Buying And Selling
Buying
Buying a home in the Portland market can be fast-paced, competitive and nerve-wracking. It can also be exciting, fun, and the start of a great new chapter in your life. Since it is a major decision that takes strategic planning and research, Tom will work with you every step of the way, listening to your needs and providing the information you need to make the best choices.
Selling
Selling your home is one of the biggest decisions one will make in a lifetime. It takes a trusted advisor, consultant, and professional to guide you through the complicated steps of the selling process. Tom will act as your trusted advisor, providing you with superior customer service from the first meeting, through the sale process and beyond.

About Tom
About Tom
I was born & raised and have lived in the Portland Metro Area most of my life. My family’s history and the development of the Portland area go back many generations. In my twenties I moved away from Portland and traveled to different parts of the world. In doing so I realized that Portland is a pretty special place to live and moved back. I love all four seasons Portland has to offer and the outdoor activities that go along with them. I’m a volunteer and contributor to many charities. Selfless acts of kindness bring much joy to my life.
In arriving at my destination as a real estate agent my career took a few paths. From Interior Visual Design to Corporate Rebranding to Facilities & Maintenance Management. They all contributed to my solid management skills with years of experience in interior design, painting & maintenance and all phases/facets of project and people development. I’m a handyman with an advanced knowledge in all areas of home repair and creative thinking to better any living space and have a keen eye, making me an asset to assist you in visualizing just how your world could settle into your new home.
I am a strong negotiator and advocate for my clients using straightforward, honest communication every step of the way. I know home buying/selling can be stressful on top of an already busy life– I keep things organized, effectively communicate with all parties involved in the process, and always make myself available to answer questions and keep the process stress free.
