Congratulations to Chrys & Mo on the purchase of their first home! These first-timers are gonna have to create some new long term goals.
A fellow agent and former-teacher referred C+M to me. Coming from a different market, he wanted to make sure I’d vibe with their blue hair and tattoos. I told him half of us in Portland look like that. I had dreadlocks for 6 years, sir – I’ll take good care of your people!
From the moment I first spoke with C+M, we clicked. They were planners. The original timeframe for their first purchase? 2024/2025. But after an initial visit to Portland where we toured a few homes, they quickly targeted a new move date: fall 2023.
Well, sometimes the right house comes along…and you gotta throw all caution to the wind and ask her to dance. We did just that, scheduling a virtual showing right away and then crafting a stellar offer with strong terms and a quick close to beat out 2 other offers.
Repair negotiations Can a bit tricky, but these were straightforward! In the end, we were able to negotiate a sizable credit to be put toward a number of maintenance items (as well as guaranteeing the removal of a dead rat from the crawlspace prior to close – no one wants uninvited guests!)
As of today, C+M are officially Oregonians! They’re excited for the rain and cooler temps – we’ll see how long that lasts. Cheers, y’all!

She/Her
As your trusted guide through the buying or selling process, you can expect me to customize my services to your specific goals and preferences, much like I did for my students during my ten years as an educator.
My clients’ goals vary. A couple retiring to the Big City after 30 years on 22 acres. A woman purchasing her first home independently. A couple upsizing to support a growing family. Two friends pooling their resources to make their first investment possible. A couple navigating a divorce and the sale of their home. A refugee family with limited English setting down roots in this country. Deaf investors looking to maximize profit on their flip. A couple selling the home of their daughter who has lost her battle to cancer. A family relocating from across the country and buying sight-unseen.
These situations all require unique, dynamic, and holistic approaches. Everyone has different needs, and it is my top priority to meet my clients where they are. For me, real estate is not transactional. It is deeply personal and inevitably life-changing.
While each client requires a tailored strategy, my work ethic is unwavering. With me you can always expect organization, tenacity, responsiveness, dedication, and hustle. A gatherer of resources, a communicator of all options and possible outcomes. As your advocate, I will be brutally honest so you know what to expect. A skilled negotiator, I’ll consider every angle with your dreams and goals in mind.
My clients often end up feeling like family. I am honored they trust me enough to return to me as their needs change and refer me to their friends, family, and communities.
What are your real estate goals and dreams? Call or text me so we can meet to discuss your vision.
