What can I say...I love Portland. When I moved here in 1996 to begin law school, I decided that I would make it my home. The city is sophisticated but down to earth, just like the people. Finding a fit here in all aspects of life has been easy. I love to spend time with my family (husband and two kids), run, hike, ski, try new restaurants, walk my dog to the local coffee shop and occasionally take in some theater.
I am always excited to show visitors the unique and funky neighborhoods Portland has to offer. I am especially drawn to the various architecture and offerings of the close-in eastside and westside neighborhoods. I came to the realization that Real Estate was the place I could be in constant involvement with the love I have for Portland's houses and communities as well as using my talent for helping others. After spending several years as a litigator, I have made a career change to Real Estate and love every minute of it.
My background as an attorney has given me a firm understanding of what it means to put my client's interests first, the art of negotiation and contractual issues that arise in real estate transactions. I also understand that when buying a house it's not just about finding the best structural fit but also finding the best neighborhood for you. Do you need an elementary school nearby? A dog park for your furry best friend? What about a decent grocery store? By listening to your needs, I will help you find the right home and close the deal to your satisfaction. As a seller, it is important to communicate both the highlights of your house and your community to potential buyers. I look forward to providing exceptional service to you.
