Go in educated, empowered, and surrounded by the right team. Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make, and having a trusted guide makes all the difference. Start by getting pre-approved so you know your true budget, and take time to clarify your must-haves versus your nice-to-haves. The market can move quickly, so it’s important to stay flexible—but never settle. The right home will come, and my job is to help you find it, fight for it, and make the process as smooth as possible from start to finish. Ask all the questions (there’s no such thing as a dumb one!) and lean on your agent for support every step of the way.

Preparation is key to a successful sale. Today’s buyers are looking for move-in ready—and first impressions truly matter. Even small updates or repairs, along with thoughtful staging, can make a huge impact on how your home shows and ultimately what it sells for. The good news? You don’t have to do it alone. I’m part of a full-service brokerage that offers in-house staging, and my husband is a licensed contractor who can help tackle any repair or improvement projects that may come up. My goal is to make the process as smooth and profitable as possible—so you can focus on your next chapter with confidence.

I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide variety of clients—from first-time buyers just beginning their journey to seasoned sellers ready for a fresh start. I often help military families using VA loans, young families looking for room to grow, and investors seeking properties to flip or rent. I also work closely with clients navigating more sensitive transitions, such as selling a family home after the loss of a loved one. No matter the situation, I take a heart-first, hands-on approach and tailor my support to fit each client’s unique goals and season of life.

One transaction that stands out was helping a family relocate from Alaska to Central Oregon. They were juggling a big cross-state move, jobs, kids, and the pressure of finding the right home quickly. We spent back-to-back weekends touring homes, and I put a lot of focus into strategy—analyzing comps, coordinating logistics, and negotiating strongly on their behalf. It was a true team effort, and we were able to secure a home that was a perfect fit. Helping them transition smoothly into their next chapter here in Oregon was incredibly rewarding.

I began my journey in real estate after relocating to Oregon in 2018. I started out as my stepdad’s real estate assistant, supporting both his real estate and appraisal work. That hands-on experience gave me a deep understanding of the industry from multiple angles, and after a couple of years, I knew it was time to get licensed myself. Since then, I’ve been all in—dedicated to serving clients with care, strategy, and a true passion for helping people navigate one of life’s biggest decisions.

Yes! I’ve completed the Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) certification, which means I’ve undergone specialized training to better support and advocate for homebuyers throughout the entire purchasing process. I’m also a proud member of the National Association of REALTORS®, which holds its members to the highest standards of ethics and professionalism. Ongoing education and staying informed on market trends are a priority for me—because my clients deserve expert guidance every step of the way.
