Hiring  an agent: 

When you buy a floating home (or sell one) hiring a broker who knows about floating homes. The buying resources are unique, and it’s helpful to have Karla Divine on your side who can interpret the inspection reports and hook you up with river contractors. I am proud of my work with floating home buyers and sellers. I ask them to write a short letter of recommendation that tells other folks about working with me. Cindy and Mike were great to work with; they are careful and available to work through the process. Below is the letter they wrote for me. I am so happy to share this with anyone who reads my blog. I am happy to interview with you for the job of being your floating home representative.

Karla Divine: Direct Approach is Honest and Pragmatic

Recently, we purchased a floating home on Multnomah Channel. Our agent Karla Divine played a key role in our success.  Her extensive knowledge of moorages in the area and experience living on a floating home was invaluable.  Being new to Oregon and to the quirkiness of purchasing a floating home, Karla did an excellent job in educating us throughout the process.  She was quick to see our vision for what we were looking for in a home and kept us grounded by offering her candid opinion on properties we were considering. This established trust early on in the home-buying process because it was about finding the right home and not about earning a commission. Her approach was direct, honest, and pragmatic.  We look forward to a long-term relationship with Karla as we learn about living on a floating home.

Cindy and Mike purchased a floating home that needed some work done on the float. We had the float inspected, then shopped for estimates on the needed work. They will be improving this floating home with a new steel stringer float, and hardwood floors. I know they will enjoy living with spectacular mountain views on their floating home.
