be back with these two loves and alllll their snuggles.
(And a few final pics from MX…anthropology museum, the progression of our water bottle sizes and I finally had my helado 🙃)
Now back to work!

Day 5 in DF…and we’re back! Still a little iffy but we rallied enough to see a govt building filled with 3 floors of Diego Rivera murals (🤯), eat some tasty chilaquiles, walk through a beautiful park with some beautiful friends (3 of whom I was lucky enough to help buy houses last year 🥳), see some street art and maybe my favorite ad ever “el dinero no compra la felicidad pero si mucho helado” (money doesn’t buy happiness but it does buy a lot of ice cream).
Last full day tomorrow and I’m hoping I feel good enough for some helado 🤞
