It's All About You. You want someone who works with you. I give representation with the highest ethics, looking out for your best interest whether you are selling or buying. Your satisfaction is my entire goal. You want someone who works around your schedule. I know that people are busy and have other things to do with their time even while looking to buy or sell their home. My schedule is set around what works best for you and I know that includes weekends and evenings. You want to be kept informed. Communications is key throughout a transaction, and I will keep you informed every step of the way. There are many different aspects, and parties, involved in every transaction including Title, Lenders, Inspectors, and more and I will remain in touch with all of them to ensure a coordinated and timely closing. You want someone who listens. The last thing you need is an agent who does not deliver what you want. I'll listen carefully to you and try to put myself in your shoes, getting a feel for your needs and wants. I'll help you find the property that fits closest to those needs. I also know you're your needs change, and I'll adapt to those changes along with you. You want someone who is knowledgeable in the market. I constantly study market conditions and research current trends. I use all the tools available to get the best price for you. When I am not busy with a client, I am taking classes to expand my knowledge in every aspect of real estate including, health and home issues, negotiating, presentations, and financing options. With the ability to work with all different kinds of people, I am a dedicated and driven Realtor with RE/MAX Equity Group licensed in Oregon and Washington serving the Portland Metro area. Since I started in real estate I quickly developed a reputation as one of the hardest working real estate agents in Portland. My ultimate goal is to build trust through consistent service, communications and expert service. I specialize in people, knowing each client is different from the last with their own special needs and desires. It doesn't matter if this is your first real estate experience or you are a knowledgeable investor, I am wholly dedicated to my clients and treat them all with the respect they deserve when making such an important investment decision in their lives. I have respect and experience that go beyond my clients and to all parties involved in a transaction, which results in a smooth and relaxing experience. I am committed to staying up-to-date in both market conditions and ever changing knowledge necessary to provide my clients with all the information for a smart real estate decision. My favorite part of being a real estate agent is facing the challenge that each client and transaction include, because it allows me to use my training and experience in sales and negotiations. Mostly it is a happy client that really gives me a tremendous satisfaction. I have been praised by both clients and colleagues for my honesty, integrity, market knowledge and excellent customer service. Despite my busy real estate career I make time to be involved with the community and charitable organizations. I voluntarily raise funds for multiple charities, build and supports my "friends and family" team for the past 6 years for a local race supporting Breast Cancer research and support. In my spare time I love to read and expand my knowledge in real estate, sales, networking and positive thinking. I also enjoy time with my family and dog, being outdoors, and traveling. Raised in Lake Oswego and traveled all around the US and Asia, I have settled back in Oregon in 1998 with my love for the Northwest. We both feel you did a geat job for us. Based on our parents' experiences over the years, we were very apprehensive about meeting a realtor for the first time. We were expecting to feel pressured, naive, and frustrated. This expectation was so strong that we didn't know what to think of you at first - because you didn't pressure us, drag us to places we did not want to see or make us feel dumb! Basically you made a great first impression and continued to earn our trust from there. - Adrian & Carly You were very professional and most helpful. We will definitely refer you to anyone who needs a realtor. - Nancy Kind, courteous and very knowledgeable. Thank you for such a comprehensive overview of the whole buying a house experience. - Swazetta Very professional and was always there to answer any question or concerns that I had. He is such a personable person, I enjoyed working with him. - Cindy We wanted to thank you for everything you've done. We appreciated your open way of interacting with clients, your detailed and clear suggestions and explanations during the process, and your organized efficiency. It is great to have you as part of the house buying experience." - Tania & Andrew "I was working with a couple agents but I chose you because you showed your dedication to my needs and worked the hardest." - Tom
