Navigating the Portland real estate scene can feel like a maze, especially in these uncertain times. That’s why the Bridge to Portland Group and Julee Felsman with Guaranteed Rate are here to shed some light on the path to your dream home, no matter where that path might lead.

Join us on Thursday, February 1st from 5:30-7:00 pm at our SE Portland Living Room Realty office (421 SE 10th Ave) for a free home buying workshop that will help you determine whether buying a home is the right move now, later, or maybe even never.
