ABOUT ME

People buy and sell in times of great personal change: a promotion, a new baby. And yes, a divorce, or loss of a loved one. I get it, most people don’t do this every day. My hands-on approach lets me take care of everything, so you can move on with living.

As for who I am?

Some might say I’m a quick-witted Boston-born realtor with a sharp sense of humor and an uncanny ability to read a room. I pride myself on my ability to effortlessly navigate high-stakes negotiations while keeping the mood light. I’ve worked hard, and I’ve earned my place in this industry. I also have a knack for turning potential deal-breakers into hilarious anecdotes, putting my clients at ease, even when things get stressful. You want someone in your corner who is smart, savvy, and not easily intimidated, while also being warm, and sensitive to your needs. That’s me.

Consulting + Advising

SELLING

Selling a home in Portland isn’t about renovating everything — it’s about knowing exactly which updates create real buyer demand and which ones don’t move the needle.

With over 15 years in Portland real estate, I help sellers prepare and position their homes using a strategy-first approach that blends market data, buyer psychology, and design decisions that deliver strong ROI.

Great negotiation starts before the first showing.

When more buyers want your home, you have more negotiating power — and better outcomes.

My goal is simple: help you sell with strong terms, strong demand, and the strongest possible net outcome.

I start by consulting with each seller to understand your goals and your comfort level with prep budget. From there, I build a strategy focused on the updates that deliver the highest return — not unnecessary renovations.

What do you need to do to prepare?

I guide sellers through design decisions that today’s Portland buyers respond to, coordinate directly with trusted contractors, stagers, and vendors, and manage prep timelines to keep the process efficient and low stress.

By combining deep Portland market expertise, neighborhood-level buyer insight, and an understanding of relocation buyer expectations — especially buyers moving from Seattle and the Bay Area — I help sellers position their homes to attract strong demand from day one.
