About Blake

Welcome, I am so happy you are considering moving to Portland. The Portland area has a thriving LGBQT+ community and has one of the highest percentages of people identifying as LGBQT+ which makes me proud to live and thrive here. As with any place, you're probably asking "is Portland right for me?", and rightly so. It's a huge life decision to get up and move. I'm happy to speak with you FRANKLY about the Pro's and Con's of living in such a liberal place.... you're welcome to pick my brains. But if you do end up determining Portland is right for you, I'd love to help you. I'm a Top Producer for my brokerage office, and a majority of my business comes from repeat clients (yes, even lesbian clients). I've been selling real estate for over a decade, I know this market and have bought and sold several of my own properties here. I specialize in getting you into the right home! I'm happy to send you out a list of LGBTQ+ organizations/clubs that are offered here in Portland (From Timberfish Swim Club, Lumberjack Rugby Club, Gay Bowling, The Lesbian Choir, Queer Cheerleading to Gay Softball and Queer Kickball).....

-I guide you through the purchase and keep you grounded through the whole process! Other specialties include eating at VooDoo Donuts (hey, I'm a bear after all...) and finding the best beers in the area (I mean, Portland has the most Independent Ale Houses on the west coast). Oh, and the restaurants.... such a vast selections of goodness! (I should write a blog about the restaurants here).

-For Sellers, I make the process as simple and easy as humanly possible. Keeping the drama low and advising you what's best for the house and your real estate goals. And a fantastic marketing plan which includes identifying where your buyer is most likely coming from, to targeted marketing in and outside of the area.. You'd be glad we worked together. I work my rump off for you! Ask me for a list of properties I've sold. Thanks for reading-Blake

Blake is absolutely outstanding! The materials he created for our home was absolutely stunning. I believe that had a lot to do with how quickly we received our offer. He was reasonable, logical, and super honest about what could be done. We took his advice and followed his lead and that lead to just an amazing outcome. He helped us through some very difficult times with the buyer, kept us focused on the goal, and helped to remove so much of the noise. We are now able to move onto bigger and better things because of Blake. We will be forever grateful for his guidance.

Blake was an absolute pleasure to work with and I feel so fortunate to have found him when I was searching for a new home and then when I needed to sell. He was informative and patient with me, as a first time buyer, and went out of his way to help me coordinate my move in. He kept in touch to check in on the home and assisted me in finding service providers when I needed to conduct maintenance.

When I listed my home, he took care of everything and explained the steps along the way. He made sure it was as stress free as possible.. which was much appreciated as I was managing the process of moving out of the country!

He even coordinated calls while I was working on the east coast to manage offer evaluations and closing details. I cannot recommend him highly enough if you are selling your home. He’s an absolute professional and goes the extra mile for his clients!

Blake was amazing. We were purchasing a home from across the country without the ability to come see the house first. Blake had wonderful communication skills and had great ideas on how to select a home. He always impressed me with his willingness to go the extra mile.
