Keys for Baby

I met Emily over the summer at a birthday Pedal Lounge party. Despite being very pregnant, Emily cycled like a pro. A few weeks later I heard from Emily’s parents, Kathleen and Greg, who were in town visiting from Colorado and excitedly awaiting the birth of their first grand baby.

The call of the Pacific Northwest.

The lifestyle that brings young families to the Pacific Northwest is also attractive to retirees. In real estate world, we see a lot of grandparents move across the country so they can spend time with their children and grandchildren, and celebrate their retirement years in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

This was case for the Kathleen and Greg. One of their sons, Ian, wanted to invest in Portland real estate and Kathleen was planning to be the infant daycare plan for Emily’s baby. The goal was to find a house by they time Emily’s maternity leave was over.

Welcoming baby home.

Fast forward a bit, and a beautiful baby was born. As October rolled around, it was time for Emily to return to work. I spent two marathon days touring with Ian and Kathleen. The first house I showed them was the one! Don’t worry, I showed them 10 more just to prove that first house was perfect.
