I’m a midwestern girl who searched up and down the east coast before realizing that Portland is my home. I arrived here as a software consultant only to find that this is a place with a personality unlike any other.

Looking for ways that I could learn more about the area and hoping to share what I learned with others (and to get out from behind my computer screen!), I decided to become a real estate agent in 2012. Since then, I have only fallen more in love with this weird big-little town and I am eager to help you do the same.

I enjoy working in real estate because no two days are alike and every day presents the chance to get to know a new colleague, client, or neighborhood. In fact, what I love most about this line of work are the connections it enables me to make with both places and people. That’s why my job is not just to hand you the keys to your new house, or to find the right buyer for your current one, but to help you feel more at home in Portland or wherever you may be headed.

I think of my work as sharing with my clients all that this area has to offer. And so when not working, you can find me enjoying some of it myself, whether that means jogging along the Esplanade with my spunky Boston Terrier named Riley, volunteering with Girls on the Run, or trying out the newest DIY project.

I have been a full time Realtor for 14 years specializing in helping first time homebuyers achieve the American dream through home-ownership. As a former college instructor I am a teacher and advisor at heart, and continue to teach homebuyer classes for nonprofits throughout the NW. While attending college I worked in construction and remodeling giving me a unique perspective while touring potential homes. I am a graduate of the Realtor Institute, an Accredited Buyer’s Representative and have specialized training in Master Negotiations but most importantly I will work diligently on your behalf! Just ask any of my past clients.

I grew up in Portland and have lived in the Beaverton/Hillsboro area for the last 26 years.  I love the Northwest and the Portland area.  I have been a full time real estate agent since 1996, with the philosophy that my job was to help people buy and sell their next home regardless of price range or area.  I quickly realized my passion was helping first time buyers find and negotiate the purchase of their first homes.  As a buyer’s agent I’m diligent, but a ‘no pressure’ realtor with the philosophy that when together, the buyers and I, find what they are looking for we will move quickly on it.

My strengths as your realtor are communication(keeping you informed of the process as well as the next steps in putting a purchase together), negotiating skills (with 20 years of experience and a large majority of my clients being first time buyers) and just generally being my clients advocate and guiding my clients through the buying process while making it fun and informative during the transaction.

My interests are playing cards(which has helped me immensely in reading a seller or agent when I’m presenting an offer), traveling( I love the balanced perspective it gives me about life), sailing(hours of peace and moments of terror!), shooting pool(keeping the competitive edge up) and music(I write songs, but doubt they will ever be famous?).  I’ve been married 33 years(to the same girl!) and have three kids and two grandchildren.

Above all I look forward to working with you, my next buyer, and finding you your first home while being hands-on through out the entire transaction.

For the past 15 years I’ve been servicing individuals who were looking for the optimal real estate experience. It is my desire to help people see beyond their present situation and to achieve their dream of home ownership. I blend professional excellence with a personal touch to ensure each transaction is handled with care.

I pride myself in keeping up with the latest technology, using innovative approaches and staying abreast with Oregon laws. I am actively engaged in continuing my education so that I can stay on the cutting edge of real estate trends and provide the best service to each client. This allows me to educate and bring awareness to every client so he/she can make an informed and confident choice while making one of the largest financial decisions in their lives.

I will use my excellent negotiation and communication skills to my client’s advantage. My passion is to assist each client in seeing their dreams become reality.  My commitment to go the “EXTRA MILE” and to take the time to understand each client’s needs has resulted in future referrals and lifetime friendships.

I have been a long time Portland Housing Center advocate and volunteer and am an original member of the Portland Housing Centers Westside Advisory Board. In addition, I have been on the Latino Home Fair organizing committee for over a decade. These efforts have given me a true understanding and a passion for helping first time home buyers achieve their goals of home ownership. I bring the same tenacity and negotiation skills to every transaction no matter the price range or whether this is your first home or your fourth. I will get the job done for you!

While I serve the entire Portland Metro area I know the West side best. I am a long time Beaverton resident. My son is a Sunset High School graduate, who was an athlete and a Scout so there are not many areas I am not familiar with. I will be your guide through the home buying (or selling) journey and will work to make it not only as stress free as possible but fun as well. I pride myself on being extremely responsive. You will never have to chase me down to respond to your emails, calls or texts. This is a very personal process and your priorities are my priorities. you will get the care and attention that you need to make your future home purchase a success!
