I've always been drawn to leadership — not for the title, but for the chance to help people see what they're capable of. Growing up in a family of small business owners, I learned early that your results are tied to your own effort.
Two years into my real estate career, I was teaching classes to other agents and advising homeowners through the housing crisis. That experience shaped the broker and advocate I am today.
Together with my husband Scott — who brings 25+ years of residential and commercial construction experience — we offer our clients a depth of expertise that goes far beyond the transaction.
The best time depends on your personal goals and timeline. I provide current market data so you can make an informed decision — whether you're buying your first home or selling a $3M property. Let's look at the numbers together.
Interest rates fluctuate, and they affect your purchasing power. I stay on top of market conditions and connect you with trusted lenders so you always have the most current information when making your decision.
Market conditions vary by neighborhood and price point. I analyze the data for your specific area and price range so you know exactly where you stand. That's how we create your advantage.
We work throughout NW Oregon, with deep expertise in Portland, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, West Linn, and surrounding communities. We also help relocating clients from across the country.

Selling a home can be stressful but Danielle was very thoughtful in guiding us through every step. She communicated with us every step of the way and made sure we knew everything that was happening. She helped negotiations go smooth to ensure we got a great offer.

My wife and I have worked with Danielle on the buying and selling of several properties over the last several years and recently worked with her to sell a view lot we owned. Danielle is incredibly hard working and professional. She is a strong communicator and very easy to work with and is our trusted advisor for Real Estate. I would highly recommend Danielle for all things Real Estate.

Happy Valley, OR · September 3, 2018
We found our dream home and contacted Danielle to go over options for buying and selling our current home. She helped us to get our house on the market four days later and we went pending in the next four and we’re able to buy our new home! She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout our entire closing process and is amazing to work with! As stressful as the proceeds could have been she made it feel smooth and easy, we loved working with Danielle.
