One Double-helping of Garage, Order Up!
Being a vintage auto enthusiast myself, I know the value of a good garage!! I also know how hard it is to find a two-car garage in the first 20 blocks of Portland-Proper, and especially for $250K! It sounds unrealistic, sounds like a chore, sounds like we're gonna see...
The Quintessential Portland Home – Mt. Tabor!
Today was one of those stereotypically "Portland" spring days - grey, pouring rain sideways, downright dismal. As I unlocked the door to my newly listed Mt. Tabor Craftsman, I felt a rush of comfort and coziness!! AHH! In this refuge from the rain, a golden glow...
What my clients are saying…
“My husband and I worked with Alyssa to buy our first house and we couldn’t be happier. She really took the time to learn about our lifestyle and what our home needed to be. Like most people, we wanted it all but our budget was tight. She managed to find us a little mid-century gem in an up and coming neighborhood that we really love. It was in gorgeous condition (we’re not particularly handy) and the yard was perfect for my husband who is a gardening enthusiast. It matches our style perfectly and suits all of our needs…including an awesome basement for storing our garden goodies. She was patient, enthusiastic and was able to leverage her vast knowledge and experience to ensure there were no unhappy surprises after we moved in. I recommend her to first time home buyers, mid-century enthusiasts…or really anyone at all.”
“I worked with Alyssa when I listed my very period perfect vintage home. She is incredibly knowledgeable about architects, styles, eras and pays careful attention to the details. The flyer she designed for me was so beautiful that it was a challenge just to keep the sign stocked! She was exceedingly helpful through every part of the process – her advice and assistance was invaluable. I wish she had been my realtor when I bought the place! When I am ready to purchase another house, she is absolutely the only realtor I’ll work with – she pays such careful attention to what her clients want and think is important. I know she’ll find me a house that is the RIGHT era in a good neighborhood with the important, kitschy vintage details that I *have* to have.”
“Alyssa Starelli helped me with a home purchase last year. She is the best kind of agent. She listened to my needs and wasted none of my time looking at properties that were out of my price range. And I was looking for cheap! In a certain area. Agents work on a commission, so this was not a lucrative sale, however she treated me as if I were her best client. Every time a new listing became available with potential she took me to see it. And it took awhile, but she hung there. She used her extensive knowledge in neighborhoods and architecture to guide me towards a good investment. She pointed out things that could become a problem. It took almost a year, so at times I felt pretty discouraged that we would succeed, but we found it! I am now living in a home with the size, area, quality and price I was hoping to find.”
