Hot Market, Cool Home

By Annalisa Peña, December 13, 2021

Making energy efficient improvements to your home makes it more comfortable and increases its value! Adding insulation to attics, crawlspaces, and around ducting keeps your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter, conserving natural resources and making your space more enjoyable.

A high Home Energy Score can take a home from rags to riches because those improvements are going to lend their benefits to the property for years to come. My client recently invested in multiple energy saving elements at 209 SE 90th, and the home went from a 2 to 10/10 on the Home Energy Report! Upgrades include ductless heating and cooling, insulation, and double-pane windows. That’s a win!

She/Her

A Portland native, my vast knowledge of the city’s geography and current market can support you in your residential real estate endeavors.

I am motivated by helping others, and I’m excited to help you find the best real estate solution for your lifestyle. My passion and years of experience in interior design and home renovation offer you a skilled perspective in aesthetics and function. I will actively advocate for and represent you with the best service, ensure that you are making the right decision, and manage your transaction and moving pieces with the utmost professionalism. I attended Oregon State University and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Merchandising Management and Interior Design. After spending 8 years in the window treatment industry (blinds and drapery will always have a special place in my heart!), I launched my real estate career. I work with a wide variety of clients, from first time home buyers to investors and those relocating to Portland. Design work allows my creative spirit to roam and I was honored to be featured in Oregon Home magazine. I chose to work at Living Room Realty because of their dedication to enriching communities across the Portland area, and I’m so happy that I get to build relationships with clients right here at home. In my downtime, you can find me at my kid’s soccer game, helping paint a neighborhood intersection, or sneaking away to Black Butte for a weekend at the cabin.
