Isn’t it great how your favorite clients always send you the most wonderful people? Jon and Katie were referred to me by one of my dearest clients, and unsurprisingly turned out to be so fabulous to work with. We had a blast checking out quirky and charming houses across Lents, Milwaukie and Oregon City. Though Jon had already been through several real estate transactions, Katie was a first timer and their combined enthusiasm and joy was totally infectious. But they liked some QUIRKY houses. 😉 So for us the key was to find a house that was interesting and unusual while still being a smart purchase that ticked all their boxes.
And we found it in a sweet contemporary Tree House in Gladstone. With vaulted ceilings and abundant windows, this house basically feels like your camping 100% of the time, with all the luxuries of home. And with a crack team on both sides, their purchase process was a dream.
Thanks for a wonderful time, Katie and Jon!

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.
