with Graham Farran

Welcome to Discovering Southern Oregon, your inside guide to the hidden gems, local experiences, outdoor adventures, and unforgettable places that make Southern Oregon one of the most beautiful and unique regions in the Pacific Northwest.

Created by Graham Farran, Discovering Southern Oregon was built from years of exploring the region, building community connections, and helping people find their place in Southern Oregon through Expert Properties, the real estate and property management company he proudly owns and operates alongside Gayle Pobuda.

Together, Graham and Gayle lead a dedicated team of wonderful agents who are passionate about serving the Southern Oregon community through real estate, vacation rentals, property management, and local partnerships.

This page is more than a travel guide. It is a local resource created by people who live, work, and explore here every day. Graham shares the places, businesses, events, adventures, and hidden treasures that make Southern Oregon so special, from historic Jacksonville and the Applegate Valley to Crater Lake, local wineries, outdoor recreation, restaurants, concerts, and scenic destinations.

Whether you are visiting for the weekend, staying at Jacksonville Cottages and Suites, searching for your dream home, or wanting to experience Southern Oregon like a local, Discovering Southern Oregon helps connect you to the very best the region has to offer.
