Claire is a NE Portland girl. She was born and raised in the Wilshire neighborhood, and lived in the same house her entire childhood. She has grown up exploring the state through camping, white water rafting, and lounging on the deck at her Grandparents house on Devil’s Lake.
Claire spent her early adult years in the service industry, managing cafés and restaurants. She loved the social aspect of her job and got to appreciate firsthand all the wonderful food Portland has to offer. When the opportunity arose to change careers, she had no doubt she wanted to work in real estate.
Claire and her partner recently bought a house and have enjoyed making it their own through a kitchen remodel, repainting and decorating. She loves Portland, all its unique neighborhoods, eating out, drinking rose in the sun and cuddling with her pups. Dogs pretty much rule her world, and she wouldn't have it any other way.
Claire’s perfect day would start with a late “breakfast” at Santo Domingo on 42nd, followed by a long walk with her dogs and maybe some yoga. Claire loves cooking and entertaining, and is at her best when hosting a dinner party or backyard barbecue for friends and family. To finish off the day, she'd take in a couple of episodes of her favorite crime show snuggled up on the couch with her partner and pups.
Claire is a natural advocate; she is loyal and will fight for those she loves. She spends time working with CASA, a wonderful organization where volunteers are assigned a child in the foster care system to help advocate in their best interest through the duration of their case with the hope of reunification of families.
Purchasing real estate can be a stressful process, but is symbolic of a new journey and huge accomplishment. For Claire, being able to help people find their home is a great privilege.
