I first met Elaine a month ago, along with her daughter, son-in-law and twin grandbabies. Elaine was visiting from out of state and had a short time period to find a house, so we had a couple days of intense house hunting.

Most importantly, a family member had recently passed and finding a place is Portland to bring everyone back together was of utmost importance. Although Eliane’s family is a very tight knit family, they had spread across the country as families often do. The ideal house for Elaine would have space for entertaining and room to become a central gathering place. We found the perfect house for this, a hub for family get togethers, future holidays, spoiling grandchildren and a place for the family to come together again. Such a perfect story for Thanksgiving!
