Meet Elaine
Specializing in East County, including areas like Gresham, Damascus, Happy Valley, and Boring, I have developed a deep understanding of the local markets. Whether clients are searching for detached residential homes, townhomes, condos, manufactured, or investment properties, I employ various search methods to find their ideal property. When selling a home, I implement comprehensive marketing strategies, including high-quality photography, staging "if needed," online promotion, and open houses to effectively showcase properties in the competitive market. I also pay special attention to the details which helps your property populate in more online searches.
Beyond the transaction, I believe in providing ongoing support and resources to my clients. My commitment to being there for them extends well beyond closing a deal, as I aim to build lasting relationships and assist with any real estate questions or needs. As a lifelong resident, I possess extensive local knowledge that helps guide clients towards homes situated near their desired amenities, understanding that a home is more than just the property itself—it's about creating a sense of belonging and enjoyment in the surroundings. Knowing so much about the area allows my listings to highlight things in the area to do.
Outside of real estate, I lead an active lifestyle, engaging in activities such as running, biking, hiking, snowboarding, golfing, and bowling. Additionally, I find fulfillment in coaching youth sports and being actively involved in my church community.
Affiliated with John L. Scott Realty, a reputable name in the industry, I am proud that my clients primarily come through referrals, which speaks to the trust and satisfaction they have in my services. Dedicated to providing exceptional service, I look forward to helping clients navigate the real estate market with confidence.
If you're ready to turn your real estate dreams into a reality, I would be honored to work together with you.
Portland
It’s true that Portland has a lot of nicknames: The Rose City. Stumptown. Beervana. River City. Bridgetown. PDX. I think it shows the affection Portlanders have for our city. Portland is in one of the most beautiful spots in the country. We enjoy tons of year-round outdoor activities. The Cascade Mountains with their year-round skiing and snowboarding are an hour to the east and the Pacific Ocean is an hour to the west. Willamette Valley Wine Country, which is known for its world-class pinot noirs, is a short drive away. But there are plenty of reasons to stay in the city too. Powell's City of Books is an entire city block of literary fare. Forest Park and Mount Tabor are both perfect for a hike or a picnic and you can’t beat the shopping and dining in the Pearl District or the art scene on Alberta and Mississippi Avenues. Our mild climate--with warm dry summers and cool wet winters--has given rise to the farm-to-table movement in local restaurants. Salmon, pork, and beef all come from local purveyors and they pair with locally grown produce and international flavors to make Portland a foodie's dream city. Portland has one of the lowest crime rates of a major American cities and the cost of living is low compared to other West Coast cities. Homes range from historic mansions in the West Hills and restored bungalows in inner Southeast to highrise condos in the Pearl and downtown and new construction and other up and coming neighborhoods. If you’d like to learn more about Portland let us know. We’d love to show you around and help you find your perfect home.
Reviews
"Elaine is a fantastic real estate agent. She took the time to familiarize me with the neighborhoods and towns I was
curious about. She planned our time well and we were able to see many houses in a short period of time, since we were
moving from out of state. She knew the areas and the market well. She went above and beyond to make sure I knew all of
the important things about my house and served as eyes and ears for me through the inspection period since I was not in
town. Couldn’t have asked for a better fit for me!"

“I would highly recommend Elaine if you are selling or buying, she is very good at her job and her knowledge is
extensive. We just purchased a home with her help and the experience was great. She knows the process when it comes to
escrow and will keep everyone on track so you can close on time. She is honest and will let you know if a house you are
viewing has any issues you are not aware of. Her attention to detail is amazing! The process of buying or selling can be
a very stressful time, so you need to work with someone you trust and who has your back. Elaine was that person for us!"
