Q: I want to buy a vineyard property/commercial building/floating home. Can you help me?
A: I’m going to defer to the experts on this one. These kinds of properties have very specific concerns that I’m not as familiar with, but I have colleagues who live and breathe these things. Get in touch with me and I’ll set you up with someone fabulous.

Q: I’m looking for a place to rent. Can you help?
A: In Portland, rentals and apartments are handled without the involvement of Realtors, and there’s no central listing place the way there is with properties for sale. That being said, I know rentals are hard to come by, so I try to lend a matchmaking hand whenever possible. Shoot me an email with the basics (price range, area, size, pets) and I’ll keep my eye out for you.

Q: What the heck is Word on the Street?
A: Word on the Street is my monthly dispatch (aka newsletter), covering Portland real estate market activity, sales statistics, and real estate eye candy.  It’s short, to the point, and pretty awesome. You can sign up for it here.
