Blog Stories Portland, it was a lifestyle choice

Portland, it was a lifestyle choice

By Yonette Fine, June 18, 2020

When my family and I moved from Marin Co., CA

in 2008 to Portland, it was a lifestyle choice. We had

grown weary of navigating the Bay Area with three young

kiddos and attempting to squeeze in occasional adult life

fun…dinners out, walks for 2, a shower.

 

When we had successfully landed in Portland, I used to

tell my friends and family back in CA that we had inadvertently

bought ourselves more life.

 

Now it’s 2020 and apparently, “buying yourself more life”

is still a desire, even if you don’t know it’s actually “a thing”.

Enter our Marin Co., CA friends with two  young kiddos, who just

can’t seem to settle into the Marin lifestyle . After a great conversation

about this feeling, and how it was a large part of the reason my

family had left Marin in 2008, these folks were ready to roll…all

the way up to Portland. 

 

With a wonderful real estate transaction behind us, and their 

new life in front of them, I know this family will find so much

more life here in Portland! Congratulations and thanks for allowing

me to guide you!
