If you’ve found me here, you may be thinking about buying or selling a home in the Portland Metro or SW Washington area. That’s an exciting and sometimes anxious place to be, and I’d be delighted to help you navigate the process.

It’s been nearly 20 years since I moved to Portland, and my love for the Pacific Northwest continues to grow. Sharing that enthusiasm, patiently guiding buyers and sellers every step of the way, and using clear processes throughout, I’m committed to great outcomes for all of my clients. The process can be stressful, but the rewards are often profound.

I’m tenacious when working with buyers, meaning I’m with you all the way—whether we look at one house or fifty—and long past close. I’m your strategist who understands the dynamics of the local market, your truth-teller when I know you can do better, and your loyal advisor, empowering you with the insight needed to make informed decisions. Though I’d rather help you avoid it, I have a track record of winning in multiple offer situations. I’m adept at making your offer stand out, and part of that is being a skilled and level-headed communicator and negotiator.

For sellers, everything I do is with the objective of maximizing the return on your investment. I’m attuned to what it takes to get the most exposure for your home, from pricing to listing prep, and my strategy and recommendations are completely tailored to your circumstance. I’d love to tell you more about what the process looks like, and share my clients’ success stories.

In my former life, I founded Eb & Bean, opening three neighborhood shops in Portland that are still a destination for made-from-scratch organic froyo and toppings. It was a fun and often challenging experience in leadership and hospitality, and great preparation for my role as a real estate problem solver and project manager.

I grew up near D.C., spent my high school years in New Hampshire, went to college in Madison, WI, and lived in the Bay Area for several years before relocating to Portland in 2007. I feel so lucky to call NE Portland home. I’m honored to advocate for buyers and sellers at all stages, and proud to be part of a local, women-owned brokerage that centers education and service over sales volume. If you’re thinking about making a change, I’m here to help!
