In my initial buyer consultation meetings, I talk a lot about four real estate fundamentals: location, lot size, total square footage and layout. The first two you cannot change and the second two are really difficult + expensive to alter. When I’m out touring with buyers, I find that some have the vision to see past needed updates and others don’t. There is a lot of VALUE in having solid fundamentals; we can work around everything else.
Apparently, the buyers touring Saint Johns homes in mid-March of 2021 lacked the vision to see past the 80’s style of this amazing property. All buyers except for one group that is: my clients Adrien & Sean. The house that they just closed on is absolutely amazing! Double lot: 100’ x 100’, almost 4,000 square feet of living space, a super-family-friendly-layout and located a short bike or walk to all that the neighborhood has to offer without the traffic noise of N Lombard. The house only got one good offer from them. Yes, it needs some work, but it will be shining in short order and they’ll have years to grow into it with their family.
Even in this crazy market of multiple offers and insane terms, there are opportunities out there if you have the vision and you are willing keep your eyes + mind open.

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.
