Let’s Work Together
Real estate decisions feel big, because they are.

A process that reduces stress
Let’s start with a conversation about what you need and when you need it. From there, I’ll build a strategy that makes sense for your move.
If you’re buying:
Clarify home criteria and non-negotiables
See homes when it works for you
Evaluate every home with a critical eye (and spot red flags)
Write strong, strategic offers that stand out
Guide you through due diligence, one step at a time
If you’re selling:
Set a pricing strategy that reflects the market and your goals
Focus on high-impact improvements to get your home ready
Showcase your home’s features with pro photography, custom web, and print
Negotiate to protect your bottom line
What you can expect from me:
I stay accessible and communicative so you’re never left wondering
I provide honest updates and set realistic expectations from day one
I keep the process organized with clear timelines and next steps
I talk numbers early with transparent conversations so there are no surprises
Here’s how I help my people
I support clients through the full range of real estate decisions, including:
Buyer representation (first-time, move-up, and experienced buyers)
Listing and marketing homes with a clear plan and strong execution
Relocation support for moves into or out of the Portland–Vancouver area
Strategic preparation for sale so your home shows well and sells well
Agent-to-agent referrals when you are moving beyond the area, so you are connected with a highly qualified agent in your next city
If you are feeling overwhelmed by options, timing, or market noise, you are in the right place. I will break the process into clear steps, anticipate issues early, and make decisions that match your priorities.
Confidence comes from a clear plan
What sets me apart is a combination of strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, and persistence.
I listen carefully and anticipate issues
I negotiate effectively and stay organized throughout the process
I am both analytical and supportive navigating complex negotiations and guiding clients through unfamiliar territory
I maintain a strong network of trusted professionals, from lenders to contractors, so I can offer practical solutions beyond the transaction itself
My business runs mostly on referrals and I love that my clients recommend me to their friends and family. It is always my goal is to be my clients’ Realtor for life.

I’m glad you’re here!
I have been working in real estate since 2018, representing buyers and sellers across a wide range of property types and price points throughout Portland Oregon and Vancouver Washington.
Before real estate, I worked in film, publishing, and hospitality. Those experiences shaped a service-first mindset, strong problem-solving, and an ability to stay adaptable when plans change.
I have lived in Portland since 2002, and I bring a nuanced understanding of the neighborhoods and communities that make this region feel like home.
“We had such a great experience working with Lou. From the very beginning, she helped us prepare our home for sale and guided us through the entire process with care and confidence. Lou offered smart, practical advice that helped our home stand out and sell quickly. She was always easy to reach, patient with our questions, and made sure we felt supported every step of the way. When it came time to find our new home, Lou went above and beyond once again. She really listened to what we were looking for and helped us find the perfect fit for our family. Her knowledge, honesty, and positive attitude made the experience not only smooth but genuinely enjoyable. We’re so thankful for everything Lou did for us and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor! From start to finish, Lou worked incredibly hard and stayed on top of every detail involved in selling our home. Communication was excellent, and we always felt informed and supported throughout the process. Lou's dedication and responsiveness truly set her apart. Highly recommend!”
“Lou was instrumental in the year long process of selling our home and finding a replacement home balancing and coordinating the complicated process with utmost professionalism. Lou is very knowledgeable not only in the real estate field but also contracting, trades, inspection, finance and government regulations. Lou was very detailed and thorough in all aspect and phases of the process. Lou went beyond what was expected to assure us that all was in order and all details were done correctly. She was with us every step of the way explaining the process and navigating the many facets of the complicated process. Lou is diligent, available, knowledgeable, dependable, and professional. Also one of the most sensible, calm, solid and nicest people you can meet. We highly recommend Lou for your real estate needs.”
“Lou was absolutely incredible with helping me sell my townhome! If you’re looking for a realtor with integrity and resourcefulness, Lou is your person. During a difficult selling season she helped me every step of the way, and when I decided to delist there was absolutely no pushback from Lou - something you would expect from other realtors. Thankfully only a few weeks after that conversation we ended up selling the property at asking with no conditions, all thanks to Lou and her team!”
“Working with Lou to find a house was an absolute dream. I can definitely say that she made my experience wonderful, it was my first time buying a house and it went so smoothly in a big part due to Lou's help. She walked me through the whole process and scheduled all the necessary inspections for the house that I wanted. She also worked with my mortgage broker to put in a very competitive bid on another property that I was interested in, but unfortunately was outbid on. I would definitely recommend working with Lou if you have a chance!”
