I am a residential and luxury real estate broker in Bend and Central Oregon, with a particular focus on Northwest and West Bend. I work with buyers and sellers who value clear thinking, sound judgment, and representation grounded in integrity rather than pressure. I hold the Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE) certification and the Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation, advanced training that strengthens my ability to advocate effectively and guide clients through important life transitions with care and precision.

Before becoming a real estate broker, I was a Professor of Spanish, and the core of that work continues to shape how I serve my clients today. Teaching required listening closely, asking thoughtful questions, and helping people navigate complexity with clarity and confidence. Those same skills guide my approach in real estate: I educate rather than pressure, translate complicated processes into clear decisions, and support clients with steady expectations and high standards throughout meaningful transitions.

Luxury in Bend is not about flash. It is about quality of life — space, light, privacy, and living well. My clients are building meaningful next chapters, and they want a partner who listens carefully, sees the full picture, and advocates for them with steadiness and care. 

That approach became the foudation for what I now call the R Factor: respect, reasons, and a refreshing experience. I consider it a privilege to work alongside clients as they move forward with clarity and confidence.
