Selling Your Home in Beaverton: What It’s Like to Work With Me

If you're thinking about selling your home in Beaverton, Oregon, you probably already know it’s more than just a financial decision. It’s a major life transition. That’s why who you choose to sell with matters so much.

When we work together, I’m not just here to list your house. I’m here to guide, prep, stage, strategize, and advocate. I help you sell your home with confidence, clarity, and a little less chaos.

Let me show you what I mean by sharing the story of Amanda and Scott.

From Family Photos to Listing Photos: A Full-Circle Journey

I first met Amanda and Scott in the early days of the pandemic. They had recently moved to Oregon from Northern California and were looking for a maternity photographer. Over the years, I had the honor of capturing some of their most special moments — from maternity to newborn photos, and then as their two sweet boys grew.

So when they decided to relocate back to California to be closer to family, they reached out to me again. This time, not for a photo session, but to sell their home.

It was a full-circle moment, and exactly why I do what I do.

Selling With Strategy (and Heart)

With two little ones and a home to buy in Southern California, timing and execution were everything. We met to map out a plan that covered timeline, prep work, pricing strategy, and what it would look like to sell in Beaverton while buying in another state.

They ended up finding the perfect home in California, which meant we had to move fast. I pulled together my trusted vendors to make quick, cost-effective updates. We refreshed all of their lighting fixtures, added supplemental staging, and did strategic decluttering to maximize space and flow. We made sure their home showed beautifully both online and in person.


We listed during the summer, which is typically a slower time in the Beaverton market. But with the right pricing and prep, their home was in contract in just 8 days. That allowed them to make a successful contingent offer on their dream home in California.

Why It Worked — and What Makes Me Different

  • I treat every listing like a project I’m personally invested in.
    From design advice to vendor coordination, I’m hands-on from start to finish.

  • I know how to stage and photograph a home so buyers fall in love.
    My background in photography is a huge part of why I got into real estate. I understand how to tell a story with visuals and how to make your home stand out from the scroll.

  • I bring calm, clarity, and strong strategy to big transitions.
    Selling and buying at the same time can be overwhelming, especially across state lines. I help make it feel manageable and get you across the finish line smoothly.

  • You work directly with me, not a team of strangers.
    I don’t hand you off after the listing appointment. I manage the entire process so you always know who to call, what comes next, and that someone has your back.
