​The Intersection of
My Life and Real Estate

​The opportunity to purchase a house at 18 years old set in motion my life-long passion for homeownership and the pursuit of successful real estate investments.  

I truly understand the gratifying feeling of being a homeowner. Purchasing a home is the largest investment most people will make in their entire life. My acuity and acumen, as an investor, buyer, and seller of my own personal real estate, have given me invaluable resources and experience to share with you to service your real estate goals.

My 20+ years of experience in the hospitality industry has allowed me to develop my expertise in the art of personalized service. In doing so, I’ve learned that attention to detail and need anticipation is what makes the difference. Your safety and security are the top priority as we maneuver through a real estate sale or purchase.

Why Oregon?

Furioso Vineyards : Dundee, Oregon

It was 2015, and I found myself looking for a change. A native of Atlanta, and a long time member of the hospitality industry, I was curious what the scenery looked like in other markets. I was ready to get out of my comfort zone. Let’s rewind a touch…In 2008, I drove through Portland on my way to Pinot Camp in the Willamette Valley. Four days of wine-fueled intensive study of viticulture & viniculture made a huge impact on my impression of Oregon. Years later, in 2015, as I ramped up my relocation search, the Washington Post named Portland as the #1 food city in America. That was far too coincidental. A quick trip in late 2015 to assess the viability of our ambition confirmed the Rose City was going to be our new home. My partner Molly and I landed with our dog Rosie here in Spring 2016. A few years later, and a move from the west side to the inner southeast, it was time to make a professional adjustment from the restaurant industry to residential real estate brokerage.

The first thing I love about Portland is the proximity to nature and the abundance of year-round activity. There is so much to experience in this great city of ours. As an active runner, I immediately gravitated to Forest Park. I feel lucky to have quick access to beautiful world-class trails that wind through the pine-filled forest with peek-a-boo views of the city. The culinary and beverage industries have an unmistakable footprint as well. At one point, Portland had the most breweries of any city on the planet, plus you can taste some of the best Pinot Noir in the world just 45 minutes outside of the city.

Secondly, there is a respect for community, culture, and reverence for non-disruptive design. Most of the neighborhoods have a unique hallmark adding to the community's character.

Lastly, Portland has a pulse and an undercurrent of excitement that speaks to me. I take pride in aligning myself with a city that is modern, progressive, and values equality. This is an amazing city!

Why I love my neighborhood

Proximity reigning supreme. The central location enables the ability to walk, bike, or take public transit almost anywhere in Portland metro. There are numerous distinctive corridors nestled into the geographic landscape, some small and intimate, a la Clinton St. or SE 28th Ave. — others a touch more bustling — think Division St. & Hawthorne Ave. The symbiotic relationship of residents and businesses has created a rich and varied community that truly is greater than the sum of its’ parts. For many residents, living, working, and playing can be achieved within your SE neighborhood of choice.
