OK, I'll admit it, I was born and raised until I was 11 in the UK, Leicester, England to be specific. So like most all Brits, I love dogs. Recently, I was working with some buyers who were moving to Portland Oregon from out of state because of the way of life, cost less to live in Portland Oregon, the schools are better and as they put it and as they continued to say, "Family Friendly and lot's of dog parks! In fact, Portland even has it's own dog park site (www.portlandpooch.com/dogparks.htm)This site includes a map of all the sites. As we were driving around Beaverton Oregon, Tigard Oregon and Hillsboro Oregon. All they kept saying was, look, there is another park, there is that school I looked up on the internet that had a great report card and good scores. They were so excited to find a home that was priced $20,000 lower than they were ready to pay, in better condition, in a better location and had a bigger backyard than they were expecting to get! Needless to say, we wrote an offer for a few thousand dollars below the asking price, asked for the appliances to stay, the seller accepted it, it closes in 27 days. Both the buyer and seller are very excited! But most of all their dog will be when he gets to visit Gabriel Park dog park (www.portlandpooch.com/dogparks/gabriel.htm)
