Hi, I’m Mike!

I am the descendant of Pacific Northwest loggers, gold miners, and conquerors of the Oregon trail. I have plaid shirts in my DNA and I wear them proudly!

I know houses and I love everything real estate. I pour myself into my work, whether it’s finding buyers homes that they love, helping sellers make their homes shine, taking on DIY projects, or managing contractors for myself or for clients.

A Little More About Me

I am a native North Portlander and I love the city I grew up in. Homeownership changed my life, and after a long career in the corporate world, I committed myself to helping others accomplish their home ownership goals.

I have lived in every quadrant of Portland, and have even lived in Vancouver. I know this city and the surrounding areas well and can always point you toward the best places to eat in drink around town. I have a bachelor’s degree from the University of Portland, and a masters degree from the University of Oregon. I currently live in the Kenton neighborhood with my aging pup and if I have free time, you can find me playing soccer, practicing film photography, and taking on ambitious DIY projects..

What Sets Me Apart

  • I’m focused on building long-term relationships with clients versus pursuing a high volume of transactional business. I’ll be around long after your sale closes to provide advice and connect you with vetted contractors.

  • I’m available to you (almost) anytime. I don’t work with assistants and am never too busy for my clients. When you call me, you will get ME on the phone.

  • I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty. Whether you need last minute help getting your house prepped for sale or have an issue with a house you’re purchasing, I’m not afraid to roll up my sleeves and jump in.

  • I LOVE working with first-time buyers and people moving to the Portland metro area. I am patient and I love educating clients about houses and this beautiful city that we live in.

What My Clients Say

  • "Mike did a great job selling our house for us. He was responsive and very easy to work with. We really appreciated his knowledge of the market and how our property fit into it. He advised us on some additional projects we could complete prior to putting our house up for sale that really paid off in the end. We were reluctant at first but he had a great vision and we're very happy we took those extra steps. With his advice on timing, pricing and prep we fielded multiple offers in the first few days, all over asking and some with great terms. He understood our attachment to the house (our first) and helped us leave it way better than we found it. When we go to sell again we'll absolutely go with Mike and will recommend him to anyone in need of an agent. He's passionate about the work he does and it shows at every step of the process."

    Riley and Megan

  • “Mike was great! As first-time buyers, he explained everything honestly and clearly and guided us to our dream house faster than I could have hoped. He also used his knowledge to get great repair concessions and financing options. He made a stressful process so much better!”

    Marissa, Cori, and Freyja

  • "Mike was our real estate agent this summer when we sold and bought a home in Portland. He was great to work with and I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home too. He has excellent communication skills both when working with us but also with the other realtors. Mike is highly professional, reliable, a hard worker and is knowledgeable about both the selling and buying process. He also knows lots about home improvements and even helped us get our house ready by painting our front door, sanding down our counters, and putting in a new faucet in the kitchen sink. Selling and buying a home can be quiet the process and Mike helped make it go smoothly while supporting us along the way."

    Bethan and Mike

  • "Trust the process... Mike helped us navigate the home buying gauntlet and I would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone... maybe not jerks.. jerks shouldn't use Mike, they should go bother someone else. He provides a solid knowledge base and extensive contacts in all things home buying related. His calming presence was also a huge bonus when the inevitable stresses of making such a huge purchase come up. 5 stars.. would recommend."

    Gabe and Natalie

  • “Mike was super friendly, helpful and empathetic to my situation and needs as a buyer in a quickly changing market. He was quick to provide alternative solutions when a particular path turned up dry and has sustained his assistance well beyond the closing. He really came through to make the closing economics work out. I would highly recommend Mike for your real estate transaction needs!”
