This dialed in townhouse is about 3 blocks to Nike, which is what made it perfect for my clients. They both worked at Nike and when they decided to have a baby, could take their son to day care there. Too good to be true: they could walk to work and drop their child off at daycare, all without having to get in their car. On top of this, they also were able to walk to Tualatin hills Park and rec, and Tualatin Hills nature reserve which is 224 acres with 4.48 miles of trails. It was the perfect place for them. This spring they called me to help them sell the house, because they were going to make the move back to Idaho, to be closer to family. It was a pleasure to help them, they made it feel easy and now they are able to be closer to their family and community.

Whether that is buying your 1st or 15th house, selling your home, buying a condo, starting to invest in rentals or buying a farm! I am there to help you!
I have a bachelors from the University of Washington in Communications. I am originally from the east coast. I graduated from high school in Upstate NY, lived in Arlington VA and Seattle before settling in lovely Portland OR. I live in St Johns in North Portland, and LOVE it. Its like living in a small town, within a big city.
Little bit more about me and things I love:
Travel: My obsession is currently Spain: the food, the people, the history… I was a flight attendant in my 20’s and my father was a pilot so flying and travel has been in my life for as long as I can remember.
My Dachshunds: I have a grey dachshund named Olive and a Chi-weenie named Max. Everything I do is for them, the house I buy, the car I drive, everything. I am a crazy weiner dog lady and stop people on the street if I see they have one.
Remodeling homes: My partner, a contractor, and I are on our second home that we have completely overhauled. It is so exciting to take it down to the studs, and build it back up. I love all the potential homes have and this is a skill that I have when looking a house, all the possibility that it has. The last remodel we did, we lived in a 16’ trailer for 8 months until it was liveable: 2 humans and 2 dogs in 800 sq feet.
Reading: I have been known to read/listen to up to 10 books at a time. I love to learn and grow and there is so much information out there to know.
Food: I love to cook and eat delicious and healthy food. I know, they don't normally go together but…
