Patricia LoCascio

What you get: Unmatched enthusiasm, limitless curiosity, continued commitment, and an unparalleled team. What I do: I am a deeply committed Realtor, a messy painter, an amateur woodworker, a decent knitter, a (very) lazy homeschooler, an intentional cook, an avid soil resuscitator, and a practicing (and stumbling) Buddhist. How I got here: Growing up in New Orleans, moving to Kansas City at 18, living there for 18 more years, I assumed I was just a nomad. I felt like home would always be temporary and I’d always be happiest “in transit”. But Portland has taught me a very important lesson; I was never a nomad, I’d just never been home. This region, this state, and especially this city mean so very much to me. I am raising my children here and growing my food here. I’ve met friends and family alike in this town’s neighbors. This is where I live, this is where I work, this is where I love. Who I love: my partner my sister (it’s gross, y’all) bell hooks Robin Wall Kimmerer Sheri Huber Thich Nhat Hanh Nina Simone Nick Drake You
