Portland is my home, sweet, home. I love this land of "partly sunny" days and delight in the opportunity to help people sell their homes and buy new homes as they discover the many vibrant communities that surround us.

I graduated from University of Portland, spent the next six years living in Latin America, then returned to Portland to teach Social Justice at the high school level. I chose real estate as the next phase of my professional life after more than twenty years teaching.

As a Portland lesbian Realtor, I have extensive knowledge of the local market and have a deep appreciation for the various neighborhoods and cities in the Portland metro area.

I genuinely care about my clients. Buying or selling a home is one of the most important financial decisions you will make, and it is also a deeply personal one. I am committed to assisting elders (and their families) as they downsize, accompanying people during life's many transitions, and educating and empowering first time home buyers of any age.

I am a master negotiator and advocate for my clients. I will take the strain of negotiations away from you and ensure that you get the best deal possible. I bring a lifetime of diverse experience to every interaction and pride myself on my strong communication skills, ability to listen and hear the needs of my clients, and determination to see a job done well at the end of every day.

Outside of work, my partner and I enjoy cycling, camping, visiting with family and friends, walking our Schnoodle (Fergus) in the neighborhood, and rip-roaring games of ping-pong in the backyard.

I am a proud member of ORPIB (Oregon Pride in Business), NAGLREP (National Association of Gay & Lesbian Real Estate Professionals), and the LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance dedicated to creating a world free housing discrimination. I am also a member of The National Association of REALTORS ® (NAR), and The Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors® (PMAR). I am committed to a sustainable future and proud to be an Earth Advantage Broker trained to identify and communicate the features and benefits of green and energy efficient homes.

I am licensed in both Oregon and Washington and am part of an extensive network of dedicated Real Estate Professionals.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you. Please don't hesitate to call, text, or email me today!
