I’ve said it many times before, but I just adore working with single clients.  First of all, I love to see people getting shit done for themselves.  Secondly, it’s almost always a collaborative and exciting experience when I’m the one they get to bounce ideas off of.  Lauren is whip smart and data oriented, so it was a joy to get to dive into the details of the process with her.  I’m happy to work with client’s in whatever way works for them, which often means taking care of the small details on my own.  Which I totally understand, they are busy with their own jobs and lives, and that’s what I’m here for!  But when I do get a client who is interested and engaged, it makes the process that much more fun.  Every time I broke something down for Lauren, and she would respond “How fascinating!” I was filled with gratitude.  “Yes!  It IS fascinating!”

Lauren was looking to buy her first home in SE Portland or Milwaukie, to be near her sister and nephew.  She wanted a place that was fairly move in ready, but still had potential for some good equity gain.  We found her a super cute, remodeled home on an oversized lot in Mill Park/Centennial, one of the last areas in Portland where a deal can still be found.  The street is tidy, convenient to Lauren’s work and her family.  The big yard is full of fruit trees and garden space, with plenty of room to improve her value.

If you’re looking for an engaged and collaborative Realtor to help you find your next home, give me a ring!  I love clients who ask me the hard questions.

Earth Advantage Broker

Real Estate is an act of service. A lot of people think it’s a sales industry. Or that agents are sales people. And while it possible that some agents may work this way, my business could not be more different. My business is all about listening and building relationships. Whether you’re buying or selling, I am here to listen to your goals, and hear your plans. Once you’ve been heard, and we’re all on the same page, that’s when we get down to the nitty gritty business of making your goals into reality. My goal is to run a people focused business and create wins on both sides of all transactions.  I work hard to foster relationships with my clients, but also with the other agents I work in concert with. I believe that it is always possible to close a transaction in a way that leaves everyone feeling happy and well served. Buying or selling a home is a huge process, and it’s always going to bring a little stress along with it. But when we work as a team toward a shared goal and with mutual respect, it can be a positive experience that allows a home to transfer owners with good will and good vibes. When I’m not with my clients, you’ll find me running around after my partner and two boys, knitting, traveling, camping or watching Downton Abbey for the 20th time.
