I am a U.S. Army veteran originally from the MIdwest who moved to Oregon to attend Grad School and never left. I am also a Diamond member Multi-Million Dollar Realtor, a Top Ten producing agent, and have had years of experience as a Branch Manager. As an added bonus, my previous career was as a Child & Family Psychotherapist, which really helps in the negotiation phase of the deal... not to mention my skills in crisis management which is especially useful for my first-time home buyers!
My wife, Kristin, and I are active members in our community and honored to have been part of the Basic Rights state wide same sex marriage television campaign that helped make SSM law of the land.
I value your business and have many satisfied clients that will attest to our honesty, diligence, professionalism, attention to detail, promptness, sense of humor, ethics, and no pressure approach. In addition, I have experience as a buyer and sellers' agent, with investors, banks & attorneys in short sales (pre-foreclosures), land/rural sales, and out-of-state clients looking to move to the Pacific Northwest. I also have an unheardof 100% sales success rate which means ALL of my listings have sold within the contract period.
Give me the opportunity and you will see why one of my clients dubbed me, "The hardest working woman in real estate!"

Specialties:Shelly was personable and helped us navigate the extremely competitive Portland housing market. She answered all our questions quickly and gave great insight into what we could expect throughout the process. She’s an excellent negotiator, and that was a huge advantage when we got into a bidding war for our home. It was our first offer on any house, and it was accepted. That’s unheard of in the Portland market. She also negotiated additional benefits from the seller despite it being a seller’s market. Shelly really made a difference in getting us into our home, and we’re so grateful we chose her.
From the beginning, she was patient and VERY responsive to my incessant questions about the market in Oregon. We were only going to have 10 days to find a house and as the time for us to house hunt grew closer, she really dug into what would be the best fit for us. When we saw the listing that we knew would be our home, we let Shelly know immediately and she worked tirelessly over the next 3 days and a holiday weekend to make sure we got the home we knew we would love. We don’t even know half of the work she was doing on our behalf but we knew we were in good hands. Her years of experience in the Portland market paid off and we just closed on our home. Hopefully this will be our forever home, but if we ever need to sell/buy a house in Oregon, Shelly will be our only call for a realtor.
To say that the Portland, OR market was competitive in the spring of 2021 is an understatement. Shelly expertly and graciously coached us through the buying process (we were first-time buyers), and she even talked us out of putting an offer in on one property that we are so, so glad we did not get. My wife and I got our dream home, and it was all thanks to Shelly and her masterful knowledge of not only the Portland real estate market, but also of the ins and outs of a home, from the plumbing to the finishes. We cannot recommend Shelly enough.
