Your Portland Home Search Starts Here
Buying a home is exciting — and a little overwhelming. I’m here to make the process feel less like a maze and more like a plan. Whether you’re relocating from California or already calling Portland home, I’ll help you find the right neighborhood, the right home, and the right price thats perfect for you and your next goals in life.
Neighborhood Expertise
Portland isn’t one-size-fits-all. The Pearl District feels completely different from Sellwood. Lake Oswego has a totally different vibe than St. Johns. I know these neighborhoods inside and out — not just the stats, but what it actually feels like to live there. That local knowledge is what helps me match you with a home you’ll love for years, not just a house that checks boxes on paper.
I've Been Where You Are
I grew up in Oregon, spent nearly a decade living in LA, and made the move back to Portland — so I genuinely understand what it’s like to navigate a major relocation. If you’re moving from California, I speak your language. I know what you’re leaving behind and exactly what Portland has to offer in return.
What to Expect Working With Me
From our first conversation to the day you get your keys, here’s how I work:
1. We talk first. I want to understand what you’re really looking for — your timeline, your must-haves, your budget, and your lifestyle.
2. I do the homework. I’ll find homes that actually fit, so you’re not wasting weekends on the wrong properties.
3. I negotiate hard for you. When you find the one, I’ll make sure you’re protected — on price, on terms, and on every detail in between.
4. I’m with you all the way to close. Inspections, paperwork, timelines — I’ll walk you through every step so nothing catches you off guard.
You're Not Just Getting Me, You're Getting KW
Here’s something I love telling my clients — when you work with me, you’re not just getting one agent. You’re getting the full backing of Keller Williams Portland Premiere, the #1 KW branch in the Portland area by sales volume. That means I have access to tools, training, and a network that most independent agents simply don’t have. But honestly? What I’m most proud of is the people around me. Being surrounded by some of the best agents in Portland means I can always go to bat harder for you — whether that’s tapping into an off-market lead or getting a second set of expert eyes on a tricky deal. You get the best of both worlds: someone who actually picks up the phone and knows your name, backed by a powerhouse team behind the scenes
