Have I said it before? I LOVE my job. So. Damn. Much. I could cry!
This time I had the pleasure of helping the very wonderful Erik purchase a place in Portland with enough space for him and his ladies to make some quality memories. A park up the road for the little one, a very commutable location with public transportation nearby for the older one, and, drum roll….HIS OWN BATHROOM! Ahhh such a sigh of relief.
This is the perfect example of how you can get what you’re looking for if you really keep your head in the game. We searched high and low for the right place and in the end, managed to find a pretty perfect fit. About 1,000 square feet, 3 beds, 1.5 baths, a nice garage, space in the backyard, curb appeal, close to work, and all under budget. Badabing! Oh, and how about some seller paid closing costs and a mean steal of an interest rate? No problem, thanks to the VA loan program.
Vets! Don’t forget to look into VA financing when you are thinking about buying a home. In a market where rates are creeping up this can make a huge difference. You earned the discount, now go get it! Also, a huge thank you for your service 🙂
Erik, I hope you enjoy your new digs! Thanks so much for trusting me to help with the job.

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!
