Relocating to the Portland Metro Area?
"Relocating from Hawaii to Oregon, with no prior knowledge of the area seemed like a daunting challenge. Not so, thanks to Patrick! From the moment I saw his website I felt confident in his abilities. Not only was his website very user-friendly, it was informative and intelligently compiled. As a life-long resident of Oregon, his knowledge of the area was unsurpassed. His site promised that each e-mail or phone call would be promptly returned and it was true. With the thorough research Patrick and I did in advance, my husband and I were able to select our dream house on the very first day of house-hunting. Patrick is a pro at real estate!"

Through countless home showings, sometimes at last minute notice, Patrick offered sound advice without ever being pushy.

- What do the local schools offer in academics, athletics and extra-curricular activities? Is there capacity in the schools to support expected growth?
- Are there any political issues - such as annexations, bond measures or local taxes being considered? Will your community reflect your family's values and priorities, or will it contrast them?
- How far is a certain neighborhood from downtown, the beach and the mountains?
- What will your daily commute look like? Is there suitable transportation infrastucture to accommodate planned growth?
I offer relocation clients:
- Digital Accessibility: I answer e-mail immediately and thoroughly. If you need a school report, property details, CC&R's, driving distance to work, places of worship or recreation - I do the legwork and get back to you right away. If you read or heard something about a neighborhood and want more clarification or information - call or e-mail me for a candid discussion. I am always available.
- Preview services: When you're out-of-town, you often rely on a few grainy photos and truncated descriptions to determine what you would like to see. I can take the guesswork out of the process by previewing homes when necessary - making a site visit and photographing the property to give you greater perspective into not only the good - but the bad that the listing agent may not want you to see. I can also facetime or otherwise video conference you during the preview for instant feedback.
- New construction expertise: There are dozens of prolific developers in the area; Stone Bridge, Pacific Lifestyle, Timberline, Polygon, DR Horton, Holt Homes, and more. Many of these homes are not even listed in the RMLS. I know the best developments and understand each's reputation for quality and value. Many offer great buying opportunity - others offer good reasons to look elsewhere.
- No hassle research: Educating yourself on the lifestyle your family can expect is an important part of the job hunt. I am happy to work with you prior to a decision to move - to help you make that decision more confidently.
Investment Property & 1031 Exchange
- 1031 Exchange: I'm experienced in multi-family tax-deferred exchanges, making sure we find an investment with the highest rate of return in the most rentable areas of town, spending the bre-minimum required to eliminate your capital gains tax liability.
