Experience – Currently in my tenth year in real estate, I have acquired John L. Scott Top Agent awards since 2001. I continue to be one of the top agents in my office. I ranked #3 (#1 female) in the Town Center office in 2007, and #2 in 2005 and 2006 at the Gresham office--thanks mostly to great friends and clients who use and recommend my services. I attend Continuing Education classes, review real estate news and statistics regularly, which help keep me updated about the constantly changing market and real estate laws.

Quality Service - It's more than just keying the data in a listing and snapping a few photos. And it's more than just walking you through a handful of houses until you find one you think you could live in. Great service is about lending a keen eye and an objective perspective over the processes - and keeping you in the loop! It's about sharing information regarding your home's competition, about new homes that come on the market, about presenting and responding to offers and steps towards closing in a timely and professional manner.

Skilled Negotiator – It's all in the presentation! As a mother, I have honed some pretty awesome negotiation skills that I use quite extensively as a REALTOR^R. Dealing with the parties in a real estate transaction isn't always as simple as it should be--so you need someone who will keep things on an even keel!

Techno-Savvy – What you see here I put together and organized. I am VERY computer literate with all the right programs. I have a Nikon D-70 Digital SLR Camera and High-Quality Color Laser Printer that will enable me to create beautiful flyers and marketing materials. With Photoshop^R, I can enhance the photos for lighting. I have "virtual tour" software that allows me to use my years of photography experience to its fullest and create home tours. I can e-mail listings to you, scan and e-mail documents for signing, and access showing information online. I even send and receive Text Messages! I know the tricks that get the job done--effectively and efficiently. Please click Here or above on "View My Listings" to get an understanding of how I use this great medium to its fullest. The Links below also connect to some useful sites. You can even see and learn about my family if you want!

Challenge Junky – “They” say there’s a “Buyer for every Property and a Property for every Buyer.” Whether it’s finding the property that fits all your needs or selling one that’s a little on the “unique” side, I’m willing to rise to the challenge to help make it happen!

Detail-Oriented – I've been referred to as a "sponge for knowledge" once or twice. Whatever the topic, I want to know as much about it as I can so that understanding is complete and/or nothing is missed. During a real estate transaction, sometimes even the most simplistic detail overlooked can create problems later down the road.

Analytical – Mathematics has always been one of my strong points (straight A's right up through Calculus!). Gauging the market by what's happening TODAY will be essential to getting a home priced correctly and sold in a timely manner. Tweaking the numbers just right when writing an offer is also vastly important. This is when we talk about Listing Inventory and Days on Market Averages!

Creative – I could have been an English Major! I love to write and have journalism and photography experience. Building an advertisement and flyer and Website for your property will be my pleasure! (See Techno-Savvy above!) BTW, I also run a half-page ad in the pocket-sized, The Real Estate Book which is distributed thoughout the Metro area and online.

Giving & Involved – I contribute a portion out of each of my commission checks to the John L. Scott Foundation which helps raise money to support many of the region's Children's Hospitals, including Doernbecher's here in Portland. I am also a Boy Scouts of America "Friends of Scouting" contributor. I am a member of our local association of Realtor's Governmental Affairs Committee. I am also involved in government at local and state levels on land use and property rights issues.

Honest – Last but not least! As a concerned and caring human being and wife of a recently hired West Linn Police officer and retired Portland Police officer, my integrity and honesty are integral parts of my character. As your representative, trust is essential to our having a successul relationship.
