Buying and selling a home is a significant life event for most people both financially and personally. I truly enjoy guiding people through this complicated process. Real estate has been my chosen profession since 1985. I've learned a lot during my 40 years in this business and love to work hard. Successfully navigating every market condition, good or bad, and making it a positive experience for my clients is my focus.

I grew up in Seattle and attended Washington State University. I moved to the Portland area in 1982. I know the Portland Metro 5 county area market as well as anyone. I work in all areas including the Oregon coast, Mt. Hood, and as far south as Eugene. 

Representation

I take pride in offering high-caliber full-service residential real estate expertise. I provide a polished marketing plan when selling homes. Clients making a purchase get expert guidance and representation through the buying process. My clients are my top priority, and I focus on delivering the best possible results for them. 

Expertise

The real estate market is hyperlocal, seasonal and temperamental—in other words, it can change on a dime. Technology has made information more accessible to everyone, but it can be difficult to keep up with recent events that affect home values. The benefits of working with a licensed real estate professional go far beyond what a mobile app, online video, or website can do.

I provide my clients with information on market seasonality and information relevant to what is happening in their specific neighborhood. This customized analysis includes recent comparable sales that factor into an offer and acceptance strategy.

Negotiations

Successful negotiations help move a conversation forward and transform the process into an agreement that’s a win for all parties. Negotiation is not only a skill, but a mindset. I keep my clients’ best interests top of mind as I negotiate on their behalf. 

Transactional Excellence

I am dedicated to transactional excellence for every listing and sale. What this means for you is that I oversee every detail of the real estate transaction. The transaction is far from over once an offer has been accepted. I monitor inspections, appraisals, title, escrow and loan processes. Communication and collaboration with all the partners and parties involved with the transaction ensures a smooth and timely closing. I am committed to my clients before, during and after a sale.
