2021 has a been a year of many challenges. The pandemic has been in full swing for far too long, my family has experienced more than its share of loss, and the world seems to have gone nuts. Despite all that, it's been a good year.

The family business, Beaver Pumice, is going well. My husband's many business endeavors with FairCosa are keeping him busy and making him happy. I'm starting to settle in to life in Southern Oregon. What better time to open a real estate brokerage? The market is at a historic high, with historically low interest rates and more people are working from home than even dreamed about in recent years. That work from home ethos has given people the flexibility to move to where their heart takes them. I'm looking forward to being able to help them settle in as well.
