I Earned a Spot on The 2026 Real Trends Verified List
I made the 2026 Real Trends Verified List this year, ranking in the top 1.5% of agents nationally.
What I like about this particular list is what it's based on: closed transactions, not reviews, not ad spend, not who submitted the flashiest self-nomination. It's one of the few rankings in this industry you can't really buy your way onto.
A good chunk of what got me there was relocation work, helping people move to Portland from out of state, often sight-unseen on the neighborhood, sometimes sight-unseen on the house. That's a harder kind of deal to close well, and it's the work I've built my business around.
Grateful to the clients who trusted me with it, and to REAL Brokerage for backing that kind of work.
