Sara Backus

As a native Oregonian, I couldn't be more proud to call Portland my home. I grew up in Lake Oswego, but have lived in Portland most of my life. I work all over Portland and surrounding areas, but as a NE Portland resident for over 20 years, I consider myself a bit of an Eastside expert. I’m an interior design enthusiast, architecture addict, and furniture fanatic.

I have an extensive background in sales, advertising, and marketing and spent 14 years as an Account Executive/Project Manager at award winning Willamette Week Newspaper and Portland Monthly Magazine. I worked for several local Interior Designers and most recently for a home staging company, which solidified my desire to become a Real Estate Agent..

I say this often, but I'm one of the lucky ones in that my career is truly a marriage of my passions. I'm honored to be a part of the John L. Scott team. I hope to be a valuable resource to the real estate market and look forward to guiding you through the buying or selling process, in addition to offering interior design tips and home staging consultations.
