The slogan "Everything under the Sun" certainly applies when you are talking about this magnificent Central Oregon area. The natural beauty, great climate, high quality of life and relative low cost of living provide a winning formula few places can match.

Bend Oregon and the surrounding Central Oregon region continue to receive glowing reviews in recent articles including *Cheap Places to Live Rich;* 50 Best Places to Live; *Top 10 Ski Resorts* and *Best Places to Retire*. This enthusiasm for the Central Oregon region has led to an unparalleled growth spurt in the Bend, Sunriver, Sisters and surrounding area real estate markets. However, despite all of the recent growth, the high desert region still maintains its friendly, laid back lifestyle and small town character.

Brad and I moved to Central Oregon 4+ years ago from Portland. We owned a vacation home in Sunriver and found our weekend getaways were becoming longer and longer vacations. We choose to leave the rat race for the quality of life Central Oregon offers. Soon after the move we became agents and have been investing in the Surniver and Three Rivers South areas.

Whether you are buying or selling, our primary goal is to provide relevant real estate knowledge and expertise that will enable you to make the right decisions when it comes to your real estate investments.

As active investors ourselves, we have first hand experience with vacation rental and second homes, remodeling "fixer-uppers", 1031 Exchanges and how to stage your home to sell for the highest possible price in the shortest amount of time. We are Sunriver homeowners and know the area well! We are living our dream-a Sunriver dream-please let us know how we can be of service in making your Sunriver-or anywhere in Central Oregon-real estate dream come true. Keep in mind that interest rates are still very low, more homes of all types are currently available and the long term market is sure to appreciate. Whether you are looking for your first home or a vacation home, it's a great time to buy.

Anything in the great outdoors. Why else would we live in Central Oregon. My main hobbies include Tennis, Hiking, Kayaking, Travel and Cooking. I am a girl scout troop leader, youth basketball coach and a member of the Sunriver, Oregon Chamber Board of Directors.
