Guiding sound decisions from the most perfect valley in the emptiest corner of the west.
“I get paid to sell. I’ll still tell you not to buy.”
I am a licensed Oregon Realtor working with residential buyers and sellers across Grants Pass, Josephine County, and the wider Rogue Valley. Over a decade in solar energy came first. I spent those years at homeowners’ kitchen tables, working through some of the largest financial decisions people make about their property. That work taught me to translate complexity without dumbing it down, and to give a straight answer even when the straight answer is to wait. I bring that to every transaction. You work with me directly, from the first conversation to closing day.
I work the full range of residential real estate. Whether you are buying, selling, downsizing, or investing, you deserve representation that puts your interests first. You get straight information and the truth about a property.
Specialties
Senior transitions
I hold the Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) certification, earned for the real estate side of later-life change. I handle downsizing, trust and probate sales, power-of-attorney situations, and families coordinating a move from three states away. These are rarely simple transactions. The emotional weight counts as much as the financial one. I work at your pace and keep everyone in the loop. The timeline is yours to set.

Homesteading and rural land
Southern Oregon is one of the few places where acreage, water rights, and off-grid living are still within reach. It also carries variables most buyers never check until after they close. Zoning categories decide what you can build. Wells, septic, wildfire risk, rural financing, and alternative build rules all differ between Josephine and Jackson counties. Before real estate I ran the workshop program at a 12-acre sustainable living demonstration site, and sat through over 80 hours of those workshops myself. I will tell you what a parcel can and cannot do before you fall for the view. 10 Tests Before You Homestead · Take the Parcel Reality Check Quiz
Relocation
Most people moving here come from California and other high-cost markets. Their assumptions do not all translate. For relocating buyers, I lay out the region as it is: the towns across the Rogue Valley and who each one suits, what your budget actually buys, and how to purchase well from a distance.

Second opinions
This is the largest financial decision of your life. Most people still hire the first agent they meet and stay put, even when something feels off. Interview several agents before you list. Get a second read on a price, an offer, or a strategy that does not sit right. If an agent is not serving you, leave and hire one who will. It is your home and your money. The decision is yours to get right.
This is where I do some of my best work. Before you sign with anyone, come talk. Get a read on your pricing strategy, your timeline, and whether the agent you are considering is actually the right fit. If a listing has expired, I will walk the comp math and tell you plainly why it sat. If you are already mid-process and something feels off, come talk. I get paid to sell. I will still tell you the truth. Either way, you leave with a second opinion you can use. Why Didn’t My House Sell? · Take the Listing Post-Mortem Quiz
