Chuck had been flirting Portland for almost 10 years. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to commit–it wasn’t Portland, it was him. Work got in the way; job offers in other cities, opportunities he couldn’t refuse. But, he kept coming back. The dining, the biking, the friends, the shows–he was hooked on all the city had to offer. Chuck thought long and hard about his relationship with Portland and realized he didn’t want to be without it anymore. So, he decided to take the plunge; he decided to move to Portland!
Chuck casually looked at homes on his own for a few years; hitting up weekend open houses, scoping For Sale signs, and checking out the personality of various neighborhoods. So, when I met Chuck, I met a man with a plan. He had a vision and a list. Chuck knew exactly what his long-term home needed to have and how it needed to feel.
The houses that Portland had to offer this spring just were not fitting the bill. But, we hunted, we visited, we did not give up. When Chuck finally met the lovely bungalow, that he is now happy to call home, it was pretty much love at first sight. With a shop for his woodwork, location on a quiet street, walkability, and perfect size, this house ended Chuck’s flirtation with Portland. He is now a fully-committed Portlander and couldn’t be happier about his choice!

What I love about the field of real estate is that essentially, it’s about dreams and possibilities. It’s about finding a space that can support the life you are envisioning and crafting.
Whether purchasing your first home, dialing in your next investment property, or selling your home, my goal as your agent is to be your ally and advocate, to work diligently and creatively to help you through the process. What distinguishes me from other REALTORS®? My style in both real estate, and the rest of life, is down to earth and humorous; my spirit warm and enthusiastic. Being flexible, thorough, ethical, and a topnotch communicator are the cornerstones of my business. I am a dedicated worker and won’t stop until I get the job done! I grew up on the East Coast, but my sense of adventure brought me to Oregon, where I found a richness of community, and a great love for the wondrous natural environment of the Northwest. I spent ten years in this city as a practitioner of Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, all the while learning about Portland’s neighborhoods, and hidden gems, through the stories of the fascinating people that call this lovely city home. Joyfully part of a dream team, I’m currently partnered with Matt Guy, wonderful human and long time real estate whiz. We work expeditiously to successfully help our clients turn their vision into reality. In my free time you might find me living the VW Van life with my dreamy husband, Scott, and firecracker daughter Roslyn; soaking up the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, supporting local non-profits, or celebrating Portland’s local music scene.- T: 503-860-4293
