With over 30 years of sales experience in the Portland market both with Windermere Realty Trust and The Oregonian Media Group, I bring extensive knowledge about each neighborhood in the Portland Metro area. My unique market knowledge and experience in digital marketing help me to identify and reach either the perfect buyer for your home or find your dream home. This experience has helped me to develop my strategic approach which combines comprehensive market knowledge, exceptional personal service & superior negotiation skills. I believe communication is key to a healthy transaction which is why I am committed to staying engaged throughout the home listing, buying and selling process. I am a passionate supporter of the Portland Arts and Cultural Community and produce a blog "Why I Love Portland" which features some well known and not so well known business and landmarks around the area. I am currently VP of the Board of Directors for the Metropolitan Youth Symphony (www.playmys.org) and have been a past President/Chairman for the Portland Advertising Federation & The Q Center as well as a Board Member for P:ear and the Doernbecher Childrens Hospital. My other passion is Outrigger Canoe paddling and have been with the Mountain Home Canoe Club (www.maunahale.org) for the past 25 years. If you are simply looking for a referral, I am happy to provide you a list of home inspectors, lenders, contractors or other home improvement experts who can help you prepare your home to list.
