As a John L. Scott broker, my mission is transactional excellence and client satisfaction. That means I work tirelessly to make your home buying or selling process as efficient, stress-free and lucrative for you as possible.
About Me
In the current fast-paced Portland real estate market, with low inventory, the decision-making process for accepting an offer is heavily influenced by the offer terms and the representing Realtor. As a responsive and highly communicative Realtor, I am acutely aware of the urgency required in this market, where the average days on the market range from one to three days in most areas. My experience has provided me with the knowledge to advise my clients on how to structure an offer that stands out to the seller, even in situations where multiple offers are being considered. I also make it a priority to educate my clients throughout the process so that they are equipped to make informed decisions quickly.
My rapport with other Realtors has been established over the course of the last 19 years, and they have confidence in my ability to handle transactions with professionalism, ensuring that all paperwork is completed accurately and that the process is carried through to the closing table. The presentation of your offer to the listing agent, coupled with my reputation, responsiveness, and ability to write a compelling offer, has proven to be a successful formula for securing a home in this competitive market when working with me as your Realtor.
In addition to my experience with purchasing homes, I am also knowledgeable about selling homes and rental properties throughout various areas in and around Portland. I understand that each area has unique characteristics that can impact the price of your home, and I will work diligently to ensure that your home is priced correctly based on its location. I will also provide recommendations on how to prepare your home for the market based on current trends, and will implement a top-notch marketing program that is tailored to your home's specific needs.
Even though homes are selling quickly in this market, it is essential to not overlook any steps when presenting your home for sale to ensure that you receive top market dollar. First impressions are crucial, and I use professional photography, printing companies for flyers and ecoflyers, and strategically list your home with a series of open houses, if requested. I also personally invite your neighbors to early entry to draw the most traffic in a restricted period of time, resulting in the highest sales price for your home.
As a Realtor in a highly competitive market, I would welcome the opportunity to demonstrate why I stand out and how I can help make your home stand out as well.
Representation
I take pride in offering high-caliber full-service residential real estate expertise. My clients are my top priority, and I focus on delivering the best possible results for them.
Expertise
The real estate market is hyperlocal, seasonal and temperamental—in other words, it can change on a dime. Technology has made information more accessible to everyone, but it can be difficult to keep up with recent events that affect home values. The benefits of working with a licensed real estate professional go far beyond what a mobile app, online video, or website can do.
I provide my clients with information on market seasonality and information relevant to what is happening in their specific neighborhood. This customized analysis includes recent comparable sales that factor into an offer and acceptance strategy.
Negotiations
Successful negotiations help move a conversation forward and transform the process into an agreement that’s a win for all parties. Negotiation is not only a skill, but a mindset. I keep my clients’ best interests top of mind as I negotiate on their behalf.
Transactional Excellence
I am dedicated to transactional excellence for every listing and sale. What this means for you is that I oversee every detail of the real estate transaction. The transaction is far from over once an offer has been accepted. I monitor inspections, appraisals, title, escrow and loan processes. Communication and collaboration with all the partners and parties involved with the transaction ensures a smooth and timely closing. I am committed to my clients before, during and after a sale.
