As a founder and Principal Broker for Pinot Noir Properties, I’m proud of our business model that’s dedicated to providing our clients with exceptional care and professionalism whether buying a home or selling one. An important part of any successful real estate transaction starts with truly understanding the market when representing a client.
My extensive real estate experience in Oregon, Washington, California, and Idaho, has allowed me to work on everything from straightforward sales to complex transactions. This experience has honed my negotiation skills that provide positive outcomes for my clients who are looking for the best possible deal for their property. While I enjoy working with and negotiating for our clients, I also leverage my decades of professional experience to help mentor our team of real estate professionals.
This means helping them learn and understand the best practices behind listing and buying homes, understanding what it means to provide excellent customer service, and helping make people’s dreams come true. The passion I have for helping people going through change and reaching for their dreams is what continues to drive me today.
Some tid bits about my background include graduating from Southern Utah University, working in the nonprofit world for many years mentoring high school students and adult leaders, and becoming a real estate professional over 17 years ago. My career has also included being a trained executive and life coach, and a certified instructor. I’ve also spoken at various organizations such as The League of Oregon Cities, and Appraisal Institute.
So what do I like to do when I’m away from my desk? I live in McMinnville, Oregon with my wife, Sarah, daughter and two dogs. I enjoy golf and friendships at Michelbook Country Club, taking walks and grabbing a bite to eat at many of our local eateries. And of course, enjoying our delicious Oregon wines!
