About Me

 

Like many residents, I'm not originally from Oregon, I was born in NYC and raised in Connecticut. I went to college in NH.  I spent half of my life on the East Coast and the rest on the West Coast. All in Oregon, but 4 years in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. (being a ski bum. no regrets!)

My wife went to law school here at Lewis and Clark and I worked for a software company for 12yrs. Life was good, we never had a reason to leave and we fell in love with the Pacific NW.

I get to show people houses and sell people's houses for a living. How awesome is that. I've always loved seeing different homes and styles and love all the different and dynamic neighborhoods that Portland has to offer. I'm a people person-which means I love to talk and I love to make people happy. There is nothing like the feeling of selling one's home or handing over the keys to a new house!

I recognize that buying and selling a home or investment property is a very personal and significant step for every client and I consider it a privilege to work on your behalf to help you achieve your goals. Bottom line – I will get the job done properly for you and not let you down! Please see below for more details regarding my approach.

A little bit more about me: When I’m not working, you might find me working out on my Peloton, cooking a feast for my family or friends, walking my dogs on Mt. Tabor, enjoying a round of golf, or watching an EPL soccer game or F1 Race on TV. I love mountains and water and am always looking for chances to ski, raft, and boat. I enjoy travel and learning about new places, connecting with nature, and spending time with my family.

Sellers

Whether you are selling because you need more room, less room, or just a change of scenery, I would love to help you get the best possible value for the sale of your home. As your listing agent, I will provide you with:

  • advice and resources to help you prepare your property for market
  • stylish home staging
  • a compelling listing and strategic marketing
  • expert negotiating skills and an ability to keep deals on track, calmly and professionally

Buyers

My goal is to help you find the right home at the right price. Once we find the right home, I will be your advocate and negotiate the most favorable buyer terms, including assisting you in determining the initial offering price by providing you with the prices of other recently sold comparable homes and assist you in selecting the appropriate paperwork. The first step is to arrange your financing and determine your budget. I can recommend a lender if you need one. As your buying agent, I will provide you with:

  • careful listening to understand your list of needs and wants
  • customized and timely communication about prospective properties
  • strategic and effective offer and negotiating skills, using every tool in my toolkit
