Moving is not fun.  Period.  Selling a house and buying a new one is not fun.  It’s stressful.  A lot can go sideways.  A lot of unexpected things will come up.  I didn’t go into it thinking it was going to be an easy task.  If it was easy, why would I need a real estate agent?  I knew I wanted to find an agent with experience with floating homes.  After a little investigating online, and Karla’s name came up again and again.  I was pleased to see that she also had experience selling houses on land.  I really wanted to only have one agent to do it all.

My move was tricky: repairs on both ends, lots of furniture to move (including fishtanks!), and a very small overlap time window to get it all done. Karla did an excellent job handling all the difficult issues that arose while selling my old home, buying the new one, and even moving.  I appreciated her candor, her tact, her experience and resourcefulness.  She told me the truth whether it was pretty or not.  She kept me informed at every stage and explained my options when a decision had to be made. She cares, she listens, and I never felt like I “settled” on anything. I got all the things I wanted: a great sale price on my old home, a new one with a view, a friendly moorage that allows dogs, close to Sauvie Island, and a gorgeous house.

Now I wake up every morning looking at the sunrise over Mt. Hood and Sauvie Island. I feel like I am in a vacation home; living the dream I always had of being on the water.  This was the best decision I have ever made, and Karla made it happen
