I love what I do. My career in Real Estate
began in 1989, the last 28 years of which
I have been licensed as a Principal Broker.
During this time I’ve had the privelege of
working on a wide array of Real Estate
transactions and dealing with many
wonderful clients, contractors and vendors in
the Florence area.
I have obtained several designations that
require continuing education, which I feel keeps me on th
the cutting
the
tti edge
d of f th
industry. I am constantly looking for ways to expand my areas of expertise. This
allows me to provide a higher level of service to my clients.
I have a deep respect for the goals and concerns of my clients and, because of
this, we try to exceed the expectations of my clients. This has made me both
friends and clients “for life”.
To ensure effi cient & complete service for my clients I have carefully selected a
team of assistants who are as enthusiastic about helping you with every aspect
of your Real Estate needs, as I am. We are known for providing outstanding
service and sticking with our clients till the job is done.

Shorewood Senior Living
since June of 2018. She has
experience in Independent
Living, Assisted living,
Memory Care, and in-home
care. Ashley enjoys working with seniors because
she believes that it is some of the most rewarding
work there is. Ashley was born in Florence,
Oregon and grew up in Eugene and Florence. Her
favorite thing about working at Shorewood is the
relationships she has built with the people who live
and work here.

Owner/Operator
I was raised in Florence
and I’m happy to serve
this community with
their Real Estate needs. .
My number one goal
is to make sure your real estate experi-
ence is as stress free and as enjoyable
as possible. Give me a call or come see
me today!
Vicki and her father
purchased Twin Lakes Store
in 2012. Since then they
have focused on growing
their business by meeting
the needs of the neighbors
on the north end of Florence. Two years ago they
doubled the size of the building and added a
fully stocked Liquor Store. This has been quite
benefi cial for our community to have a second
Liquor store. She has a friendly staff, great
selection and long hours.
I have been an integral part of Stitch & Sole since
I helped my parents open their 1st store in 1999
while I was in college studying business and
economics. Soon I was managing and buying
for our store in Old Town Florence where I have
lived since 2003. It is through my store and my
involvement with Rotary that I have connected with
th so many people and come to
recognize the value of community, both globally and at home.
I have fallen in love with this town; it’s exquisite natural beauty, it’s amazing big-
hearted people and the quality of life that it offers. To live every day in such an
inspiring and supportive environment motivates me to be my best in every aspect of
my life, both professionally and personally.
I became interested in real estate and pursued my broker’s license several years ago
thinking that I would do it “on the side”. Haha! Luckily, I have a great team that keeps
the store running smoothly because actually I am a full-time broker with Coldwell
Banker Coast.
I give my all to every endeavor that I undertake and serve all of my customers and
clients with dedication, professionalism and respect keeping their best interest at
heart.
