Originally a Southern California native with a great job and a beautiful home, I found myself questioning; is this the life I want to be living?  
After a head-on car crash, being a witness to two violent crimes, and receiving a gun as a present on my 35th birthday, I realized it was time to find a better place on earth to live.  So, we visited
Southern Oregon

The attraction to Grants Pass, Oregon was the beauty of the land, the friendliness of the people, and the cost of living.  Oregon offers no sales tax, DMV registrations at $84.00 for two years, and affordable housing prices.  Not to mention, the simple pleasures of not having to pump your own gas... it's full service for everyone in Oregon.

I'm often called a matchmaker
.  Probably due to the fact that my team and I work together with unique motivation and creativity, introducing eager clients to just the right property.  
With our client's interest at heart, we do our homework.  When working with buyers, we research what's available in our client's price range (never going over unless given permission to do so).  We weed out incompatible matches and narrow down the search until the perfect pairing is made.  When working with sellers, our team focuses on what's important; attracting an abundance of buyers to the property, negotiating the best possible price, and closing the transaction with the least amount of hassles.

Accomplishing these tasks requires considerable knowledge, skill, and understanding.  It takes knowing how to make a personal connection between the individual needs of a client, and the idiosyncrasies of a particular property.  It also requires a special appreciation for the area and its immense beauty.  My team and I make every effort to combine all of these elements into each transaction with the ultimate goal of
Creating Relationships of Land and Life.

Perhaps it's your desire to find a personable down-to-earth Realtor to help you make your next move.  I could spend a lot of time talking about my sales experience, prestigious real estate designations, or other accolades, but I don't want to bore you.  The important stuff is, I don't like sales pitches or arm-twisters, so you won't get that from me.  I won't try to fit a square peg in a round hole, and I hope you don't either.  If it's a good deal, I'll tell you.  And, if it's a bad deal, I'll tell you.  What you can expect from me is straight-forward answers and a sincere effort to help you find what you're looking for.  And in the end, I certainly hope we'll be life long friends!
