From Reno to Portland in 33 days.

From Reno to Portland in 33 days.

Matt and Eliese found out in mid-September that due to the wonders of digital communication, they could move anywhere they want and keep their jobs, working mostly remotely. Of course, being connoisseurs of our beloved Portland, they chose to move back here where I originally met them over 12 years ago.

They had already done a lot of online research and had identified neighborhoods they hope to live in. On October 8th they came to town and we begin our search. 7 houses, 20,912 ft.², 25 bedrooms and 21 baths later, we we’re back to the one that was their original favorite. A lovely five bedroom, four bath Old Portland Craftsmen in the Creston Kenilworth neighborhood.

We made the offer on October 9, closed on November 6th and they move in this weekend. And the bonus round? Not only will they be back in Portland, they will be less than 25 blocks from me. Welcome home Matt, Eliese & Gemma!
