Let’s get you cooking in it.
Stop daydreaming about your next home’s kitchen.
you’ve been scrolling Zillow like it’s your part-time job, checking Redfin alerts, and convincing yourself you don’t really need an agent. You’ve got Zillow, Redfin, a cousin with a real estate license, and a friend who “knows someone.”
How hard could it be, right?
Here’s the thing: buying or selling a home in Portland isn’t just about finding something cute with a nice kitchen. It’s about knowing what’s normal here, what’s a red flag, what’s worth fighting for — and when to walk away.
You don’t need more listings. You need someone who actually understands the market, sees through the noise, and tells you the truth — not just what gets the sale.
No overwhelm. No guesswork. Just simple steps and strategy.

We’ll start with an honest conversation about your life, not just your budget. How you live, where you want to be, what your “non-negotiables” actually look like. I’ll help you figure out what’s realistic, what’s wish list, and where to focus so you’re not chasing the wrong houses.
We Talk — Like, Really Talk
step one
This is where you’ll learn my rule of 80/20. If the house has 80% of what you want, it’s worth a look! I’ll show you homes that truly fit your lifestyle and budget — not every new listing that pops up. And I’ll tell you point blank when a house isn’t worth your time.
The Fun Part — Touring Homes (Without the Panic)
step two
Here’s where my strategy kicks in. I’ll guide you through how to write an offer that gets noticed — without overpaying or waiving everything that protects you. We’ll talk through timelines, contingencies, and how to stand out in a multiple-offer situation without losing your mind.
Writing an Offer That Wins
step three
That inspection report? It’s going to be long. Usually 75+ pages, filled with language that sounds terrifying — but I’ll help you interpret every line of it. Because here’s the truth: MOSTLY EVERYTHING is manageable…but paying for a new sewer line is not your responsibility…and getting rid of knob and tube electrical is an upgrade. Sorry, not sorry. It’s just the way things roll here. But we’ll sort through what matters, what’s cosmetic, and how to use the report to your advantage.
Inspection day - Don't freak Out
step four
This is where I do what I do best — staying calm and strategic under pressure. Whether it’s negotiating repairs, credits, or timing, I’ll help you get what you want without losing the house you love.
Negotiating Like a Pro
step five
I’ll walk you through every final detail, make sure nothing slips through the cracks, and keep everyone on track until the keys are in your hand. And yes — I’ll probably be there with a housewarming hi five (honestly- i’m just not a hugger).
Closing & Moving In
step six
Once you’re in, I don’t disappear. Need a plumber, roofer, or someone to tackle that new bathroom tile? I’ve got a vetted list of Portland pros ready to go. I’m your go-to for all the “what now?” moments that come after move-in day. Whether you need someone to pop by and check your mail or grab that trash you forgot to put out before heading on vaca. Yep, I'm that kind of realtor.
Beyond Closing

Whitney B.
Not only did she have exceptional market knowledge, but she also had outstanding communication, and was very professional and reliable throughout the whole process. Stephanie genuinely cared about us finding our new home and has been extremely helpful even after closing! Highly recommend!

Home seller
Paul R.
She listened to our needs, and worked extremely hard to help us sell our house (she even pressure washed our driveway!) We got multiple excellent offers and she advised and worked with us to help pick the best offer. Highly Recommended!
"Stephanie was awesome to work with!"
Top producers have assistants.
sell YOUR PORTLAND HOME with me
You Have Me
I’m not juggling a dozen listings or handing you off to someone who doesn’t know your dog’s name. I move with intention — because this isn’t just a transaction, it’s your life.
Be honest… does your “Top Producer” pick up your mail when you’re out of town?
Didn’t think so.
When you list with me, I cover the cost of professional staging — every single time. Why? Because it’s the right thing to do, and because it works. Staged homes sell, on average, 73% faster and for up to 10% more than non-staged homes. Presentation matters. Buyers decide how they feel about a home within seconds, and I’m not about to let those seconds go to waste.
I’ll bring in my trusted stagers, handle the design plan, and make sure your home hits the market looking its absolute best — without you lifting a finger. You focus on packing; I’ll focus on profit.
And the results speak for themselves:
My listings average just 13 days on market and sell for 102% of list price.
When you work with me, you get experience, honesty, and a plan that works. I’ll tell you what’s worth doing, what’s not, and how to position your home so it doesn’t just sell fast —
Maybe you’ve heard the stories — listings that sit for weeks, agents who overpromise and disappear, or houses that could’ve sold for more with the right prep and marketing. Here’s the truth: you don’t need a “top producer” who’s juggling a dozen listings and doesn’t have time to care — you need someone who actually gives a damn. Someone who treats your home like it’s her own, and knows how to get it sold quickly, cleanly, and for top dollar.
Thinking about selling your home but not sure where to start?
it sells well.
