Turning Transactions Into Relationships
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? A Doctor, Firefighter, Policeman, Engineer, Astronaut? I wanted to be a Vet, because my heart wanted to help! And to help those without a voice is wonderful (plus they are so cute right?!). Fast forward a lot of years to me getting married and having kids…
Hi there, I’m Christie! I am a wife and mother of 3 beautiful little girls! I love my family more than anything, they are what drives me to be who I am today! They are also who helped me learn my passion: Real Estate. I know, I didn’t become a vet…turns out you have to perform surgery on sweet little furry animals.
After getting married, my husband and I moved to San Diego for my husband finish college. We all know how young college students live…poor and living from paycheck to paycheck. HGTV became my new best friend! We had dreams for our future, and for the family we started down there. So I fell in love with houses and real estate. Anything having to do with showing homes, open houses, and seeing all the people on the real estate shows get what they desired and the happiness they shared (and I shared from afar). Yes I realize it was a T.V. show so it’s not like it is ALL real, but the houses were real along with the happiness and help. I knew I wouldn’t be happy doing anything else career wise.
Fast forward a few years and a few kids later as well as moving back to Oregon. I decided it was time to start doing something for myself for once (as a stay at home mom I often put myself last). I went through schooling and put my heart and soul into getting my Oregon Real Estate License. Ever since I obtained my license, I have never been happier in a career!
Outside of my family, real estate is my passion. I started doing it to enjoy, as something just for myself. It is something I get to look forward to every day even if I’m not specifically helping a client. My joy is helping others find the home they love, the home they see their family and their future in. When you are my client I put my heart and soul into helping you. You become more than just my client!
As an Oregon native I’ve had the privilege to experience all of the things this beautiful region has to offer. I was born and raised on the East side of the Portland Metro, and have since lived on the West side. I’ve been to many beach towns over and over, and have a great knowledge of a variety of different areas. This gives me expertise not many others possess being that I know everywhere very well and you can rest assured that if you are looking in Gresham/Troutdale, Beaverton/Hillsboro, Tillamook and beyond I know all the areas you will be asking about and looking to move!
What is the biggest purchase you will make in your lifetime? Yep, your home! And I will make sure you are getting what you deserve in your purchase. I have top of the line marketing materials and a great understanding of the market, which means your house will sell for top dollar with me! I make sure not to overload my schedule so that I am extremely attentive to my current clients. You will not get 3rd parties sending/receiving/gathering any documents or creating anything having to do with your home. You will get 100% of me and my hard work will show through, after all it is what I love!
Whether you’re thinking about buying or selling, or if you’re just curious about what the market is doing, I would love to chat! And I’m always happy to do a free Market Analysis on your current home if you’re wondering how much it is worth. Contact me today! I look forward to helping in any way I can 🙂
