Born and raised in Northwestern Illinois I bring that good ol' Midwest work ethic into everything I do. My interest in Real Estate started in college while traveling along Illinois back roads and through small towns noticing the old farm houses and turn of the century properties along the way. I loved to imagine the property when it was first developed who lived there and how it evolved over years to adapt to modern living. From an early 1900's Sears kit Bungalow to a Mid-Century Rummer I find they all have an incredible mark on our history and a story to tell. Historic properties continue to be a passion of mine in Real Estate today.
Licensed in 2015 I've had the opportunity to work on two high producing Real Estate teams in the Portland market and learn how to effectively represent buyers and sellers with their single biggest investment; their HOME! From the first time homebuyer to the savvy investor I pride myself in my ability to listen to my client's needs and wants in order to provide the service and guidance they need to achieve their Real Estate goals.
After living 15 years in the Portland area I moved to Salem in early 2020. I live with my husband and our pup Brody in a custom built mid-century home that was designed and built by EJ & Shirley Harm in 1969. Fun fact: EJ was the owner of the original Green Thumb Nursery in downtown Salem and was noted for his prize winning Dahlias he showed at the Oregon State Fair. I told you I geek out with this kind of thing!
With a passion for excellent service I look forward to helping Salem area buyers and sellers achieve their Real Estate goals. It starts with a conversation - let me know how I can help you!
