Buying or selling a home is a major milestone, and you deserve a Realtor who truly listens, advocates for you, and makes the process feel easy. I stay ahead of the details, handle the heavy lifting, and make sure you feel supported and confident from day one. Whether you’re buying your first home, moving to the Pacific Northwest, or selling a longtime property across Portland or Vancouver, my goal is simple: to deliver a smooth, strategic experience centered entirely on what matters most to you.

I’ve called Portland home since falling in love with the PNW back in 2002. My background in film, publishing, and hospitality shaped how I work with clients today. It gave me a strong foundation in adaptability, creative problem-solving, and building genuine personal connections.

When I’m not helping clients, I love movies, game nights, comedy shows, yoga, and time with close friends. You’ll often find me walking my pup, Copilot, at Mt. Tabor or tackling a home remodeling project with my spouse.

We had such a great experience working with Lou. From the very beginning, she helped us prepare our home for sale and guided us through the entire process with care and confidence. Lou offered smart, practical advice that helped our home stand out and sell quickly. She was always easy to reach, patient with our questions, and made sure we felt supported every step of the way. When it came time to find our new home, Lou went above and beyond once again. She really listened to what we were looking for and helped us find the perfect fit for our family. Her knowledge, honesty, and positive attitude made the experience not only smooth but genuinely enjoyable. We’re so thankful for everything Lou did for us and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Lou put in the time and effort to make sure that our home was ready for sale within the timeline that we had agreed upon and then within 4 days we had our first offer on the house. This was our first time selling a house and it was painless, easy, and truly a treat to work with Lou! I will recommend her to anyone that wants to buy or sell a home! She was our realtor for the purchase and the sale of the house and it couldn't have been any easier! Thanks Lou!

Lou is an absolutely phenomenal realtor. She helped us purchase our first home in Portland, and fought for our interests as well as provided guidance every step of the way. She was an amazing resource and advocate. She is hardworking, kind, and has excellent communication skills. My husband and I couldn’t recommend her more.

Wow, where do I even begin! Lou is the best of the best. As a first time home buyer, she explained the process to me every step of the way. She took time at the beginning to understand my wants and needs, and is extremely knowledgeable about Portland real estate. She has the inside scoop on homes in all areas of Portland and has lived here for over 20 years, so she truly understands the area. The home buying process itself was the most impressive part. Lou is extremely organized and responsive, and she advocated for me well with the sellers. I was able to get an amazing deal :) She also has connections with electricians, plumbers, crawlspace specialists, contractors… I could go on and on. I was recommended to Lou by a friend and would recommend her to anyone I know. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you Lou!!

Lou was incredibly talented from start to finish! Even when I had questions after closing, she took extra time to help me. There is no doubt, whether it’s your first time buying a home, or your 5th, that she would be the best for the job. My experience was great and she was very knowledgeable.
