Passing along that unicorn magic…
Remember that cute family from my post back in April? The one that found their “unicorn property” in record time, and with unheard of ease? Well, they’re back, but this time on the listing side, passing their unicorn magic on to another lucky family.
Before Janelle and Gerry moved into their new home, they were the stewards of a mid-century home on an incredibly landscaped half acre in SW Portland. The house, set up for multigenerational living, paired with the jaw-dropping yard, proved to be just what many buyers had been waiting for. It’s the kind of property that rarely comes to market—a unicorn.
In just five days on the market, this home had 43 individual showings and close to 100 people through the open house—my phone rang constantly (even after the home went pending!) with folks who were so excited to take a tour.
Pre-listing, Janelle and Gerry did an amazing amount of work to make this home shine to its fullest potential. They also really trusted in my expertise— listening to all of my advice about price, listing preparation, staging, and marketing. Our team work really did make the dream work! Gerry and Janelle garnered multiple fantastic offers and were able to close at 15% over list price in just 16 days.
Congratulations Janelle, Gerry, and Charlie! I could not be happier for you!

She/Her
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.
