About Sara
Native Oregonian and longtime Portlander, I’ve called NE Portland home for more than 25 years. I’m lucky to have roots on the North Coast with a family home in Cannon Beach. I’m fueled by family, flora, four-legged friends, faraway places, and homes with heart.
Before real estate, I spent 14 years in sales, storytelling, advertising, and marketing at Willamette Week and Portland Monthly. Pair that with my background in interior design and home staging, and real estate became a natural next chapter. I’m inspired by architecture, drawn to bold, thoughtful design, and deeply appreciative of homes with soul.
I believe every home has a story. Preparation with purpose, presentation with personality, and strategy with intention make all the difference. Whether you’re buying, selling, upsizing, downsizing, or dreaming about what’s next, I’ll be beside you from first look to final signature bringing local knowledge, strategic insight, a designer’s eye, and a whole lot of heart to the process.
Homes with heart, history & harmony. Forever romanced by real estate.
