After growing up and living in the southeastern US for most of my life, I moved to the gorgeous and green Pacific northwest in 2002. My family and I were extremely happy living in North Portland for many years. Well, at least until the pandemic hit, when we realized our 1100 square foot, North Portland 1926 bungalow with 4 tiny closets and a postage stamp for a back yard was chipping away at our sanity. We made a move 15 minutes north, over the Columbia River, to Portland's beautiful neighboring city of Vancouver, Washington. We absolutely love it up here! We have access to Portland’s award-winning restaurants, nightlife, sales tax-free shopping and airport. It’s the best of both worlds! Not only that, but Vancouver has become a destination spot in its own right with upscale restaurants and shops on the waterfront and downtown, as well as the enormous Farmers' Market on Saturdays and Sundays. If you're looking to make a move to Portland, Oregon or the greater Vancouver area (including Camas, Battle Ground, Washougal, Ridgefield) hit me up. Seattle and Portland ex-pats, retirees and first-time buyers, I'm looking at you! I'm a licensed real estate broker in both Oregon and Washington and would love to help you make your next move.
