Samantha grew up going to Cape Meares with her family and it was her paradise. At least once a week they visited the beach to dig holes in the sand, build forts out of drift wood and collect shells until the sun came down. During her college years Sam, came back to Cape Meares to take a break & clear her head. When she married Matt, a long time friend of mine, Sam introduced him to her special beach. Eventually they were married in a private ceremony on the Cape Meares sand.
The town is so special to their family that when this property came on the market, they knew it was time. The home will be in investment in their future & a place to make life long memories with their son. The property is a small 1960’s cottage in original condition. Off the family room is a wrap-around deck with views of the Ocean and the empty lot below – also included in the purchase. I ooh’ed and awe’d over the macramé hanging decor, vintage vinyl foot stool and wood paneled walls.
The Elliotts have plans to remodel the home and create the perfect family beach getaway. I cannot wait to see how it turns out! Thank you Matt & Sam for bringing me along on this journey – a special one that I will never forget!

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.
