Eugene, Oregon I'm your "Go To" Gal

Eugene/Springfield is a wonderful place to live, and Karen Church, the Eugene Homes Gal at http://www.eugenehomesgal.com - your"Go To Gal" for all of your real estate needs! Are you relocating, buying, or selling a home in the Eugene, Oregon area? Welcome to my blog, a place I hope you return to again and again for updates on everything from community events to information on our exciting housing market. If you are looking for fun, action, arts, or recreation, the Emerald City has it all!

I moved to Eugene 24 years ago as a freshman at the University of Oregon. I was recruited to Oregon Ducks Women's Track and Field Team and spent four wonderful years competing in middle distance in meets all over the country. When I graduated with my elementary teaching degree, I knew I had found my home, and I've been here ever since. I taught 3rd and 5th grade in Bethel public schools for 17 years, competing in track post-collegiately most of that time, and then I had an exciting opportunity to enter the world of real estate.

While I miss the kids and the joy of helping young minds learn and grow in the classroom, I have found in real estate a very similar joy in helping people purchase their first place, sell as the plans for their lives take new directions, or buy the home of their dreams. I look forward to being that person you can count on to guide you through the process, give you the benefits of my expertise not only in local real estate but in this vibrant, eclectic community as well. For news on the dynamic housing market as well as community events and activities, make this your "go to" site and me, Karen Church, the Eugene Homes Gal, your "Go To Gal!"
