My deep and personal understanding of the Portland neighborhoods puts me in the best position to market your home to buyers — and negotiate top-dollar closings

Case Studies
Some agents will look at a home in need of a little TLC and want the owner to dump $30,000-$50,000 into it to make their job of selling it easier.But the owners will never make a return on that investment. And, they may be putting money into features a potential buyer may not like.
Other agents won’t lift a finger and will suggest listing the property “AS-IS”, and really not maximize the potential value of the home, essentially leaving money on the table.
I work to get the greatest return-on-investment in the shortest amount of time. Here’s how…
My wife, Anne-Marie is a professional stager and interior designer. We’ll review a home with our handyman, with the objective to put a little effort and money into each home to make it appeal to the largest group of viewers at the lowest investment to the seller.
Paint, new lighting and cabinet hardware can work wonders to a home that needs a little TLC.
Here’s a real life example.
A wonderful home in the Oak Hills neighborhood sat all summer in 2017 with another broker — when the average home was selling in near-record time. The photography was dull and the place just looked “tired” but after nearly five months with no interest, I took over the home.
For less than a $1000, had a few rooms and cabinets painted, staged it and took new and vibrant photography. It sold for the same price the other agent had listed for and I had MULTIPLE offers the first weekend on the market.
The sellers were thrilled. But enough of my blathering…they say a picture tells a 1000 words. So, see for yourself
