FOUDATIONS

As a Real Estate Broker in Portland, Oregon, I’ve learned a lot about foundations in my time in this business. River rock concrete, modern concrete, pony-walls, post & pier…I know all the words. “Foundation” is such a metaphor for so many things in life. Honestly, we’ve been having a lot of trouble at home with our soon-to-be-13 year old and I’ve been concerned A LOT about his foundation. He is a great human but is going to have issues with his work ethic and relationship with “truth” if he stays on his current path. Whenever I meet new friend and/or clients, those first few interactions will tell you a lot about their foundation.

When I met my client Miles in 2020, it was obvious that his parents raised him well. In a world of materialism and low-self-esteem he comes off as humble and quietly confident. Our home search was an adventure. Miles knew what he wanted and was willing to be patient until there was the right opening to take his shot. After a handful of offers we got one to stick on a house that is a perfect fit for his needs. He literally worked his way through some ACTUAL foundation issues on the house to land on an acceptable outcome. I’m super-excited to hand off the keys tomorrow and to see how he grows into this place over the years. I’m taking a wild guess here, but I BET he is the first one of friend group to own his own home. Here’s to a solid foundation.

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. Read more reviews
