About Lisa

I am the newest addition to this family company... I have always loved looking at houses, remodeling, decorating and making a house into a home. I've helped my mom with remodeling, building and fixing ever since I could remember. I used to be out in my dad's shop with him as he built, created and fixed ..from the time I was 2 years old! It was my favorite place to be.

I also love to travel. So when I graduated high school, I went to International Air Academy- and worked for the airlines for several years. It was a lot of fun- I went all over the place. My favorite trip was to Singapore and Malaysia. I learned a lot about customer service working for the airlines- how to get things done, take the initiative when there are problems.be a go-getter! But the airlines didn't pay much- so I went on to be a corporate travel agent- helping travelers from big companies like Hewlett Packard etc. I loved working in the travel industry..until I got pregnant and had my son, Oliver. Then I realized I just couldn't leave him 8-10 hours a day, 5 days a week. My mom and sisters were all realtors- and they suggested I get my real estate license- and they would all help me with Oliver. So I did! And I love it!

My first month I sold 4 houses! And have been going b ever since! I especially like to help young families who either have little ones or want to have a family. I bought my house 3 1/2 years ago- for $105,0000. We have been fixing it up ever since- refinished wood floors, new kitchen, remodeled bathroom. It's a lot of fun. Our next project is to add a staircase and open up the upstairs so we will have more room.

I am specializing in the east side of Portland. I live in Lents- which is in the urban renewal program- and will soon have 3 Max stops right in our neighborhood! I think SE Portland is a great place for young families to live- it's still affordable, the David Douglas School system has great schools- you can get low cost home improvement loans if you live in the urban renewal areas, and there are still a lot of cute old houses! I also work in Clackamas, Happy Valley, Oregon City, and all the areas around and in between.

So if you are first time home buyers looking for a house to either start your family, or move your family to- I'd love to help you.
