Referred to us by 3 past clients, we knew it was destiny to serve these new buyers. They had the means to buy more house than they needed so it became clear our job was to find the right flow and connection to a house to call home, without buying a mansion. It didn’t take long for Robin & Elliot to find an awesome home that uniquely fits their needs. Congratulations!

Lead Buyers Agent
Oregon is where Jessica’s heart lies. Born and raised in Portland, Jessica grew up in Concordia and bought her first home in North Portland in 1996. She was seduced by the front porch of a 1920’s bungalow and as a young 20 year old there were so many factors she did not know to take into consideration when choosing her home. After 5 years of restoring the home, it was time to move and the seed had been planted – her love of restoring homes was born. It took a few more projects and years for her to make the choice to enter Real Estate. In 2006 she got her license and set out to empower people with information and encourage inquiry beyond the basic needs in a home, which was something she wished was provided to her when she bought her first home. As her Real Estate career developed she found joy in helping buyers the most, which led her to specialize in buyer representation.
Jessica loves helping buyers consider all angles, future needs, and possible roadblocks in a home. Her goal is to empower a buyer with choices and to consider the unchangeable elements of a home to better ensure many years of happiness in their new home. Buying right is the most important factor to protecting your investment and she takes this very seriously, which is why helping buyers eliminate homes in order to get to the right one is her top priority. She believes wholeheartedly in the power of investing in real estate. She brings this wealth of technical housing knowledge, intimate familiarity with the city, and investment experience to her counsel for homebuyers, but it is her commitment to buyer advocacy (and seeing the impact this has on people's lives) that most inspires her and has kept her engaged and in love with her job after all these years.

Buyers Agent
As someone who loves community, good food, and time spent outdoors, I’m proud to help others find their place here in the Pacific Northwest. I specialize in working with first-time home buyers, those looking to navigate purchasing a home while needing to sell their current, and folks exploring creative real estate investment avenues—like rentals and other income-generating properties.
For my clients, I bring a deep understanding of the Portland market, and click particularly well with those who may appreciate a patient, data-driven, low-pressure approach.
I attended Milwaukie High School (Mustang bred!) and stayed local to attend Oregon Health & Science University-Portland State University’s School of Public Health. There, I attended the Honors College and obtained my B.S. in Applied Health and Fitness. I loved my studies at university (and still incredibly passionate about all things health & wellness), but my part-time job as a leasing agent opened my eyes to the world of Property Management and Real Estate — and I was hooked. From there, I spent a few years in property management and then obtained my real estate license. Having grown up in Milwaukie, Oregon, and now living in Portland, I bring local expertise and a love for this area to every interaction.
With a blend of real estate know-how, Airbnb/Property Management experience, and a genuine passion for helping others, I’m excited to guide you through your Portland real estate journey. When I’m not meeting with clients, you’ll find me exploring the outdoors, caring over my houseplants, or at the gym (my primary outlet for stress!!).
At Living Room Realty, I’m fortunate to work alongside a team of quality agents who reflect the best the industry has to offer. With the support of decades of committed experience, the clients we represent feel supported, educated, and advocated for. We are here to listen, answer questions, and provide honest, thoughtful guidance—whether you’re buying your first home, making a smart investment, or simply exploring your options.

Buyer Operations Manager
When I first joined our team in 2019, I had been feeling dispirited about real estate. I'd been a realtor for several years and had a strong desire to find increased meaning within an industry that didn't always reflect my values. The thing that kept me returning to real estate despite this was the zing of happiness I felt when I helped clients through the home-buying process and witnessed them on the other end having accomplished a dream or otherwise been empowered. To me, the role of a realtor is one of stewardship. I am proud to be on this team because the level of informed honesty, ethical counsel, and all-around excellence we offer is truly unparalleled in this industry.
Working as the Operations Manager on our buyer team means I get to focus on all my favorite parts of the job. I'm hyper-attentive to detail and delight in tending to nuance; transparency and communication are critical. If you are at ease knowing the train is running smoothly, and if I answer your questions (maybe even before you've thought of them), then I've done my job well. I'm an introspective person and I view my sensitivity as a strength. I enjoy listening and taking the time to thoughtfully respond so we can move through the home-buying process with intention together. I think searching for a home is about identifying your fundamental values and assessing how the decision you make about where you live can best support the life you want to lead.
On the more personal side, when I'm not working, I'm probably writing or thinking about language. Give me a stack of good books and I'm happy. I'm a creative thinker and a maker - I love great design and discovering new outlets for expression. I don't ever want to stop learning. Putting my hands in dirt is just about the most invigorating thing I can think of, and my little garden is my sanctuary. I like to dance at home so freely that it makes other people laugh. I love to sing. I freaking love my family.
