Yesterday was a happy event. I helped my client close on her dream piece of real estate in the Old Port. She lives and works in the D.C. area and is a scientist with the Smithsonian. She has children in college in Maine and so she fell in love with Portland while traveling through. It will provide a relaxing getaway spot where she can shop, eat in great restaurants and visit childhood friends. It is in a historic brick building and has some views of the harbor. A perfect "pied-a-Terre" in the city. It was very satisfying to experience her happiness.And to get to know her family. As usual we had a number of obstacles to overcome to get to closing and it took hard work and tenacity. But it makes it all Worth it when there is a happy ending.
