Easter in Las Vegas 🐰

04/17/2026

I don’t always post a “Just Sold,” but this one was dear to my heart.

The mission: Relocating my aunt and uncle from Dubai back home to Lake Oswego.

The strategy: While they were 8,000 miles away, I was their eyes on the ground - creating narrated video tours and shooting traffic timelapses to vet streets.

The requirement: No flips. No gray boxes. If it’s a fixer, it must have soul.

Where they landed delivered. A vintage beauty on a cul-de-sac that feels like a reprieve from the modern world. In a market often obsessed with painting over history, we celebrated the original oak, wallpaper, and warm interior brick. It’s a home that feels like the “drinking out of the garden hose” years - a nod to simpler times.

Some transactions have friction. This one was a collaborative masterclass between buyer and seller - as smooth as Tennessee whiskey. 🎶

I couldn’t be happier to have my family back stateside - and I’m so grateful they trusted in me to help navigate this move on their way back HOME. 🤍

Life lately: A family trip to Scottsdale, and house hunting on the home front.

A week in AZ 🌵Toured Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West, hit the Botanical Gardens, golfed, and hunted for vintage while the folks did Giants Spring Training. ⚾️

Back in Oregon 🌲 Morning walks with Pancakes, Scouting stunning homes (and some high-ROI fixers), and helped my clients secure the win on a beautiful home in Lake Oswego. 🏆

This past weekend reminded me how powerful it is when a home speaks to two buyer groups at once.

Not because it was remodeled. Not because it was super trendy. Because it was full of opportunity.

As I was hanging the sign in the yard, cars were stacked doing drive-bys & circling the cul-de-sac. Over the weekend, more than 35 groups came through the open house. Appointments were stacked.

I still get nervous every time we list.
Did we price it right? How will the market respond?

This home sat right at the intersection of two massive buyer pools. First-time buyers who are hungry for a place where they can build sweat equity. Affordability matters most for them.

And the largest segment of our population right now, folks who are downsizing & looking for single-level living.

And as I was reminded this weekend - they’re just not building these classic, single level ranch homes anymore.

When a home hits more than one buyer story, nails the golden trifecta of - price, condition & location - momentum happens fast.

Every client is different, and every plan is too.

My goal is always the same: to maximize the value of your dollar and the return on your investment.

Whether I’m working in your yard or negotiating your contract, my goal is to make it feel easy, genuine, and human.

This business is about relationships, and that’s what I love most about it.

I listen, I care, and I treat your home like it’s my own.

Last flowers of summer, snacks & drinks for today’s buyers & their inspector.🌻

When I joined real estate 4 years ago, I was drawn to the idea of collaboration over competition. Beyond the contracts and paperwork, this business is about people - service, connection, and creating an experience of home.

It’s not just transactional. It’s about making the journey inviting, enjoyable, comfortable… and above all, human.

🎉 Key Day! 🎉

This one was especially dear to my heart, as we’ve been friends since our days at Canby High.

Time and again, I’m reminded that the real estate journey is rarely linear — but trusting the process is key.

We made two offers before landing this one, and it turned out to be lightyears ahead — by far the best.

While missing out on previous homes feels initially disappointing, the right home true, does come along when it’s meant to be. ✨We dusted ourselves off, got back on the horse, and rode right into the sunset corridor. 🌅

One of my guiding principles in real estate is the golden trifecta: Price, Condition, and Location. And boy did this home absolutely nail it. And, I was able to secure them a brand-new roof to boot! 🔑

In the end, it brings me so much joy to see my clients so stoked with their swinging 1970s ranch, reimagined with a down-to-the-studs, super classy remodel — a stunning value.

I’m honored to have been of service to such longtime friends in helping them secure their dream home.

We trusted the journey together.

Congrats to the Walker Fam! 🏡✨

🎥✨ Exciting news: Catch my clients and yours truly, on House Hunters Amazing Waterfront Homes! 🏡🌊 Here are my top 3 takeaways from this sale:

1️⃣ Pooling Resources for Homeownership:
My clients house-hacked this sale by combining multiple generations of their family & pooling their resources to purchase this stunning luxury waterfront home. Many people feel homeownership is out of reach in today’s climate of rising living costs, interest rates, and Oregon’s higher home prices—but it’s absolutely possible with creativity & planning. Whether it’s combining households with friends, bringing in multiple generations of family, or purchasing a home with an ADU (or the potential for one), the key is starting early. Take advantage of buyer down payment assistance programs in your state (Oregon has amazing options!) and assemble a strong team with a tenacious agent and a savvy lender. If you’re looking for an amazing lender, I highly recommend at Ryder Mortgage. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and works tirelessly to make dreams a reality for my clients. ✨

2️⃣ Timing Matters:
Buying off-season pays off big time. This home was listed at $1.9M, but we secured it for $1.65M, closing in January. Winter buyers benefit from lower prices and less competition. For example, homes in the $500K range often show a $40K price difference between peak selling season (summer) and off-season (winter) over five years of data. If you’re buying in summer, target 3-day holiday weekends like Labor Day, when the market slows and buyers are on vacation. Timing + strategy = results. 📉📆

3️⃣ Always Do a Final Walkthrough:
Never skip the final walkthrough before closing! For this home, we had the garage refrigerator written into the contract. During my walkthrough—just 24 hours before closing—I noticed it was missing. I ensured a brand-new refrigerator was in that garage just in time for closing, paid for by the sellers. 🔑✨

✨ I want to empower you to believe: Homeownership is possible for everyone with creativity and the right team on your side. If you’re ready to explore your options, I’d love to connect! 💬

Forever in love with a good fixer 🛠️ A few weeks ago some of my fave friends & clients and I shot for HGTV’s House Hunters 🔎 While this home was a hard pass for the family, I was enamored with this waterfront home in West Linn. The home was immaculate for its age with its perfectly preserved multi-colored sinks, tile and wall paper, with a view of the Willamette River from every room in the home. While the joy of helping people find & win their dream home is my most favorite part of being a realtor, a close second is touring a great gem & envisioning the possibilities of what one could do with a fantastic cosmetic fixer. 🛠️
