Charlie Harris.

Last week, my friend Charlie Harris from Favored Homes, LLC stopped by the Varsity Real Estate office to say hello and hand off some business cards. I’ve known Charlie for many years, watched him build a tiny house, tackle an airplane engine rebuild, and have seen his successful transition into the home remodeling and construction space. Charlie is a trusted expert and makes getting to work on your project simple and easy. Check out the before and after pictures of a recent kitchen upgrade!

What’s the going rate? For about $100 (an hour or less) Charlie can tackle any small project, his rates go up from there, based on the size and scope of your project. As a licensed contractor, Charlie can strategize any home project or remodel scenario with you. If you’re looking for a trusted handyman or project manager, Charlie is the person you need to call.

The Varsity Fox is a playful and athletic-inspired mascot. Easily distinguished from a crowd, and always noticed from afar. I once spent 45 minutes on Broken Top watching a fox patiently, and persistently, with care, dig for his dinner; a small rodent he pulled out of the ground. What a meal! All that digging paid off, the fox knew what was in the ground. Our team and I know the Bend and Central Oregon Real Estate Market - let us get to work for you on finding or selling your home!

My contact info on full display!

I look forward to talking with you.

Bend, Oregon, is one of the best places to get outside and fish, offering a variety of fishing spots for anglers of all levels. For kids under 18 years old Shevlin Pond or Pine Nursery are easily accessible.

The Deschutes River, which runs right through Bend, is one of the most popular spots for fly fishing. Sawyer Park off O.B. Reilly has some fun, but tricky holes. It’s close to town and quick to get there.

If you’re looking for a lake fishing spot, Sparks Lake and Cultus Lake are just a short drive from Bend and are perfect for a relaxing day of fishing. Bring your small boat or paddleboard. Both lakes are known for their bass, trout, and bluegill, making them great options for beginners or families looking to enjoy a day by the water.

If you’re into fly fishing, the Fall River is another must-visit location near Bend. Known for its crystal-clear waters and steady flow, this river offers incredible opportunities to catch rainbow trout from a hatchery. If you are there on the right day, you might even see the ODFW transport truck unloading fish (this happened to my friends Mike, Tommy, and I, we each caught 30+ fish that day!). These fish right off the back of the ODFW truck look and act like the zombie creatures from Will Smith’s NYC-based film I am Legend, no joke. Despite the crazy ass fish, Fall River is a peaceful, beautiful spot to spend the day immersed in nature, with the sound of flowing water and the quiet hum of nature all around you. If you’re lucky, you’ll also see bald eagles swooping for fish. Link to Fall River, there are three great fishing spots from the hatchery to the guard station, to the campground.

Let’s go fishing together! We can fish the river by my house, zip over to Sawyer Park (5 min drive), or jump in the car and bomb down to the Fall River (38 min). If you have time and are interested in a longer, lingering Deschutes fishing experience below warm springs or the lower Deschutes, I’d be happy to connect you with a guide.
