HOW CAN PORTLAND FLOATING HOMES HELP YOU?
Before the launch of PortlandFloatingHomes.com in the Summer of 2018, most of the information about floating homes was passed by word of mouth and many floating home owners, buyers, and sellers stumbled while trying to chart their own course through floating home ownership, making costly mistakes along the way.
As a service to those who are part of the floating home communities in which we live and appreciate, and in hopes of saving you time, stress, and money, we have taken the wealth of information we have gained from our first-hand experiences with floating homes over the decades and created the first-and-only, truly comprehensive, and regularly-updated, definitive online floating home resource for your benefit.
