A Fourth-Generation Oregon Native

Grounded in Community, Connected to the Market

Born and raised in Oregon, Kim has a lifelong connection to the Portland metro area and a focused, lived-in understanding of West Linn. Her knowledge goes far beyond market stats. She understands how the neighborhoods feel, how the community functions day to day, and what truly matters when choosing where to live.

From the hillside views of Barrington Heights to the historic charm of Willamette, Kim brings hyper-local insight that helps buyers and sellers make confident, well-informed decisions.

Clients often say working with Kim feels less like a transaction and more like being guided by someone they trust. She listens closely, tells the truth, and keeps the process grounded and manageable from start to finish.

From Publishing to Real Estate

A Marketing Mindset That Gives Clients an Edge

Before real estate, Kim spent years as a luxury home magazine publisher. That experience shaped her eye for storytelling, presentation, and strategic marketing, skills that now give her clients a distinct advantage.

For sellers, this means homes are positioned thoughtfully and presented with intention. For buyers, it means guidance that goes beyond listings to help them truly see a home’s potential.

What this looks like in practice:

  • Strategic, polished listing descriptions

  • Magazine-quality photography and presentation

  • Marketing that stands out and attracts the right audience

  • An editorial approach that elevates each property’s story

This background allows Kim to combine creative vision with market knowledge in a way that benefits every client she serves.

How Kim Works

Supportive, Strategic, and Always in Your Corner

Kim’s approach is refreshingly straightforward. She believes in honest advice, consistent communication, and steady guidance, especially during high-stakes moments.

Clients value her for:

  • A calm, supportive presence throughout the process

  • Clear explanations and no-pressure guidance

  • Reliable follow-through and strong organization

  • Savvy negotiation skills

  • Feeling genuinely supported from start to finish

Whether you’re buying your first home or transitioning out of a longtime one, Kim’s goal is always the same: to help you feel informed, confident, and in control.

Life Beyond Real Estate

Family, Community, and the Oregon Lifestyle

Outside of work, Kim enjoys the Oregon lifestyle she helps others move here for, including local wineries, trail time, community events, and time with her child Ollie and family.

She believes deeply in the value of community and long-term relationships. Nearly all of her business comes from referrals, a reflection of the trust she builds and the care she brings to her work.
