Fight Hunger and Poverty in Wilsonville

COMMUNITY RUMMAGE SALE

Hosted by Grace Chapel

Over the last four years $50,000 was raised to fight hunger and poverty in Wilsonville through this rummage sale. 100% of the profits from the Wilsonville Rummage Sale go to addressing the issues of HUNGER and POVERTY in our community and last year this included glasses for kids who cannot afford them, food for the food bank, clothing, school supplies and so much more.

This is a great way to clear out your own clutter, things no longer of use to you, things that someone else might treasure. We all know one person's clutter may be someone else's treasure.

Sometimes we just cannot write a check or donate money that we might need for groceries or to pay bills to keep the heat on, but we can donate no longer wanted items that are still in good repair and might help someone else. What a great cause.

WHEN ? The sale begins:

Friday March 9, 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. and

Saturday March 10 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Saturday only everything is 50% off from 12 p.m.until 2 p.m.

WHERE? Grace Chapel, 9600 SW Boeckman Rd, Wilsonville, OR 97070

All donations are tax deductible and all sales are final ~ Cash only

Signed, Funded and Recorded....And Now For...

The Rest of The Story

My buyer and I researched, studied and looked for just the right property for at least a year and a half. We had a certain price range to consider, and wondered when my client's home would sell. She owned the house with her ex husband so only part of the proceeds would be hers, and in this market who knew what the home would actually bring. But we were patient and just looked and researched different areas.

Her home was not listed with me but I could see the price was too high and not being marketed very well, but it was not my place to say, so of course I kept quiet. Her home was on the market for over a year and a half and finally after one price adjustment, no opens, they finally decided to change Realtors.

A well connected, local Realtor was hired and able to get them to lower the price to a reasonable level, brought in a Stager and two months later her home sold.

Now we began to look in earnest and dug deeper into the marketplace. In her price range there was not much that was not falling down or it was so small she was not able to fit much in let along turn around. Finally we did find one home that suited her perfectly, and had over 2000 square feet instead of 900. A Freddie Mac owned home and we jumped on it. Seven bids in all, we won out and we were not even the highest, but we were the first.

Now it is signed, sealed and delivered (the keys of course), and there is only one more thing to do...Next Tuesday, we will have dinner and I will present her with her move-in Gift. Something I know she loves and has no idea she will receive..

and this is..................... The Rest Of The Story.
