The Process

How we find your home.

01

The Real Conversation

Before we look at a single listing, we talk. What do you actually need? What's non-negotiable? What are you flexible on? I ask the questions other agents skip.

02

Get Pre-Approved

I'll connect you with Portland lenders I trust — not the ones who pay me referral fees. Knowing your real number changes everything about how we search.

03

Targeted Search

I don't flood your inbox with every listing. I send you the ones that actually match your criteria, with honest notes on each one — including the red flags.

04

Offer Strategy

Portland's market requires smart offers, not just high ones. I'll analyze comps, assess seller motivation, and craft an offer that's competitive without overpaying.

05

Inspection & Due Diligence

This is where I earn my fee. I'll walk the inspection with you, explain what matters and what doesn't, and negotiate repairs or credits when warranted.

06

Close with Confidence

I stay on top of every deadline, coordinate with lenders and title, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. You show up to sign, not to stress.
