As an Oregon native, I am extremely passionate about Portland and its surrounding area. I fully realize how lucky we are to live in this blessed metropolis where beautiful mountains, forests and rivers all converge and the nearby ocean begs us to come out and play.As passionate as I am with regards to my home state, I am equally so about real estate and marketing. I am fortunate to have a profession that allows me to deliver ownership of a small slice of Oregon. I also enjoy helping families choose that place where the majority of their most precious future memories will be made. At the same time, I love marketing since I see it as the medium that allows a rare intersection between beautiful words and beautiful images. I view marketing as that special place where poetry and art not only meet but actually embrace each other and work together in harmony.With that in mind, I am excited for the opportunity to assist as you buy or sell your home and offer the following unique qualifications:• With over twenty years of real estate experience, I have helped over 2000 families purchase their home while studying each transaction with an eye to improving the experience for the next.• As Partner and marketing leader for Oregon & SW Washington's largest real estate brokerage, I am uniquely positioned to bring maximum exposure to my listings by way of the most advanced, cutting-edge marketing and my vast network. Similarly, I am also uniquely able to bring many off-market buying opportunities to my buyer clients that no other agents have access to nor are even aware of for that matter.• I literally wrote the book on how to buy and sell a home. It is called: THE PATHWAY TO YOUR NEW HOME and was originally created and copyrighted in 2006. Since then it has been distributed by thousands of other Realtors in 27 different states from coast to coast.If you are in the market to buy or sell a home or simply have questions, give me a call so we can discuss your specific circumstances and determine how I can best assist you.
