The Henderson family are good friends of ours and have wanted to move to Lake Oswego for a few years. While we focused their search mainly around Westlake, we looked at homes all over Lake Oswego. Their dream home ended up being one that they initially passed on because of the extensive dark oak millwork. Luckily, a similar home is on the market with all of the millwork painted white. This home feels light and bright and fits their taste well, however the layout isn’t exactly what they need. After seeing the white millwork, the Hendersons were able to visualize what that might look like in the other home. The home was taken off the market briefly to have new quartz counters, new appliances and updated light fixtures installed. As soon as the home hit the market again, the Hendersons had a renewed vision and swooped in to make an offer right away!
The layout of this home is just what the family is looking for. With a large open kitchen, pantry and formal dining room there is plenty of room to entertain guests. Upstairs the large master suite, 3 additional bedrooms and a bonus room with a 3rd full bathroom is perfect for their two children and family who visit from the mid-west.
The Henderson’s plan to brighten up their new space with white millwork. Once they move in, they plan to thank those neighbors whose home helped them visualize what could be! Welcome to Lake Oswego Hendersons!

LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE ♥One of the things I love most about my work in real estate is that it never feels like "work" to me. I love it. I love guiding my clients through the process & celebrating all of the wins along the way. Are you a first time buyer who needs the 101 on all things real estate? We'll sit down and go through it all. Or are you a seasoned-pro looking for top notch service & strategy?

I am passionate about understanding the needs of each client and will be your advocate every step of the way. I truly value the relationship that we will create and my goal is to make this a fun & successful experience for everyone. Why real estate? My background as a Merchandise Manager for top retail brands prepared me well. I am that rare combination of business smarts meets creativity and this works well for real estate. I have the analytical background necessary to help both buyers and sellers with numbers and negotiation, as well as the creative vision to help clients prepare their homes for sale. As a native Oregonian, I have a deep understanding of all things Portland & beyond. I spent my childhood living in Tigard and when I was old enough, I realized a dream of living on NW 23rd Ave. The first home I owned was in NE Portland and now I live back in the burbs! When I'm not at the office or out with clients you can find me playing tennis, taking a barre3 class, enjoying family time, volunteering at a school and enjoying local theater arts.
