Buying a house in a competitive market is always a challenge. It can be a roller coaster ride with big emotional swings in every direction. For my client Ruth it was no different. We had to write 4 offers before we finally got one to stick. The first 3 were all great houses, but the 4th was the best for a variety of reasons the most important being that it was “done”.
Along the way it always feels like you are never going to win. But if you persist…you’ll always get an offer accepted. Just ask Ruth! As an agent I am keenly aware of the energy and love that goes into each offer. By asking the right questions of any listing agent, I can get a gauge of whether or not it is worth even trying to submit an offer. Certain properties are clearly out of reach and it is not worth draining the energy bank. It is important to keep an active measurement of how much energy you have as a buyer, because each offer draws a certain amount and you don’t want to deplete your reserves too quickly.
The Portland real estate market is hot, but if you stick with it, you can have your own little piece of it, I promise.

Principal Broker | OR
I arrived in the real estate business over a decade ago and have since helped scores of people buy and sell their homes.
The groundswell that I created in my practice is rooted in the relationships that I have nurtured over the years. My style is educational, and I see myself as the coach and leader of your real estate transaction. My coaching is geared towards empowering you to make informed decisions that will lead to your best possible outcome. I excel at asking the questions that get to the heart of the matter which in turn enables a smooth sale process.
Away from the office I am passionate about so many things, but it all begins and ends with my family. My boys are both in elementary school and parenting is an ongoing challenge and joy for my wife and I. We love to travel around Oregon, the East Coast, Mexico and beyond. My passion for surfing, kiteboarding, and fishing help to keep me grounded in life.
