So you're contemplating a relocation move to Portland, Oregon? Perhaps you’ve landed a job and are relocating due to employment related reasons? Or, maybe the affordable cost of living brings you to town, especially if you’re moving up from California, or heading west from the East Coast. You are in the right place. Portland has long been considered one of the nation's top ten livable cities. Currently, it is a leader in it's usage of sustainable building practices in many condo projects

No matter what your decisions might be, the Portland, Oregon region is one of the nation’s best-kept secrets. From the Downtown Center City, drive due west for about one hour and hit the Oregon Coast. Not into the sand and salt-sea air? Drive about one hour due east and hit the slopes! Mt. Hood is opened yearlong. Are you into hiking, biking, and wine tasting?

That's just for starters. If you can name it, you'll find it here or there but not very far from your reach.

If you’re not familiar with the lay of the land, your relocation to Portland should be considered an adventure. Where else can you see century old historic properties FOR SALE? Divided into rich and diverse neighborhoods of NE, NW, SE, SW and N Portland, there is sure to be a place you can call home.

From the urban areas of NW (The Pearl District, The Alphabet Blocks) to the SW suburbs, I know the neighbors and have assisted many buyers with their relocation move. For an in-depth consultation about your plans to relocate to Portland, please feel free to contact me.
