Sometimes it’s the simplest things that keep us rooted.

Whether it’s finding the perfect quiet corner in Lake Oswego to catch up on emails or the nostalgia of a Lion Paw at the Old Time Fair, I’ve realized my favorite parts of being a local are often the most underrated.

From the magic of a sunrise over the city to why I’ll always defend our rainy days, these are the little things that make this place home for me.

We all have those local spots or habits that we just love. What’s a "hill" you’re willing to die on when it comes to our community? I’d love to hear your favorites in the comments! 👇 ...

We spend a lot of time talking about “market timing.” I’d rather talk about market readiness.

The truth? The “perfect” market is usually only visible in the rearview mirror. Instead of trying to catch a falling knife or wait for a dip, we focus on the data in front of us.

I help my clients get clear on three things:

Their actual comfort level.

The long-term math.

The life they want to be living six months from now.

That’s how you make a confident decision in an unpredictable market. 📈

A decade makes a difference. ⏱️

In 2016, I was navigating the “messy middle” of a new business and a busy household of six. It was a year of “firsts”!
First time training a team, first time surfing, and my first time traveling out of the country.

Looking back at these photos, I’m reminded that the hard years are usually the ones where you grow the most. I wouldn’t trade this journey (or this team!) for anything.

Are you still sitting on the sidelines waiting for the "perfect" moment? ⏳

I hear it all the time. But here is what my clients are seeing firsthand: Good outcomes don’t need perfect conditions. They need clarity, preparation, and a plan.

While others are waiting for the stars to align, savvy buyers and sellers are making moves, building equity, and settling into their dream neighborhoods. Real estate is about time in the market, not just timing the market.

Wondering what your options are right now? Send me a DM! I’d love to answer any questions and run the numbers with you.

Guilty as charged! 🙋‍♀️ honestly, is it even a real week in West Linn if you haven’t run into half your high school graduating class in the produce aisle at Safeway?

We joke about the muddy cleats at Mary S. Young and the trek to the stadium on Friday nights, but the truth is, these are the little things that make this community home. Whether it’s the sugar rush of a Lion Paw at the Fair or those peaceful sunset walks on Old River Rd, we wouldn’t trade the “chaos” for anything.
