My Story

What makes me different from other Oregon agents?

I didn't set out to become a Realtor. I simply fell in love with helping people navigate life's biggest transitions. More than 30 years ago, I entered the real estate industry and quickly discovered that buying or selling a home is rarely just a transaction. It's a chapter change. It's a new beginning, a hard goodbye, a fresh start, an investment in the future, or the realization of a lifelong dream.

Over the years, I've worked with first-time buyers, growing families, investors, downsizers, and sellers facing every imaginable circumstance. Through changing markets, economic shifts, and evolving technology, one thing has remained constant: people want someone they can trust.

That belief became the foundation of my business.

I've built my career on honesty, communication, hard work, and treating every client the way I would want my own family to be treated. I don't believe in high-pressure sales tactics or flashy promises. I believe in listening, educating, advocating, and showing up when it matters most.

As a Lake Oswego-based Realtor serving Oregon and Southwest Washington, I bring decades of market knowledge, strong industry relationships, and skilled negotiation to every transaction. But what clients often remember most isn't the contract expertise or strategy, it's the feeling that they had someone genuinely in their corner.

Real estate has allowed me to be part of thousands of life stories, and I never take that privilege for granted.

"After 30+ years and over 600 homes sold, my mission remains simple: provide expert guidance, unwavering advocacy, and a level of service that makes every client feel seen, heard, and supported from start to finish."

Who I Work With

Who should work with me?

After 30+ years and 600+ homes sold, my ideal client values experience, honesty, and authentic relationships. They're often navigating a major life transition — buying, selling, investing, downsizing, or relocating — and want more than a salesperson. They want a trusted advisor who appreciates direct communication, strategic guidance, and genuine connection over hype or high-pressure tactics.

If you're looking for honest advice, skilled negotiation, and a concierge-level experience grounded in authenticity, we're likely a great fit.
