Bringing authenticity into real estate is my calling- I love to engage with new people and listen carefully to their needs and goals, then throw all my energy into helping to achieve them! I am known for my knowledge of the market and my ability to educate and listen carefully, although my secret superpower is that I remember every house I’ve seen (which is a lot).
Originally from Olympia, Washington, I moved to Portland in 2004. Prior to real estate, I had a successful career running my own businesses and helping other entrepreneurs run theirs. I have worked in all parts of Portland, and I love to recommend restaurants, cafes and local businesses around town. I treasure the relationships I have built locally. My business is referral based, so I see the city as a map of meaningful connections with people I care about. I love working with buyers & sellers to give them the highest quality of service, from home search or staging walk-through, to offer negotiation or review, to managing repairs, to closing. Through the years I have met many great inspectors and contractors. I am happy to connect you along the way. It takes many people to make a great experience in real estate and I am your dedicated advisor!
If you have questions about neighborhoods, the real estate market, buying or selling a house etc, let’s sit down and talk. My aim is to establish trust and serve you with warmth and attentive communication. My passion for Portland and my eternal optimism keep me motivated, and my attention to detail keeps everything on track. I love to engage with new people and listen carefully to their needs and goals, then throw all my energy into helping to achieve them!
When I’m not going gaga over classic wood molding or a permitted half bathroom (swoon), you’ll find me listening to records and enjoying the natural beauty we are so lucky to be surrounded by. Currently, I live in St. John’s with my daughter and husband - we are adventurers who love gardening and eating ice cream together.
