Leveraging over 25 years of market expertise to net you the most money, in the least amount of time, with minimal inconvenience
Since 1996, I’ve helped hundreds of Portland-area homeowners sell their properties for maximum value. As a licensed Oregon broker consistently ranked in the top 1% of John L. Scott agents nationwide, I bring a proven track record of results that speaks for itself.
My Bachelor of Science in Economics from Portland State University gives me a unique analytical edge when it comes to pricing strategy. I don’t guess at your home’s value—I analyze comparable sales, current inventory, buyer demand, and market trends to develop a pricing strategy that maximizes your net proceeds.
Recognized as a Top Producer on RealSatisfied with a 5-star rating, I’m known for direct communication and unwavering integrity. When you call, I answer. When you have questions, you get honest answers. License #960400226.
My approach is built on three decades of market expertise, an economics-driven pricing strategy, and a genuine commitment to your financial success.
My economics background and deep knowledge of Portland’s micro-markets inform every pricing decision. I develop a data-driven Comparative Market Analysis that positions your home competitively to attract qualified buyers and generate multiple offers—ultimately netting you the highest possible return.
Selling a home involves dozens of moving parts. I manage the complexities so you don’t have to—from coordinating professional photography and marketing materials to scheduling showings and vetting buyers. You focus on your life; I handle the details.
An accurately priced home attracts serious buyers from day one. My strategic marketing plan targets the right buyers through the right channels, creating immediate interest and urgency that drives results within a reasonable timeframe—not months of waiting.
When offers come in, you need a steadfast advocate in your corner. I break down every contract detail, financial contingency, and inspection period to protect your financial interests and ensure you walk away with the best possible outcome.
From your first consultation through closing day, every detail is handled with precision and care.
A thorough analysis of comparable sales, current competition, and market trends to determine the optimal listing price. My economics background ensures your CMA goes deeper than the standard report—factoring in buyer demand, seasonal patterns, and neighborhood-level data.
Professional photography, compelling property descriptions, MLS syndication, and exposure on all major real estate portals. Your home will be showcased to the widest possible audience of qualified buyers through a multi-channel marketing strategy.
I review every offer that comes in, breaking down the terms, contingencies, and financial strength of each buyer. Using data-backed strategies, I negotiate on your behalf to secure the strongest possible terms and highest net proceeds.
From accepted offer to keys handoff, I coordinate with inspectors, appraisers, lenders, and the title company to keep your transaction on track. Every deadline is managed, every document reviewed, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Whether you’re selling a resale home, multi-family property, vacant land, or commercial and industrial real estate, I have the experience and market knowledge to position your property effectively and connect you with the right buyers.
A proven, transparent process designed to sell your home quickly and for the highest possible price.
We start with a no-obligation conversation about your goals, timeline, and property. I’ll conduct a thorough analysis of your home and the local market to develop a strategic pricing recommendation that maximizes your net proceeds.
First impressions matter. I’ll provide practical recommendations to showcase your home’s best features, coordinate professional photography, develop compelling marketing materials, and go live on the MLS and all major real estate portals.
I coordinate all showings around your schedule, gather buyer and agent feedback after every visit, and maintain continuous marketing efforts to keep your property in front of qualified buyers throughout the listing period.
When offers arrive, I present them to you immediately with expert analysis of each buyer’s financial strength, contingencies, and terms. I lead the negotiation process to secure the best possible price and conditions for your sale.
I oversee the entire escrow process, managing every deadline—from inspections and appraisal to loan approval and final walkthrough. You’ll be informed at every step until the keys are handed over and the proceeds are in your account.
