Central Oregon Coast Real Estate

Hello,

I am a coastal native, grew up in an old 1905 Victorian in Astoria living near and attending through grade school Star of the Sea School.  I come from a family of seven and lived in a neighborhood where by best friend, who was one of ten children, lived right next door.  I have enjoyed the beauty and recreational activities of living on the Oregon coast all of my life, clam digging on the beach near the Peter Eirdale wreckage and learning to windsurf on the lake near where I live now.  I have raised my three daughters in the Lincoln City community and been a member of Kiwanis Club serving as secretary for a number of years.  I love selling real estate for the enjoyment I get from seeing people realize their dream of home ownership or vacation home ownership. 

Buying a home? I have extensive knowledge of the central and north Oregon coast areas and markets having lived here all of my life and sold hundreds of properties over the past 18 years.  It's fun to show people the beautiful coastline areas and to custom fit their budget and housing needs with the specific areas and market values.
