It Didn't Sell

Sixteen years ago Heather Garrett moved to Corbett with her husband, Brad. Heather says she "stumbled across" their current home and property while Brad was in Sunriver. Knowing this was "the one," she called Brad. He encouraged her to go ahead and make an offer if she felt that strongly. Not having seen the house himself, Brad trusted Heather. Today there are no regrets! They made the move from Troutdale and are now raising daughter Delanie, age 15 and Mac, age 5 in the Corbett community. Heather has been involved at the schools as a volunteer, helped out with Corbett Children's Theatre, and also Corbett Youth Sports. She loves the people of the community and the fact that folks look out for each other's kids. Heather says that having a full-time job with Multnomah County as a HR analyst is not easy, and she loves coming home to peace and tranquility as well as privacy. Ten years ago they thought they would sell to move closer to Brad's job in Wilsonville. They put the home up for sale and it did not sell. Heather says that she is SO thankful that it did NOT bring a buyer! When Heather was in the fourth grade, her parents both took a teaching position in Australia. The entire family made the move for just six months. Heather laughs that everyone, both parents and the three kids, all got too homesick for the states and moved back. "Short but sweet."
