After taking some time for reflection and healing, we are thrilled to announce the continuation of Gorge Real Estate Talk. As many of you are aware, our beloved host and dear friend, Kimberly Salvesen, passed away on January 1st, 2023 after a courageous battle with Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Despite her diagnosis, Kim's indomitable spirit fueled her passion for the podcast and the real estate market. Initially created to keep our community members informed about the current state of the real estate market, the podcast evolved into a platform to spotlight local businesses and community programs.
In today's episode, our new host, Alisha Nightingale, chats with Rachel Broughton and Kim Chamness, the new owners of Windermere Real Estate Columbia River Gorge, about Kim's remarkable legacy and the seamless transition of ownership. Although Kim's loss remains a heavy burden on our hearts and minds, the Windermere family has come together in a beautiful way to keep her vision alive. During this episode, you will hear from some of Kim's closest friends and colleagues about her inspiring impact as a mentor, a friend, and a pioneer in the real estate industry.

"OUR CALLING is to consider each project holistically, by designing spaces that reflect both functionality and each client’s specific aesthetic, the landscape, and as well as their budgetary goals.
OUR VISION is formed by a deep respect for nature and our landscape coupled with an appreciation for clean, fine lines and a modern, fresh twist.
OUR MASTERY comes from over ten years of experience designing for both international and domestic markets. We not only curate the materials and finishes needed to achieve your goals but also provide meticulously detailed drawing packages for your build team to implement on site.
OUR PROCESS is the same for every project regardless of scope and size. Design is intimate--a reflection of who we are and how we interact in our near environment. This makes the process dynamic and responsive as we tackle each projects unique set of needs. We consider each project in its entirety, from inside and out, to ensure careful consideration as you move from space to space. We realize that in order to ensure the successful implementation of your space’s design, we must be present and engaged in all phases of planning and construction. We love to see each project through the final touches.

"As Executive Director, Beatriz is responsible for ensuring SafeSpace fulfills its mission to reduce trauma to child victims of abuse through multidisciplinary evaluation and advocacy in a safe and healing environment. With a BS in Social Work, Beatriz brings more than 20 years of working with children in various capacities.
She is passionate about the work SafeSpace does in the Gorge Community, and committed to providing the highest quality services to every child who comes to SafeSpace.
Beatriz gets really excited when the team is able to bring CAC services to new communities. She feels rewarded when a child leaves SafeSpace relieved they finally were able to tell their story, and someone was there to listen. She really likes the fact that SafeSpace has such a wonderful team to work with and great community partners that come together to help a child that has been abused.
When Beatriz isn’t advocating on behalf of kids, you’ll find her doing calming activities like knitting and reading, or active out on the water SUPing or kayaking. Her side passion is raising Scottish Highland miniature cattle!"
