I've spent the past 20+ years building a career rooted in experience, adaptability, and a genuine passion for helping people achieve their real estate goals. I've worked through multiple market cycles, interest rate shifts, and changing financial conditions, and along the way I've developed proven strategies that consistently create winning outcomes for my clients.
I'm the Principal Broker of Portland Real Estate Consulting. I specialize in new construction, vintage homes, and everything in between.
What sets me apart is my depth of experience across the full spectrum of residential real estate. My background in new construction sales gives me firsthand knowledge of builder contracts, construction timelines, and the nuances that most agents simply don't have. For sellers, I bring in-house staging, professional marketing, and pricing strategies that consistently deliver results. My listings average less than 30 days on market and bring my sellers top dollar.
I've built a team of experienced agents who are available seven days a week, which means your clients always have someone ready to help, whether they're local or managing a purchase or sale from across the country. Multiple clients have trusted me with repeat transactions spanning years, and that long-term loyalty is something I'm deeply proud of.
I'm passionate about leadership, personal development, and travel, and I bring that same growth mindset to my real estate practice every day.
If you have a client headed to the Portland area, I'd be honored to take great care of them. They'll get a 22-year veteran with new construction expertise, in-house staging, a responsive team, and the kind of market knowledge that only comes from working through every type of cycle.
"Melissa is the best realtor! She helped us purchase our new construction home in 2015, and when it came time to sell, we were excited to work with her again. We moved 3,000 miles away prior to listing, and Melissa was always available throughout the sale process. Her team got us multiple offers in less than 4 days and they were well beyond our expectations!"
"As first-time homebuyers, we were unsure how to navigate the process, but Melissa's knowledge made everything seamless and stress-free. She took the time to understand our needs and found a house that met every one of them. Her expertise helped us ask the right questions, ensuring we made informed decisions along the way. Her negotiation skills were amazing, securing us the best possible deal."
"Thank you Melissa so much for getting us in the house of our dreams. You are so helpful and honest and we really do love the house you found for us. Thanks to you, we had a fantastic first home buying experience. Five star experience!"
When you refer a client to me, they're getting a 22-year veteran with a full team, in-house staging, and new construction expertise that most agents can't match. I'll provide strategic guidance, responsive communication, and the kind of hands-on service that keeps clients coming back years later.
I'm responsive, available, and always keeping my clients informed. Whether they're local or managing a transaction from 3,000 miles away, I make sure they feel connected and confident at every stage. I keep both clients and referring agents in the loop with consistent updates so the process feels smooth from start to finish.
