Oregon Home | 25 FOR JESSICA AND Jason Cain, the path to their dream home began on a quiet weekend afternoon, when a casual stop at an open house turned into a lifechanging conversation. With four young boys, the family had outgrown several Lake Oswego homes and were renting in Wilsonville, determined to return to the community they loved. They had long envisioned building a custom home, but during the uncertainty of the COVIDconstrained market, finding the right property felt daunting. Then came a chance encounter. At an open house for a new Renaissance home, they spotted a familiar face: Randy Sebastian, the company's founder and president. The couple didn’t know him personally, but they recognized him from the gym and knew of his prominent presence in the homebuilding world. They chatted for a bit, and during their conversation, Jessica shared how much she loved the stretch of land between Lake Oswego and West Linn along Rosemont Road. That part of the discussion brought a smile to Sebastian’s face. “I love something about Rosemont Road. It’s just so peaceful up there,” Jessica Cain says. “When I said that, Randy smiled and said, ‘Do you guys have a little bit of time? I think I might have something for you.’” What he had was a rare gem: a five-acre property on Rosemont Road, perfectly suited for a custom home. He even invited the family to his own home, showing them how he had preserved mature fir trees on his lot, blending natural beauty with thoughtful design. “It just all felt so good, and he had such a good way of explaining everything—and it was all because he just popped by the open house,” Cain says. “I’m such a believer of things happening for a reason. I feel like we chose Renaissance and Renaissance chose us.” What started as serendipity quickly became a seamless building experience. Founded in 1984, Renaissance Homes has earned its reputation as one of the region’s most recognized builders for over four decades. In recent years, Renaissance has expanded its expertise into custom homes, streamlining the building process for clients while delivering exceptional quality—something the Cains experienced firsthand.
