Experienced Team. Exceptional Service. Sharing our fun adventures in all things real estate in Oregon ?
Whether you’re looking for a fun mid-week break or just don’t feel like doing the dishes, I’ve got you covered!
Motherhood is great, but grandma-hood is pure magic! ✨
Luxury is in the details. 💥
Most buyers look at the staging. I look at the stuff that costs you money. 🔍
They don’t call it a “unicorn” for nothing! 🦄✨
Dinner + Bingo = The perfect Thursday night. 🍕🔢
If you aren’t hitting up these Wilsonville spots, are you even doing it right? 😉
Let’s be honest, the real estate industry is full of “average.” But if you’re here, I know you’re striving for exceptional.
Buying a home is such a whirlwind that it’s easy to miss the small details while you’re falling in love with the perfect backyard or that open-concept floor plan. But as a broker, I’ve seen the “honeymoon phase” end quickly once the reality of living in the house actually sets in.
You can renovate a kitchen, but you can’t manufacture this. 🏔️💧
There is nothing I love more than seeing my team crush their goals and get our clients into their next chapters! 💚
Did you know your brain is actually hardwired to look for what’s going wrong? 🛑
The right house at the wrong price is still the wrong house. 🏠❌
Think of me as your West Linn concierge. 👋🏡
Plot twist: this is actually Oregon, btw. Everyone assumes we’re living in a permanent rain cloud or a “Portlandia” sketch, but they’re missing the golden reality. From the sun-drenched coastal beaches to the high-desert chic of Central Oregon, our “gray” reputation is actually our best-kept secret for keeping the crowds away. We trade umbrellas for sunglasses more than you’d think, enjoying a sophisticated lifestyle defined by world-class dining and wide-open spaces.
TLC told us not to go chasing waterfalls, but clearly I didn’t get the memo. 💁🏼♀️💦
📦 Consider this your sign from the universe.

That “cozy fireplace glow” is definitely a vibe even if the “fire” is actually a high-powered LED panel and a tripod! It’s all about the movie magic that goes into creating the perfect shot. 🎬✨
You’re never on your own at Robbins Realty Group. Period. 🤝
Spring is officially blooming in the PNW and there’s no better time to list. 🌸

Here is everything you need to know:

Take the night off from cooking, grab a bite, and let’s see if we can get you a big win. Can’t wait to catch up!
So grateful for this journey and the little ones who call me Grandma. Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms and grandmas following along, I hope your day is as special as you are! 🌷
I’m sharing a look at the elevated features that turn a house into a sanctuary. Whether it’s the indoor-outdoor flow of the sliding glass walls or the cozy comfort of an outdoor fireplace with a river view, these are the moments that make a home unforgettable.
Which feature is your favorite?
In our specific Portland market, these are the "Big 6" I’m hunting for during every single walkthrough:
1️⃣ The Oil Tank Mystery: I’m looking for fill pipes in the yard. An abandoned underground tank is a massive liability. Soil remediation can quickly turn into a $2,000–$20,000 nightmare.
2️⃣ The "Mossy" Roof: PNW moisture is brutal. If I see curling shingles or heavy moss, we’re at the end of its life. A replacement in our area averages $12,000–$25,000.
3️⃣ Electrical Red Flags: I always check the panel for Zinsco, Federal Pacific, or Knob & Tube. These are often uninsurable in Oregon. Budget $3,000–$5,000 for a modern upgrade.
4️⃣ Radon—The Invisible Guest: Portland is a high-radon zone. If there isn`t a mitigation system already, we are definitely testing. A new system install is roughly $1,500–$2,500.
5️⃣ Blown Window Seals: If the glass looks foggy or streaky inside, the seal is gone. In our historic homes, custom window replacements can easily run $1,000+ per window.
6️⃣ The Sewer Scope: Never skip this. Our old clay pipes and massive tree roots are a bad mix. A $250 scope now saves you from a $15,000 excavation later.
The "pretty stuff" is easy to fix. The "bones" are where we negotiate. 🛠️
I don`t just find you a house; I protect your investment. DM me to start your search with an expert in your corner.
I’m so thrilled to finally give you a peek inside this fully renovated gem in West Linn. If you’ve been searching for that perfect mix of modern interior updates and a massive, private outdoor space (yes, it even has a creek!), this is the one.
A few of my favorite features:
👌🏼 Main level living
✨ Fully renovated, open-concept kitchen
🛋️ Huge bonus room/flex space
🌳 Private, tranquil backyard with a patio & shed
Come see why I’m so in love with this property. Reach out today for all the details or to schedule a private tour!

I want you to love your home long after I hand over the keys, so I’m pulling back the curtain on the things that usually get overlooked. These are some things that make people hate their house after closing:
Low Water Pressure: A daily mood-killer that often hints at old pipes which are a real pain and expense to replace.
Lack of Outlets: You don’t realize how much you rely on power until you’re running extension cords across your home office.
Inadequate Lighting: Dim rooms feel gloomy, and adding recessed lights later means messy drywall work and extra electrician fees.
Tiny Closets: We all think we can declutter, but cramped closets usually end with clothes on the floor and a need for a renovation.
Squeaky Floorboards: They seem charming during a walkthrough but are a nightmare when you’re sneaking to the kitchen at night.
Awkward Cabinetry: If your plates don’t fit in the cabinets or the microwave is too high to reach, every meal becomes a chore.
Limited Guest Parking: It’s a huge hassle to realize after moving in that your friends have nowhere to park, or that the street rules make hosting a total headache.
This is exactly why I tell my clients to look at the “boring” stuff during the inspection. You’re buying a lifestyle, not just a floor plan!
What’s one thing you noticed after moving in that drove you crazy? Let me know in the comments!
A view isn`t just a perk, it’s a premium. Whether it’s $25k or $2M in added value, the rarity of a location is what truly defines a luxury property.
I always tell my clients: Buy the view, then build the dream.

It’s an old survival instinct designed to protect us from danger, but in today’s world, it often just keeps us stuck in a loop of stress and “what-ifs.” If you’re only looking for threats, that’s all you’ll find.
At Robbins Realty Group, we believe that the best results come from a shift in perspective. 🏠 That’s why I start every single morning with one simple question:
“How is this going to be the best day of my life?”
By asking this, I’m training my brain to scan for opportunities, solutions, and wins—no matter how small. When you change what you’re looking for, you change what you find.
Give it a try tomorrow morning and let me know: What’s one thing you’re looking forward to today? 👇
Negotiating isn’t just about getting what you want; it’s about knowing when the deal no longer serves you. Here are my top 3 pillars for a successful negotiation:
1️⃣ Knowledge: Navigating the data with a pro who lives and breathes the market.
2️⃣ Patience: Keeping a cool head when emotions run high.
3️⃣ Strategy: Knowing exactly when to enter—and when to exit.
And the bonus tip? Knowing when to walk away. 👣
In a competitive market, you need more than just an agent; you need a strategist. Ready to find the right house at the right price? Let’s chat.
When most people think of a Realtor, they think of open houses and contracts. And while I love those parts of the job, my role as an agent goes so much deeper than just the “buy and sell.”
After 20+ years in this industry, I’ve realized that the most valuable thing I can offer my clients isn’t just a transaction—it’s clarity. Whether you’re:
Looking for a vetted contractor to fix that leaky faucet.
Wondering which kitchen upgrade will actually give you a ROI.
Or just needing a “boots on the ground” video tour because you’re moving from across the country...
I’m here to be your sounding board and your local guide to everything this beautiful area has to offer (including the best hidden gems that Google hasn’t found yet!). 🤫

If you’re reading this, it’s a sign that 2026 is the year Portland finally becomes your home. 🌲
Before you know it, you’ll be spending sunset evenings boating along the Willamette River, hitting the Forest Park trails for a crisp morning hike, and weekend-tripping to Cannon Beach for a foggy morning stroll.
It’s more than just a move; it’s a lifestyle upgrade. So, if someone sent this to you and you’re just a little bit curious about what life is really like in the Rose City...

We didn’t have quite enough time to build a real fire, so we had to improvise to get the lighting just right. I love that my videographer, John, is always willing to pivot and get creative to make things look this effortless. In reality, I was just trying not to laugh at the chaos behind the lens!

Sure, the market moves fast, since we filmed this, rates have ticked back up a bit. But don’t let that stall your plans! Between high buyer demand and low inventory, the leverage is still with the sellers. And for buyers? We’ve got tricks up our sleeve. A little rate buy-down can go a long way in making that dream home a reality. 🏡✨
Thinking of making a move this season? Let’s chat strategy.
Highlights you’ll love:
✨ Two-story ceilings & walls of windows
✨ Primary suite on the main level
✨ Every bedroom features its own ensuite
✨ A private, stone-paved fenced backyard
✨ Steps away from the lake, dining, and shops
This is the one you’ve been waiting for.

In a spring market this active, “Prep” is the difference between:
✨ Selling in 16 days vs. 67 days.
✨ Selling above asking vs. below asking.
My #1 piece of advice right now? Start now. Whether it’s a fresh coat of paint or addressing those lingering maintenance issues, the right preparation pays off!
I help my clients navigate every repair and update to ensure they see the best possible return on their investment.
Thinking of selling? Let’s make sure you’re a “House A.”
DM me to schedule a walkthrough! 📲

I see it all the time: beautiful homes sitting for months while others sell in 48 hours. The difference isn’t the zip code, it’s the strategy behind the launch.
In real estate, time is money. Literally. The longer you wait, the more negotiating power you hand over to the buyer on a silver platter.
Tell me in the comments: What’s the first thing you look at when you see a home has been on Zillow for 100+ days? (Be honest! 😉) 👇
