I also require my teammates and vendors be all-in for you. Our simple goal is to have your total trust to get the job done in the best way possible...as you would do for yourself if you could. It’s how we can earn your most enthusiastic referrals. I promise our approach will be carefully tailored to fit your unique story, situation, goals, wants & needs. My value to you lies in my years of experience, knowledge of homes, willingness to put in the thought & hard work, and ability to come up with solutions when the inevitable challenges arise. Keeping the “all-in” mindset for you in those moments means A) the deal gets done, and B) we end up friends. It’s about helping you create your success...and enjoying our journey together! My Background: For me, the best things in life are quiet times shared with family and friends, both old and new. A small celebration, cooking a great meal together. A good dog for sure! When I find time, just a few hours on a motorcycle ride lets me breathe and recharge. When we can, we travel with friends, take hikes and camp, and go flycasting for trout or steelhead on our amazing Oregon streams. It’s natural to me that I might have a spirit of adventure and a fondness for the outdoors... my mom’s side of the family were pioneers who came west in the 1840s! With my Dad being the first of five real estate agents in our family, I’ve steeped in the lingo and lifestyle of real estate since childhood. After studying both science and art at UC Davis, my real estate journey began as a loan officer (“Rookie of the Year”) and later founding and operating Sterling Mortgage in Lake Oswego, “one of the good guys”. That meant working out thousands of ways to put deals together, and building relationships with hundreds of local Realtors®. Show less

Hasson Company Realtors honored me with "Rookie of the Year award for 2015, and I've earned entry into the PMAR Masters Circle as a top producing agent. After seeing literally thousands of homes, appraisals, title reports and contracts, With many years of mortgage lending I've built an extraordinary degree of comfort with challenging scenarios. Every transaction has them. Bring it on. My favorite story (so far) is that of my clients who dreamed of buying a private acre near town to be their "forever house". We found it. It was two acres, and it was perfect. Until we found out the house was sitting on the doggone lot line. We spent several months trying to move the line, and finally on the cusp of throwing in the towel, I proposed negotiating to have the seller move the house. (Incredulous looks proceeded.) Not only did we succeed with the negotiation, having the seller pay in full for the move, I helped coordinate contractors and financing to make it all come together. It's the kind of transaction that would make many people say "no thanks" but my background was just right to know how to pull it all together. I don't wish for such complexity, but when any challenge arises, I embrace it and my clients can rest assured they're in good hands. Show less

Co-founded and operated Sterling Mortgage for 14 years in Lake Oswego, from 1994 to 2008. Succeeded using a business model centered on high-touch, high-quality client care, and referral-based growth. A "pure" brokerage, independent of bank ties, we grew and thrived providing impartial and caring service to our clients. As the market contracted beginning in 2007, and business models were changing out of regulatory necessity, we sought and merged with Pacific Residential Mortgage.
