Helping Buyers and Sellers-No Matter the Budget
Buying
Buying a house doesn't have to be scary- Here's my top three steps to feel prepared and educated in your home buying journey
Consultation
Every good home starts with a strong foundation. I believe the same goes for home buying. Whether you're a first time buyer or a seasoned homeowner, we start with a conversation. We’ll walk through the process, your goals, and what you’re truly looking for, along with timing, budget, and any questions you may have. From there, I’ll put together a tailored plan that fits your specific situation, so when the right home comes along, you’re prepared and ready to move forward with confidence.
Finding the Right Home
With a clear plan in place, the search becomes intentional. I take a thoughtful approach to finding the right home, not just what checks the boxes, but what truly fits your lifestyle and long term goals. From curated listings to private opportunities, I’ll guide you through each option, offering honest insight and helping you see both the potential and the details that matter most.
Strategic Guidance & Negotiation
Once we find the right home, this is where a thoughtful approach matters most. I’ll help you put together a strong, well structured offer that positions you to succeed while still protecting your best interests. From pricing strategy to contingencies, timelines, and terms, every piece is intentional. I’ll communicate closely with the listing side, advocate on your behalf, and guide you through negotiations so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Out-of-State Buyers
Thinking about Relocating?
Relocating can feel like a big leap, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. I take a hands-on, highly personalized approach with my out-of-state clients to make the process feel clear, organized, and actually enjoyable from start to finish. If you’re able to visit, I always recommend an “exploratory day” where we tour a variety of neighborhoods, homes, and styles so you can get a real feel for what fits your lifestyle. If travel is limited, I’ve got you covered with detailed private video tours, honest insights, and consistent communication so you never feel like you’re missing anything on the ground. My goal is to be your eyes, ears, and advocate here in Portland, helping you make confident decisions every step of the way.
Consultation
Every good home purchase starts with a conversation. A conversation about your situation, goals, & dreams. Especially with out of state clients I find this to be crucial! We will build a plan, whether you can make it to Portland for an in person meeting, or hop on a zoom call or phone call, this will be our time to build a foundation to make a smooth process throughout.
Tour Guide Day
One of my favorite parts of the process is the "tour guide' section. This is where we will spend a day, hit the town, and explore the city. Especially if you are moving here cross country, whether for work or other reasons not everybody is familiar with all the Portland neighborhoods and areas. This is a great time to tour a few homes, and start to get an idea of what areas you can see yourself living in.
The Search
Buying a home while living out of state can come with its challenges. The main one being you might not be able to fly here or drive here every time you see a house you like. My goal is always to be your boots on the ground during this process. When you see a house you like we can always tour via video chat, or I'm always happy to record a private video and send it to you on a private link.
Offer, Inspections, Closing
Once we find the perfect house, we will work on crafting a very intentional offer. After we go pending we will start the inspection process, and work towards a successful closing! Again my goal throughout the whole process is to be your local expert, boots on the ground, helping you every step of the way!
Selling
A tailored approach to selling your home with clarity and confidence.
Consultation
Every successful sale starts with a clear strategy. We’ll begin with a conversation to walk through your goals, timing, and what matters most to you. I’ll provide insight on pricing, market conditions, and how to position your home to stand out. From there, we’ll create a tailored plan so you feel prepared and confident every step of the way.
Preparing the Home
Presentation matters. I’ll guide you through the steps that will have the biggest impact, whether that’s light updates, staging, or simply refining what’s already there. The goal is to showcase your home in its best light and create a space that buyers connect with the moment they walk in.
Traditional Listing Marketing
A strong foundation of traditional marketing is key. This includes professional photography, thoughtful listing copy, MLS exposure, agent outreach, and targeted marketing to ensure your home reaches the right audience. Every detail is intentional, designed to create maximum visibility and strong first impressions.
Social Media Marketing
Social media allows us to go beyond the traditional reach. Through high quality video, walk through tours, and strategic posting, your home is presented in a way that feels engaging and shareable. This helps generate additional exposure and often brings in buyers who may not have seen it otherwise.
Open Houses
Open houses are an opportunity to create energy and momentum around your home. I host them in a way that feels welcoming, intentional, and well prepared, giving buyers the space to experience the home while gathering real time feedback and interest.
Negotiation & Closing
Once offers come in, this is where strategy really matters. I’ll help you evaluate each offer, not just on price but on terms, strength, and likelihood of closing. From negotiations to inspections and closing, I’ll advocate on your behalf and manage the details so you can move forward with confidence.
