This is Part 2 of the Portland is Home Team talking to Taylor Kittell a Founding Partner at Breakwater Law whose mission is to enhance the lives of their clients by building and protecting their property and legacy.    

Taylor approaches the difficult issues of planning for death and incapacity as an educator: every person should not only have an estate plan, but they should also understand it. Estate planning is not just about making a will; it is about coordinating your financial life, protecting assets for your loved ones, and making difficult times easier for those around you. It’s about creating a legacy. Based on her professional experience, and as a daughter, a mother, a wife, and a friend, Taylor personally understands the complexities of family relationships. She strives to be practical and responsive while producing top-quality estate plans tailored to each client’s unique circumstances.

Greetings, everyone! We hope you have all made it through icepocolypse without much damage. If that is not the case and you haven’t reached out to us already, we are here and can help!  

As we usher in the month of February, there's a palpable sense of excitement in the air. Whether you're a prospective homebuyer, a seller gearing up for the market, or just someone curious about the local real estate trends, we are ready to help you! Here is what we love about Portland in February:

1. The Winter's Beauty in Portland

February graces Portland with its own unique charm. While the temperatures may be crisp, the city transforms into a picturesque lighted wonderland. We love exploring neighborhoods adorned with a light dusting of snow or the iconic bridges standing out against the gray and rainy skies. It's a great time to showcase the cozy aspects of your homes too, from fireplaces to warm and inviting interiors.

2. Valentine's Day Home Decor Ideas

Love is in the air, and what better way to express it than through your home decor? This month, consider incorporating Valentine's Day-inspired touches to create a warm and romantic atmosphere. From heart-shaped wreaths to candle-lit nooks, infuse a touch of love into your living spaces.

3. Winter-Friendly Neighborhoods

Explore the neighborhoods that truly shine during the winter months. From charming cafes to winter markets, discover the local spots that make Portland special this time of year.  

4. Tips for Winter Home Selling in Portland  

If you're planning to list your home this February, embrace the season and showcase your property's winter appeal. Illuminate outdoor spaces with tasteful lighting, keep walkways clear, and consider adding seasonal touches to make potential buyers feel right at home. We recommend power washing your front walkways, not just for curb appeal but also safety, for potential buyers walking up to your front door.
