Happiest birthday to my girl, Allison Hamill!

ONE POST JUST WASN'T ENOUGH!

We’ve told you how much Allison does for our office—but that’s only a small part of why we love her. This is the Allison we’re fortunate enough to know. ❤️

“Allison, what would we do without you? We’d be messy, unorganized, slightly dazed, and quite possibly adrift! Thank you for keeping our ducks in a row—even when some of us insist on wandering off. You are so much more than a team member! You are a great co****le player (we think?), a dedicated mama, a baker of tasty treats, and Auntie Allison. You are smart, sweet, kind, funny, and truly an MVP of The Dream Team. We’re so lucky to have you!”
—Shawna

“Allison is a dynamic woman! She is organized, fun, caring, creative, and classy. Having her as my assistant blesses my professional life every day, but having her as my friend is the true gift. Happiest of birthdays, my pal!”
—Amanda

“Allison is the perfect example of a ‘kind soul.’ I mean, really, who else has squirrels feeling safe enough to take peanuts out of their hand? Only Allison. Happy Birthday!”
—Randy

The best way to understand Allison is through the little things: Max the office squirrel waiting for his daily peanuts, every four-legged visitor immediately finding a friend, and the way her face lights up when she talks about her sweet Addy Mae. She is fiercely loyal, always up for an adventure, and has a rare way of making people feel accepted exactly as they are.

Her kind, peaceful presence is occasionally interrupted by the unmistakable CRASH of Allison dropping something—but even that has become part of what we love about her. 😂

Her twin brother may share her birthday, but all of us get to share the gift of knowing her. The people in this office honestly, wholeheartedly, and without reservation love you, Allison—not simply for everything you do, but for the wonderful person you are.

Happy Birthday! Asking us to keep this short never stood a chance. 🎉❤️

Join me in loving on the world’s best assistant today!

Today we’re celebrating someone who keeps our office—and all of us—running a little more smoothly. We asked our brokers to share what they love and appreciate about Allison. We requested “short,” but apparently there’s just too much to say! ❤️

“Allison is amazing! She keeps us all organized and motivated—which is no easy job. She deserves all the best wishes! Happy Birthday, beautiful lady!”
—Holly

“Behind every smooth day, every solved problem, and every success, Allison is usually there. Her kindness, compassion, honesty, and grace shine through in everything she does. We are incredibly lucky to know her and better because she’s here. Happy Birthday, Allison!”
—Cassie

“Thank you for all of your hard work, dedication, and for always helping keep everything running smoothly. I truly appreciate all that you do and am so grateful to have you on my team. Wishing you a day filled with joy and a year full of happiness. Happy Birthday, Allison!”
—Alma

“Allison is the MVP of the office! She is also the first person people see when they walk through our doors, and she treats her job, coworkers, and clients with the utmost respect and professionalism. The office wouldn’t be the same without you! Happy Birthday!”
—Cody

If you’ve ever wondered how our office keeps moving forward, now you know: There’s usually an Allison behind it. Happy Birthday to our one-of-a-kind office MVP! 🎉

My marketing department is just me, and clearly no one is supervising.

The cease and desist is probably already in the mail, but in the meantime, remember that I'm NEVER too busy for your referrals. 😉

Tucked away just north of Elgin, this private 7.46-acre retreat offers sweeping views of the Grande Ronde Valley and the Elkhorn Mountains, where every window seems to frame a different postcard-worthy scene.

Built in 2007, the custom 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers more than 1,800 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, but what truly sets it apart is its second-to-none quality of care. From the immaculate condition to the meticulous maintenance throughout, it's evident this home has been cherished from day one.

Life here moves at a different pace. Spend your mornings watching deer and wild turkey wander through the pines, while ducks and other waterfowl make themselves at home on the peaceful pond. Inside, the living room captures panoramic mountain and valley views that change beautifully with every season, while the wood stove creates the kind of warmth that turns winter evenings into something to look forward to.

Outside, the amenities continue with a fully insulated and finished 24' x 36' shop, abundant parking for RVs, trailers, and recreational toys, cross-fenced acreage, a garden shed, expansive decking, and plenty of room to explore, relax, or simply enjoy the quiet.

If you've been searching for privacy, quality craftsmanship, and a property that feels like your own piece of Eastern Oregon, this is one you'll want to experience in person.

Welcome to Pond Paradise, where every turn invites you to slow down and stay awhile, and everyday life feels a little more like a weekend away.

Tucked at the end of a private drive, this extraordinary 3,200-square-foot retreat offers the kind of lifestyle that's becoming increasingly rare. The 3-acre mill pond becomes your own backyard escape, complete with a private dock for fishing, swimming, or simply watching the water catch the last light of day. Just beyond the shoreline, wood-fired soaking tubs overlook the water, creating an experience that feels less like home and more like your favorite boutique retreat.

Built in 2006, the home balances timeless comfort with effortless functionality. 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and light-filled gathering spaces provide room to live beautifully every day. The sunroom offers a front-row seat to every season, while the spacious primary suite features a generous walk-in closet and a welcome sense of privacy. Brand-new central air, forced-air propane heat, a solar-assisted hybrid water heater, a standard septic system, and a private well that produced an impressive 30 gpm when drilled bring lasting confidence to the home's performance.

The newly finished walk-out lower level is every bit as refined as the main floor. A beautifully appointed second primary suite with its own walk-in closet and ensuite bath, an additional living area, and private exterior access create exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, long-term guests, a private apartment, or simply giving everyone room to spread out in comfort.

Beyond the home, the property continues to unfold. A greenhouse, multiple versatile outbuildings, and a substantial 33' x 50' mechanic's shop create space for passions, projects, and possibility. Then there's the historic mill, a place rich with character and purpose. Over the years, it has hosted weddings, dinners, dances, and celebrations, proving that some buildings aren't simply preserved, they're lived in. A celebration in the old mill. Lazy afternoons on the dock. Coffee in the sunroom. These are the moments that become stories; this is the kind of home where life's chapters are written. Call today!
