I’ve talked clients out of buying or selling before…and I’d do it again. Because a home should move you toward your goals, not away from them. Before making a move, let’s look at the big picture: your priorities, the market, and what truly makes sense long-term.

This living room transformation proves that simple, intentional choices can completely redefine a space. Painted in Simply White by Benjamin Moore, with refinished original fir floors, lighting from Globe Lighting, and Amerock hardware throughout, every detail was thoughtfully selected during the design process to create a bright, timeless feel. If you’re planning a remodel, steal this look, these specs are as classic as they come. Design collaboration by @opaldesigngroup, @4mconstruction, and @robbinsrealtygroup. #portlandhomes #portlandhomerenovation #pdxhomemakeover #portlandinteriors #homeglowuppdx #portlandbeforeandafter

When people move to Lake Oswego, they often think it’s all about the beautiful homes, top schools, and proximity to Portland. But what makes people stay? Morning walks by the lake.
Cafe’s where they know your name.
A downtown that still feels small-town.
Easy access to trails, parks, and water.
Neighbors who look out for each other.
Weekends that unfold without a plan.
That perfect balance of calm and convenience.
A community that feels connected, grounded, and proud to call this place home. If you’re thinking about calling Lake Oswego home, this is what it’s really like to live here... not just visit. Comment “GUIDE” below and I’ll send you my Lake Oswego City Guide with all my local favorites ↓ 👋 I’m Heather @robbinsrealtygroup — your Lake Oswego real estate agent sharing what makes this city one of the best places to live in Oregon.

There’s something about Pacific City, the quiet stretch of beach, the sunset glow, and the bald eagle that sometimes walks right along the shore near its nest. 🌅 It’s simple, beautiful, and everything I love about Oregon. #pacificcityoregon #oregoncoast #oregonlife #exploreoregon #oregonrealtor

Less is more… especially when selling your home! 👏 Think of it as pre-moving day prep: take it to the dump, donate what you don’t need, and pack up the rest. Your future self (and your listing photos) will thank you. 📦📸
