Welcome to Portland!

With all their children on the West coast, my clients were ready to make the move from Nashville. They fell in love with Portland and during their visits here we toured several beautiful homes. This architecturally rich Laurelhurst home was the perfect fit.

From the light filled living spaces to updated amenities, this home is perfect for hosting their family during the holidays. The northeast location is absolutely ideal, close to restaurants and grocery stores, and I am thrilled to welcome these new Portlanders to the Rose City!

Tri-level on Tremont

Posted on by Living Room Realty

It’s always a pleasure to help someone buy their first home but it’s the ultimate compliment when they reach out again to buy their second house! This was the case with my recent client. I helped him purchase a townhome in Hillsboro a few years ago and when he was ready to move into a larger space, I was honored that he reached out again.

In the years since he purchased his first home, he had met someone and his job situation had changed. Now he was looking for more room and a better location. After searching throughout the westside, we found this updated tri-level home in Southwest Portland. With plenty of room inside and out for entertaining and proximity to his work, this home was exactly what they were hoping for. Congratulations, it’s been a pleasure helping you find your perfect home, twice!
