Navigating the world of real estate can be a daunting task, whether you're buying, selling, or investing. Each transaction presents unique challenges that require expertise and a steady hand. Fortunately, I have spent over 20 years honing my skills in this industry, and I am here to make the process smooth and seamless for you.

I serve the Forest Grove/Cornelius area, as well as the greater Portland Metro area. I love to help people find their dream homes, and to help folks navigate the process of selling their homes. With a wealth of experience under my belt, I have weathered the highs and lows of the market, equipping me with the knowledge and insights needed to assist my clients effectively. My passion lies in helping people, and I would be thrilled to extend my expertise to you. Think of me as a dedicated facilitator, accompanying you every step of the way and ensuring a hassle-free experience.

One of my greatest strengths is my commitment to open and effective communication. I believe in keeping my clients informed throughout the entire process, ensuring that they are well-informed and confident in their decisions. Hard work and professionalism are the cornerstones of my approach, and I pride myself on maintaining a sterling reputation within the industry.

When you work with me, you can expect nothing less than a personalized approach that treats every transaction as if it were my own. Your goals become my goals, and I go above and beyond to help you achieve them. I understand that real estate is more than just a transaction; it's about finding a place to call home or making a sound investment. I am committed to making that journey a success for you.

My family is pioneer stock from Washington State. I grew up hearing stories about my Great-great-great Grandmother, who at the age of ten, walked barefoot behind the covered wagon, from Vermont to Washington State.

My interests, outside of my career, are gardening, canning, cooking, hiking, traveling, and I am an avid reader.

Representation

I take pride in offering high-caliber full-service residential real estate expertise. I am your hyper-local expert. My clients are my top priority, and I focus on delivering the best possible results for them.

Expertise

The real estate market is hyperlocal, seasonal and temperamental—in other words, it can change on a dime. Technology has made information more accessible to everyone, but it can be difficult to keep up with recent events that affect home values. The benefits of working with a licensed real estate professional go far beyond what a mobile app, online video, or website can do.

I provide my clients with information on market seasonality and information relevant to what is happening in their specific neighborhood. This customized analysis includes recent comparable sales that factor into an offer and acceptance strategy.

Negotiations

Successful negotiations help move a conversation forward and transform the process into an agreement that’s a win for all parties. Negotiation is not only a skill, but a mindset. I keep my clients’ best interests top of mind as I negotiate on their behalf. 

Transactional Excellence

I am dedicated to transactional excellence for every listing and sale. What this means for you is that I oversee every detail of the real estate transaction. The transaction is far from over once an offer has been accepted. I monitor inspections, appraisals, title, escrow and loan processes. Communication and collaboration with all the partners and parties involved with the transaction ensures a smooth and timely closing. I am committed to my clients before, during and after a sale.
