We’ve lived in 9 different homes during our 25 years of marriage, and each one was perfect in its own way. We’ll never forget the summer nights we slept on the main floor of our first home, a cute Northeast Portland bungalow. There was no roof on the second floor as we added our master en suite, as well as a nursery for our first child. It has been a journey and a joy to come to the realization that what we both truly love is renovating homes, and watching the transformation of each project.

Our first house in Bend was a 90’s builder-grade home, and Derrick took on the bulk of renovating it himself, from demo to installing new flooring, painting and carpentry to a major kitchen remodel — and much more! We’re still working on it as we write this, and it’ll be a work in progress for several years as we continue to upgrade one room at a time.

Clouz Houz was founded on our love of residential real estate, and on the desire to bring years of personal experience with our own home projects to clients and potential buyers. We invested in our first Bend investment project in 2021. It sold three days on market over asking price. There were bumps in the road for sure (delays, supply chain issues, pandemic, etc.), as there usually are with any project, but we learned from it all and kept on trucking. That’s how we roll!

Follow along with us on this crazy journey of triumphs, errors, laughs, headaches, tears and lots and lots of fun on the way as we lovingly tackle one project at a time. We would love to work with you!
