Hello!
I have been selling Real Estate in the Portland/Vancouver area since 1998. I work with both buyers and sellers; my main focus would have to be Excellent Customer Service. I have an education in Accounting and Customer Service Excellence. I am able to explain the financial side of a real estate transaction and to deliver great customer service to each client/customer. I explain the process, negotiate and direct the transaction while keeping my clients informed on the details of each transaction.
I was a part of a dynamic team at Berkshire Hathaway, the DreamStreet Team until 2017. We had been awarded the Chairman's Circle Platinum award for the last 3 years. This put the team in the top 1% of the Berkshire Hathaway Network. The 2016 Platinum is awarded to Individual Sales Professionals or Sales Professional Teams that have achieved a minimum of $500,000 Total GCI or 100 Residential Units. In 2018 I worked independently and was awarded the Leading Edge Society Award and the President's Award in 2019 which put me in the top 5% of 50,000 agents in the network. In 2020 I was back to working with the DreamStreet Team and we were back in the 1% in Berkshire Hathaway!
My Credentials and Associations:
Principal Brokers License –Brokers License. Requires additional hours of study and passing a state and national exam. Upon successful completion, the Broker can supervise other agents.

Requirements are 40 hours of additional education and passing three separate tests.
ABR: The Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) stands for the benchmark of excellence in buyer representation. It is designed for real estate buyer agents who focus on working directly with buyer-clients. I know that you can't count on the market—you have to count on my skills. ABR® education provides the expertise you need and deserve as a home buyer. Only 2% of realtors nationally have this designation. Requirements are 16 hours of additional education, documented transactions and passing a test.
CRS: Council of Residential Specialists. The prestigious CRS designation is awarded to experienced REALTORS who have completed advanced professional training and demonstrated outstanding professional achievement in residential real estate.
I was named a Five Star Real Estate Agent by Portland Magazine for the past eleven years (2010-2021). This represents no more than 7 Percent of real estate agents in the area. The Five Star Professional research team contacted clients, peers and industry experts, and asked if they had experience working with a real estate agent and rated that individual according to criteria such as integrity, communication and customer service.
