More About Me (Probably more than you really want to know!)

As a real estate broker in Redmond for the last six years I can honestly say I truly love my job. Sure, we all have those “why do I do this?!” days, but when that day is done, I’m always glad I do what I do. The first brokerage change of my career happened this February when I became partners with a collegue in our new venture, Desert Sky Real Estate, LLC. It was a natural partnership, as we have been covering each other’s business for years in order to feel comfortable taking that much needed time away (and trust me, you REALLY DO need that time away!). Which brings me to what I do when I don’t do real estate.

One of the things I enjoy most in life is travel to other cultures, seeing how other families live. It is an eye opener to see the “homes” of others (sometimes consisting of corrugated roofing as walls or a single room of bamboo and thatch) and realize what a privilege it is to own a home. That frame of reference helps me to fully appreciate the value of owning a comfortable home and drives me to provide the service and care clients deserve in accomplishing that goal. Now more on that travel I mentioned.

Much of my time off involves mission trips to serve others. Each year my husband and I travel to Tijuana, Mexico with our church youth group, sometimes venturing further into remote Mexico to provide health care for nataive Indian tribes. My favorite and most memorable trips by far are to the jungles of Nicaragua to serve the Miskito Indian tribes. This particular trip involves more that can be mentioned here but includes: several days travel down the Rio Coco River in a canoe (well, really a hollowed out tree with a motor stuck to it); hikes through the rain soaked jungle (usually touted as 10 minutes and turning into 2 hours); meals of rice & beans, rice & beans and rice & beans, along with randon "meat parts" (ever been served the "egg shoot" of a chicken?); sleeping in hammocks (this part is actually pretty nice); medical clinics (my husband is an Internal Medicine doctor and in Nicaragua I play “pharmacist”); and really just about anything else that needs to be done. In addition we try to bring some unique fun to the area in the form of movies run by generator (since there is no electricity in the middle of the jungle) or just playing with the local children. For me, a nice healthy mix of work, service to the church, travel for service, and travel for pleasure seems to fit the bill in keeping all aspects of live flowing along. I can’t think of anything more exciting or fulfilling. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Areas of Expertise

As a real estate professional in Oregon, it is important to me to continually improve my ability to serve you by staying on top of current market trends and by increasing my knowledge base through continuing education. In that pursuit I have received several professional designations along with additional specialized training.

Professional Designations:

• Certified Residential Specialist
  
• Residential Construction Certified
  
• Certified New Home Specialist
  
• Women's Council of Realtors

Community Involvement

Professional:

• Redmond Downtown Partnership - Design Review Committee
• Redmond Chamber of Commerce

A way of giving back to the community I work in is by joining brainstorming groups to find creative ways to improve the usability of our downtown corridor to increase traffic to local business, thus growing the usability and desirability of our local resources. Support of the communities we live and work in is paramount to the success of those communities.

Community:

• Fund-raising - City Center Church Youth
• Missions Coordinator - City Center Church
• Youth Missions - City Center Church
• Medical Missions to Nicaragua
• Young Adult Group Leader - City Center Church

On of the most important things we can do as community members is to find a niche to help out in. For me that is helping with the development of future community leaders through mentoring and teaching them how to serve, not only the community they live in, but the communities of others as needs arise. A solid foundation of youth and young adults equals a solid future community.

Aspects of our Central Oregon Community that I Enjoy Most:

• Mountain Biking
• Snowboarding
• Hiking (In Central Oregon you can often do all of the above at the same time of year.)
  
• Strolling through our local downtown areas.
• The many fine restaurants available.
• Seeing people I know when I'm out and about.
• SUNSHINE!!! (Even when it's cold)
