Portlands Alternative, Realtor
1 have chosen to take a more human approach as a Realtor.
I build my business on a referral basis and firmly believe
that the satisfaction of my client is far more important than
my financial gain. I communicate clearly and openly, and
I’m always honest with my clients. I’ll gladly climb a nearby
tree to check on a roof or get a bit dirty investigating a crawl
space or an attic. I work mainly in Portland’s close-in
Southeast and Northeast neighborhoods and specialize in
older homes with character. Whether you’re thinking of
buying or selling, please do give me a call.
