Whether you're kayaking on the river, spending the afternoon at a local park, hiking nearby trails, or simply enjoying the views of the Willamette, outdoor living is part of everyday life here in Oregon City.

It's one of those communities where you don't have to drive hours to feel like you've escaped the city. Nature is woven into the lifestyle, making it a great fit for anyone who values fresh air, recreation, and a little more room to breathe.

If you're considering a move to Oregon City, I'd love to show you what makes it such a special place to call home.

What exactly is a contingency?

It’s one of the most important protections you have as a buyer.

A contingency gives you the opportunity to back out of a purchase if certain conditions aren’t met, like financing, the inspection, or the appraisal, without automatically losing your earnest money.

Understanding these details can save you thousands and a lot of unnecessary stress.

What is earnest money?

Think of it as your way of telling the seller, “I’m serious about buying your home.”

When you go under contract, earnest money is deposited and held during the transaction. If a contingency in the contract isn’t met, you may be able to get that money back. But if you simply change your mind without a contractual reason, you could risk losing it.

Every contract is different, which is why understanding your contingencies matters.

One of my goals since becoming a Realtor more than 22 years ago has been to visit every house in Portland. That's a pretty tall order but I'm working on it.

What I've realized along the way is that every home has a story, and so does every business, event, and organization that makes our communities unique.

If you're a local business owner, involved with a nonprofit, or hosting an event, I'd love to connect, learn more about what you do, and share your story with others.

Send me a message and let's make it happen.

Every home is different, and every move comes with its own story.

Helping the Hoyts relocate from Colorado to Portland was a reminder of why I still love doing this after 22 years. I'm grateful they trusted me to help guide that journey and honored to have played a small part in helping them find the right place to call home.

Congratulations, Hoyts. Welcome to Portland.

Have you checked out the Milwaukie Farmers Market yet?

If not, this weekend might be the perfect time. Fresh local produce, handmade goods, great food and such a welcoming community atmosphere.

The market is open every Sunday from May through October, right in the heart of Milwaukie.

Stop by and see what all the buzz is about. I have a feeling you won't regret it.

One of the most common questions I get is, "How much do I need to put down to buy a home?"

The short answer is: it depends.

A lot of people think you need 20% down to buy a house. While putting 20% down can help you avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI), it's definitely not a requirement for most buyers.

The right amount really comes down to YOUR budget, financial goals, and what makes the most sense for YOU. Every buyer is different, which is why I always recommend looking at the full picture before deciding how much to put down.

Thinking about buying a home and not sure where to start? Send me a message and I'd be happy to walk through your options.

Selling your home? Check your smoke detectors.

In Oregon and Washington, smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years to make sure they’re working properly. Have an attached garage? Make sure you check your carbon monoxide / smoke combo detector too, since those also have a limited lifespan and may need replacing. (5 years).

Not just the battery, the whle device!

One more thing people miss: if your home currently has hardwired smoke detectors, they need to be replaced with hardwired detectors. Don’t swap them out for battery-only versions.

It’s a simple fix before listing, but catching these little things early can help avoid surprises during the selling process.

Thinking about selling your home? Send me a DM and let’s make sure you’re ready before your house hits the market.
