Sara Backus

Native Oregonian and longtime Portland resident, I’ve called NE Portland home for over 25 years—and I’m lucky to have deep roots on the coast with a family home in Cannon Beach. I’m fueled by family, flora, wanderlust, music, and my loyal pup.

With 14 years of experience in sales, advertising, and marketing at Willamette Week and Portland Monthly, along with a background in interior design and home staging, I’ve turned my passion for homes into a dedicated real estate career. I’m inspired by architecture, drawn to bold, thoughtful design, and deeply appreciative of homes with heart and soul.

Whether you’re buying or selling, I’m here to guide you every step of the way—offering strategic insight, design perspective, and expert staging advice to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
