I have the great fortune of representing buyers and sellers in their real estate transactions in Portland. I've always lived on the west side of town, and therefore am more specialized here. However, I am familiar with most of our beautiful city. I really enjoy working with my clients, many of whom I'm meeting for the first time, and many to whom I'm introducing Portland. I have great clients, and consider them my friends!I've been in real estate for 13 years, and my great career in apparel and footwear merchandising has led me to much success in my new field. While houses have a slightly higher average price point than a sneaker, the attention and seriousness I give to my clients and products is no different. I love what I do!2012 - present PMAR Top Ten Percent Realtor2014 - present Diamond Platinum member, PMAR Masters Circle. This is award based on sales volume.2015 - present Portland Five Star Realtor.
