Working with Jean
Whether you're buying your first home, or selling the family estate, I provide the highest level of customer service to you. I moved to Portland from the Midwest over 20 years ago. I'm a serial home buyer/seller. I have an entrepreneurial background and intuitive nature which makes me a natural at helping people find their next home, and helping a home find its next people.
Selling Your Home
With a strong background in marketing, and a strong knowledge of the Portland Metro Real Estate market, I work hard to price your home fairly and competitively. In the current "declining" market it is important for Sellers to recognize that prices have declined significantly in the past few years. If you bought your home in 2005, 2006 or 2007, and want to sell it now, you may be selling for less than what you paid. The good news is that you will also be buying in a declining market. You will be able to purchase a property at less than you would have a few years ago, and at interest rates that are still incredibly low. With high inventories, and declining prices, it is imperative to price your home correctly, have it "show" beautifully, and be easily accessible to Buyers.
Buying A Home
I dedicate myself to helping you on the House Hunting side of things in the same project driven manner I use when I sell your house. I love looking at homes in all areas of Portland. I never tire of the search. But, my favorite thing, when I'm out with Buyers, is the "OMG, this is it!" moment. That's when my job truly begins. The process of writing the offer (based on comparable sales in the area), negotiating the sales agreement, standing by you in the process of inspections, (and possibly re-negotiating the deal), following through with the other Agent, the Escrow Officer, your Lender and getting it closed, are all my Top Priorities.
Summary
I'm a Full-Time Agent, dedicated to Real Estate only. I make a commitment to no more than 5 listings at a time. I'm a stand alone agent. When you call, you will talk to me, not an assistant or "team member". I specialize in the areas of close-in Metropolitan Portland. I am a twenty year resident of Portland. My office is located in Southeast Portland, and I live in Southwest Portland. I'm familiar with all areas, on either side of the Willamette, I enjoy an excellent reputation among other Agents as ethical, thorough and professional. I have excellent communication and negotiating skills, and a strong marketing background. I'm detail oriented and project driven. I get the job done.
