Harry Potter is the new Mindspace

Need a coping mechanism? Something a little stronger than these meditation mindfulness apps? Revisit our good friends at Hogwarts and pick the Harry Potter series again. Just for fun. Just for you.

I’ve been getting my “books-on-tape” on and enjoying the delightfully reassuring voice of stately Brit, Jim Dale, reading the Harry Potter books to me and I gotta tell ya, my peace of mind is improving by the minute.

Summer can be a crazy time in Real Estate, and finding calm in the storm helps keep the ship upright.

Damascus, who knew?!?!

EXCUSE ME, NBD, JUST THE CUTEST AND SWEETEST FAM EVER. When these darling dolls came to me looking for a home to raise their family in, I was so excited to help them find the perfect fit. We totally lucked out on this contemporary charmer in Damascus. They are both police officers in Multnomah County, so finding a haven was very important for them to destress after a long day on the beat. So now they can relax by the Clackamas river, playing with the other kids in the neighborhood, and enjoying the gorgeous mountain views. Congrats Lindsey and Bryson! And to ‘my son’ Ryland. If only you truly were mine!

Gold & Grimm

Gold & Grimm

I recently helped my neighbor in Milwaukie sell their charming ranch, and while I was sad to lose my rad neighbor, she bought one of the coolest homes in North Portland off Williams Street. We call it a “Gingerbread Victorian”, because well, just look at it! Cute as a story-tale cottage, but like the tale of Hansel & Gretel, it had a strange secret. Before the sellers put it on the market, it was host to the show Grimm and had undergone a very dramatic (and creepy) makeover. The entire interior of the home was painted top to bottom in gold. It was also covered in roots and branches to give it a nest-like appearance. Want to see the spookiness unfold? It’s featured on Season 1, episode 14, starting at minute 26 (currently available on Amazon Prime).

2 Realtors & a Baby

Oh hello,

I’d like you to take a look at this here baby. I mean, have you ever? You haven’t even ever and you could never. But it just so happens that Tony and Aya have. They made that kid from scratch and thankfully for us, brought this angelic creature with them this winter when they decided to relocate to Portland from Chicago.

This time last year I had sold a gorgeous SW hills home to Tony’s parents, who wanted to be closer to previously mentioned darling grandchild once they arrived. Talk about family planning!

Sometimes we work with wicked cool clients and I think that my luck might run out, but then they refer us their super cool kids and the streak continues!

In my feelings…

Saying goodbye to summer can be bittersweet for Portlanders. It’s farewell to long warm nights out at the river, backyard hangouts with your friends and family, crazy amazing fresh tomatoes at the local farmers market, and that glorious glorious sunshine. Dry streets perfect for bicycling turn slick with rain and happy hour on the patio has to move indoors. It can be a tough transition with a lot of mixed feelings. Here is a little list of ways to ease the shock and take advantage of this weird part of the year that is simultaneously too hot and too cold.
