Those early years, filled with delightful discoveries of old bottle dumps buried around long-abandoned homesteads, sparked a love for antiques, and later, historic homes.
At 23, I started my contracting journey, drawn to the charm of the Craftsman era. As my business grew, so did my fascination for period restorations that could transport you back in time. The soft colors, stained glass, and Art Deco styles – I found each of them to be a unique piece of beauty.
Fast-forward 35 years, I’ve hung up my contractor hat and embraced the world of real estate. But I didn’t leave everything behind. My years as a general contractor have equipped me with invaluable insights, a keen eye for detail, and an eagerness to listen to client’s dreams. Let’s just say, when you talk, I listen – really listen – because I believe that’s where the magic happens in creating a happy property journey.
As your realtor, my mission is to guide you, whether you’re a first-time home buyer or a seasoned investor. For first-time buyers, I’ll walk you through the buying process, provide a thorough analysis of the property’s condition, and help you get pre-approved seamlessly.
Selling a home? Let me share this – one of my recent listings sold in just six days (all cash), after 43 showings and nine offers. I can help you get there too. And if you’re eyeing a multi-unit investment property, I’ll evaluate its safety, and show you how to boost profits by creating a sense of community.
With a lifetime of experience, I’m ready to help you navigate the real estate waters of Salem and Woodburn, Oregon, giving you the confidence to make the right decision. Let’s work together, and turn your real estate dreams into reality.
