Finding the Right Real Estate Agent: Leveraging a Trusted Network

As a real estate professional with Coldwell Banker Bain, I know that buying, selling, or managing real estate often extends beyond a single market and often the markets are very different even within counties. Whether you’re relocating, investing, or seeking rental management expertise, having the right agent in your corner can make all the difference.

Recently, I had the pleasure of helping a contact in the Portland Metro area—specifically in the vibrant Orenco Station neighborhood of Hillsboro—find their perfect home. They wanted to have a like-new home, community amenities, and a smooth buying process. By leveraging my network, I connected them with a local expert who provided tailored support. The result? They landed an incredible home that met all their needs.

A Nationwide Network Backed by Experience

Being part of Coldwell Banker, a globally recognized brand with a reputation for excellence, allows me access to a deep pool of professionals across markets. But my connections don’t stop there. I’ve cultivated a network of outstanding agents at firms like Windermere, Sotheby’s International Realty, Corcoran, Redfin and so many other boutique agencies. This diverse network ensures I can connect you to the right agent, no matter your goals or market.

When I refer you to an agent, I’m not just handing off your information. I work to:

Understand Your Goals: Are you buying a family home, investing in a rental property, or relocating for work? Each journey requires specialized expertise.

Match You with the Right Fit: Whether it’s an expert in luxury homes, historic neighborhoods, or high-demand rental markets, I’ll connect you with someone who understands your priorities.

Ensure Ongoing Support: I stay involved, checking in to ensure the agent relationship is meeting your expectations.

Not Just Buying and Selling: Rentals and Investments

Real estate isn’t always about finding your forever home. Sometimes, it’s about growing your portfolio or managing a rental property. Through my connections with property management professionals and agents specializing in investment properties, I can ensure your real estate assets are in capable hands.

Recently, I’ve been touring properties that make incredible investments. Reach out if you have ever considered investments in Real Estate. My favorite property in Portland right now is a Duplex on an awesome street near the hospital. Perfect for home hacking, furnished rentals, or keep as is with two long term renters currently occupying. Whether you’re looking for help managing a single rental unit or seeking a long-term strategy for multiple properties, I can help connect you with experts who will guide you every step of the way.

A Background in Connection and Collaboration

Before pursuing my career in real estate, I built a strong foundation in account management specifically focused on recruiting.  My goal was on understanding client needs and matching them with the right professionals. This experience sharpened my ability to ask the right questions, identify key priorities, and facilitate meaningful connections.

Now, as a real estate agent, I apply those same principles to connect clients not only with the perfect property but also with community experts—from local agents and contractors to property managers and neighborhood resources. Real estate is about more than buying or selling a home; it’s about creating a sense of belonging in a new community and finding the right people to help you thrive there.

Why Referrals Matter

My goal is to make real estate easier and more enjoyable for my clients, no matter where they’re headed. By leveraging a network of trusted professionals across the nation, I help my clients navigate markets with confidence and care.

Whether you’re considering a move to a new city, looking for a rental property to add to your portfolio, or managing investment properties, I’d love to help.
