Hi. My name is Deb, and of course, I want to be your Realtor - I love what I do, and I'm good at it! - but mostly I hope this site will be your resource for all things Portland. I'll include the obvious real estate stuff; statistics, a home-search page you can review without being required to share your contact information, discussions about the market, answers to questions from buyers and sellers.

However, I'll also include a blog that talks about gardening as much as it does numbers (most recently, a discussion of exterior paint and a new listing!), a compilation of great websites I've found, fun stuff to do in Portland and the surrounding area, whatever catches my eye! Take a look around. Make yourself at home. And when you're ready, get in touch!

“Deb is everything you want in a real estate agent: reliable, patient and knowledgeable. She never tired of answering all my many questions, and worked tirelessly with me for over a year until we found the perfect house. I recommend her to all my friends and they have been thrilled with her.” Heather, April 6, 2008

I'll admit it - I'm going to ask you to sign something right away. According to Oregon Real Estate Law, I have to!

Here's the deal: In Oregon, it's legal for me to represent both the buyer and the seller in a transaction. I have to tell you that it's legal for me to do that, and give you a copy of this brochure, then have you sign to prove you got it.

However. While it's legal for me to do so, I haven't yet wrapped my brain around how I can get the highest possible price for the seller and still get the lowest possible price for the buyer, so unless we all discuss it in advance I can tell you now - I won't do it. If I've listed your home, and I have a buyer who I think will love it, I will refer them to a colleague.
