I am beyond excited to celebrate the purchase of a brand new home in the Lowrie Estates community in Woodburn, Oregon.
From the start, finding the right fit was essential. As a blended family with six kids, space and comfort were top priorities, while a central location for commuting and staying connected with family mattered just as much. After an exciting search, everything came together in Lowrie Estates—a community where thoughtful design and everyday convenience meet.
In addition to its welcoming feel, this D.R. Horton community offers impressive features. Homes range from 1,467 to 2,547 square feet and include floor plans with up to five bedrooms and three bathrooms. Two-car garages add practicality, while select layouts offer an additional level for extra flexibility. On top of that, smart home technology supports modern living, and a 10-year limited warranty provides added peace of mind.
Inside the home, quality is immediately evident. High-end finishes set the tone, while the kitchen serves as a true gathering space. Solid-surface countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and a gas range make it ideal for both everyday meals and special occasions.
Just as important is the location. Conveniently situated near I-5 and Highway 214, the neighborhood allows for easy commuting and quick access to shopping at Woodburn Premium Outlets. Meanwhile, nearby parks such as Settlemier and Centennial make it easy to enjoy time outdoors.
Ultimately, this home offers more than just square footage. It provides room to grow, space to gather, and the foundation for years of shared memories.
Thank you for trusting me to be part of this exciting milestone. Wishing many years of laughter, connection, and joy in this beautiful new home.
Welcome home.

she/her
Originally from the Bay Area, Stephanie is a wife, mom of two, and daughter navigating the realities of aging parents. After moving more times than she can count, she became a professional problem-solver long before becoming a real estate broker.
As a transplant herself, Stephanie understands what it truly takes to uproot your life and start fresh in a new place. She and her husband have moved across the country—west to east, east back to west—and ultimately put down roots in Portland. They’ve relocated with kids, without kids, for work, for family, and in pursuit of a better quality of life. When they moved to Portland, they toured 30 homes in a single weekend, called school districts, mapped commutes, researched neighborhoods, and did everything possible to find the right place to land. Those experiences shaped Stephanie deeply, building resilience, resourcefulness, and a firsthand appreciation for the value of having a knowledgeable, supportive guide by your side.
Today, Stephanie brings that same clarity, empathy, and lived experience to her work as a Portland real estate broker, Certified Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA), Certified Staging Expert (CSE), and Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES). Caring for aging parents gives her a personal connection to her SRES training, allowing her to help older adults and their families navigate transitions with dignity, understanding, and confidence. Her PSA certification equips her to deliver data-driven pricing strategies and clear, thoughtful guidance at every stage. Stephanie believes a home is more than square footage—it’s where life is lived.
Before entering real estate, Stephanie built her career in people-centered roles, including hairstyling, pastry work, real estate administration, and transaction coordination. Each chapter strengthened her ability to listen deeply, anticipate needs, communicate clearly, and support people through meaningful life moments.
Whether clients are buying their first home, relocating to Portland, upsizing, downsizing, or preparing a longtime property for market, Stephanie approaches every goal with warmth, strategy, and a deeply service-driven mindset. She loves bringing people together—matching clients with the right home, neighborhood, resources, and even the perfect local coffee spot. As a Certified Staging Expert, she also helps sellers elevate their home’s presentation to maximize value and leave a lasting impression.
Outside of work, Stephanie enjoys hiking, yoga, exploring Portland’s food scene, thrifting, and adventuring with her family and their pit bull, Vince. Portland has given her a true sense of home, and she would be honored to help others find theirs.
