A smooth condo sale!

Dear Lorraine,
Dave and I want to thank you for making the sale of our home such a pleasant experience. When you make an offer on another house, in another state, you have no time to spare in getting your present home sold! You assured us that our home would sell quickly and you worked hard to make that happen! In less than two weeks we signed a great offer and started packing.
It was reassuring that you stayed on top of all the details and made sure we knew what was happening at every turn. We never worried for a moment and you made it fun with lots of laughter and enthusiasm. I'm so grateful that we chose you!
Thank you for making a big transition seem easy!

Aging and a tri-level with much deferred maintence

Not sure where to begin here. We are friends and I knew taking our listing on would be a huge task for you. Before you would list our home you said we need to get the backyard cleaned up. The grass was burnt and over a foot long plus there were lots of leaves and old patio furniture scattered about. We called a landscaper but he could not make it right away. You started in the next day raking, cleaning and helping me sort out the family room with an area to donate, to throw out and box up. Two more times you came to box and sort. You went above and beyond to help us.
After listing you coordinated the many showings due to my husbands illness and made it as easy as possible. Five offers later you went over each one with us. We accepted an all cash offer but you encouraged us to take a back up. When the all cash offer backed out we had an offer behind it that brought us more money and a family whose relatives are remodelers. Since the home inspection was a doosey we did what was necessary and offered closing costs and pre-paids to the buyer as they knew we were in no condition physically to do any work and my husband had an upcoming surgery. Their relatives knew exactly how to fix the issues.
It all worked out and I am so grateful we will be moving into a one level soon. You worked your tail off and brought us humor and hope in a difficult situation.
Thank you Lorraine!

Hey Lorraine! Just wanted to reach out and say thank you again for helping us get this beautiful place to call home. Hope all is well with you and no we have not had our house warming party yet, so you haven't missed anything!

Husband passed away/too many steps so listed and got her into a one level

I just want to give a shout out to the best real estate agent I've ever had....Lorraine DeDonato, Principal Broker at Windermere in Lake Oswego. She sold my home in Newberg in two days after it was listed and found me a darling home in Lafayette. Additionally, she sold my grandson and his wife a home in Dayton. If you want someone who really puts you first and goes above and beyond to take care of you, call her at 503-799-6211!
