Glenn and I are an active, outgoing married couple, recent empty nesters with our primary home in the SF Bay (city of Saratoga). We bought our second home in Bend 6 years ago and have absolutely enjoyed our time there. We want to branch out to other states and countries so we hope swapping this home will make that happen. We are also open to swapping our home in Saratoga.
