I moved to Portland in 1989, and I've been a full-time Real Estate consultant here, serving the close-in urban neighborhoods since 1990. There is hardly a real estate-related situation I haven't been involved in in my three-plus decades in this market. Whether you're upsizing or downsizing, partnering or separating, seeking to invest in or divest from the market, accommodating the needs of a new or older family member, or buying for the first or fourth time, I can offer market insights and expertise tailored to your circumstances.

My belief that real estate is a public service as much as a career is what keeps me going. Purchasing and selling a home are exciting and serious undertakings, and, in most cases, where you may make your biggest financial decision. I know how important it is to feel accompanied and guided by a trusted professional. 

We have access to more data about the market than ever before–which is great–but the numbers don't tell us everything we need to know. My clients trust me to cut through the noise about the market and provide information relevant to their priorities so they can make the best decision for themselves. 

In every real estate transaction, there are so many aspects at play beyond price and location. Financing terms, when possession of the property happens, and the time allowed for decision-making are all up for negotiation. The Buyers I work with appreciate my ability to discern what's most important to them and show up as a resourceful consultant with relevant insights and expertise, ready to negotiate on their behalf while remaining neutral in the transaction. 

The sellers I work with benefit from my active engagement in the market; I am on the ground with buyers and sellers in Portland every day. As a result, I can help Sellers understand what's motivating buyers and driving sales so we can position their property to sell quickly and for the most money.  Positioning a property involves both pricing it correctly and preparing it physically for sale.  I am well-equipped to help you with both.

When I'm not helping clients navigate the market, you can find me enjoying the vibrant Portland food scene (restaurant recommendations might be my love language), playing cards with friends, and exploring local neighborhoods with my dog. 

Let's connect and make your real estate dreams a reality!
