Looking for something a little different? Shooting straight from the hip, I can translate your
personal tastes and lifestyle into a detailed search pinpointing the areas that will speak to your sensibilities.
From 'mid-century modern' to 'arts & crafts', my background and passion for historic architecture and my
comprehensive knowledge of Portland will make your home buying experience less of a chore and more of an adventure!
I specialize in mid-century architecture, and I do really get it!! If you have a hankering for originial marmoleum, or knotty pine,
post and beam construction, atriums and carports, I've got your number!!
My extra-curricular activites include: road tripping to search out elusive ghost towns, googie
architecture, neon signs and motels. I also spend a good deal of time searching out estate sales and
documenting the kitschy amenities of mid-century houses!
I'm also a dog owner (or does he own me? You Decide! <-- click here),
a band-manager & show promoter.
I ride vintage scooters/motorcycles, covet vintage travel-trailers, and live the vintage lifestyle.
That said, I spent four years (many years ago!) at Portland State University reading every history of architecture book
I could get my hands on. Taking every class germain to Portland History, every neighborhood revitalization and urban planning course available,
and even mastered the steps needed to put a house on the historic register! Until I started my career in
real estate I was a marketing manager and designer in the high tech industry (this is great experience for listing!!).
Recently I co-founded the Atomic Age Alliance - Portland , newly renamed MCMleague - www.mcmleague.org - a group of people dedicated to educating Portlanders
about the under-appreciated value both culturally and financially, of our mid-century buildings. I am currently Chairperson and VP, feel free to contact
me if you'd like to hear more or become a member!
Anyway thanks for your interest! I'm amazed how many different people from far off states and countries are checking
this website out! It's really quite entertaining! I hope you enjoy the information I've uploaded, and that it helps
you in your search for a home, a realtor, and a city!
Feel free to contact me with any questions, that's what I'm here for.
I'm your personal Alterna-Portland Tour Guide!

FAQ's
Q: Do you list houses? or are you just a buyer's agent? A: Yes, I definitely do list houses. I'd love to list yours, even if it's not specifically mid-century. My website is
well-attended, and with a background in marketing, I'm one up on many realtors out there!
Q: Will you put my listing on your website? A: Yes and No. It depends on the merits of your home - I choose picks of the week based on the home and nothing else.
Feel free to bring it to my attention, I wholly appreciate your interest, and yes, it's a great place for your listing!
I receive approx 1200 page loads and literally 800 visitors per month!! But wouldn't it just be easier if I listed your house in the first place??
Q: Can you direct me towards a contractor? A: Sure I can! Or at least I'll try. Also, if you have a minute, please peruse my Search page for the list I'm currently compiling!
Q: Do you want help with your website? A: I hand code this baby!! But sure, if you're free or free, I'm willing to upgrade! (and yes, I do have dreamweaver!)
