Do you ever hear your friends, family, or colleagues talk about tough real estate transactions? I’m sure. Well, big surprise, it doesn’t have to be that way! Sure, you’ll need to put a little effort into things, for example gathering your life supply of documents to provide to your mortgage lender, hustling to get through inspections and earnest money in the first couple days of a transaction, and then all the glory of moving from one place to another…but the rest really can be smooth sailing and simple. And we can have a good time along the way!
For this sale we were all so lucky! A wonderful, easy going and focused buyer. A happy and beyond helpful, extremely generous seller. Even us realtors got to be chummy. Life can be a happy place if you let it 🙂
Anna moved from a version of my dream life, living on a sail boat for a while on Hayden Island, to this spacious, 3 bedroom condo with two baths, a cozy fireplace, and a bird haven just outside the living room window. The seller even left her a bunch of furniture to help with the transition. Enough space to welcome some roommates and she gets to keep the sailboat for times where she wants her partial escape from the busy life of 2018.
Cheers to a happy buyer, a happy seller, and a very sweet listing agent who I had the pleasure of working with.

Broker
I've lived in and loved Oregon all my life. An early obsession with houses and all that happens inside them, plus a sincere interest in human connections is what led me to the real estate world.
Having degrees in leadership and management and human resources, I have found a real pleasure in connecting that special, sappy community feel to real estate. Buying and selling homes is a huge deal and I want my clients to feel supported throughout the process. A few promises if we get to work together: education | communication | guidance | commitment | community. You will not be left in the dark- ever.
*Wanting to sell a home?* I will help guide you through the prepping and the primping. Offering fresh marketing and a thorough approach to get you the best sale possible. *Wanting to buy a home?* I will keep you up to speed by walking carefully through repair options and negotiation strategies. I will connect you with the necessary service people like roofers, HVAC technicians, and even interior designers. Years after the sale has closed? That same service still applies.
I really love this business. I love working with wonderful humans to accomplish such a significant goal. I love looking at and getting to constantly learn new things about homes and the stories they hold. I love a good, win-win negotiation where everyone gets to walk away happy. And since we're talking bio, it seems worth nothing that when I'm not selling houses, you'll catch me hanging with my beloved and very dorky dachshund, wrangling my two crazy cats, hiking the gorge and exploring the outdoors, appreciating our environment, and enjoying my people.
Visiting from out of town? I dare you to ask me for some recommendations!
