Real Estate for Real People
Buying or selling a home is a big decision. My approach is straightforward: I take the time to understand your goals, provide clear market insights, and guide you through each step of the process. I focus on keeping things organized, transparent, and low-stress—so you can move forward with confidence and peace of mind. We’ll have a little fun along the way too …
Hi, I’m Elise.
I’ve lived in Portland since I was 10 years old. I love this city. I love people. I love homes. My background is in project management, design, and education.
All roads lead to here!
My favorite places to be (besides home) are the mountains and the beach. I find joy in spending time with my family and friends, walking my dog (Bixby), traveling, thrifting for treasures, and working on my house with my husband (Pete).
I’ve had the privilege of living in every quadrant of the city, so I know what makes each neighborhood so special. I’ll always be an NEP (Northeast Portland) girl at heart, but I currently call Southeast home, and I absolutely love it.

“Elise helped us buy our first home, and we couldn't have asked for a better representative. She really helped us to understand the steps involved the entire way through, and how all of those things applied to us. When it came time to put an offer in, Elise strategized very quickly based on the listing and our budget to create a competitive offer which got us the house of our dreams. I would highly recommend Elise to anyone searching for, or selling a home.”

“Elise is everything you could ask for in an agent. My husband and I recently bought our first home and she was friendly, professional, and patient with our many questions. We felt grateful to have her in our corner and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a great realtor!”

“We cannot recommend Elise enough. Elise guided us through buying our new home in NE Portland and selling our previous home in Overlook. She was communicative, thorough, and advocated tirelessly for us as both buyers and sellers. Thanks to her planning and expertise, we sold our home for nearly $50k over asking in a market where similar homes weren’t selling. On the buying side, she ensured we felt confident and well-represented during negotiations. Elise let nothing slip through the cracks and made the entire process seamless. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would recommend her a thousand times over.”

“Elise did an outstanding job staying on top of our transaction and was very attentive to the details. She is a very good communicator and I'm glad we had her looking our for our interests!”

“I just bought my first home with Elise and couldn’t thank her enough for her dedication, support, and partnership throughout the whole process. Right from the start, Elise understood what I wanted in my home. As a Portland native, she knew which neighborhoods and streets to explore to meet my needs. Even when I drifted away from my non-negotiables, Elise was patient and gave me the space to explore other options. She was always responsive, accommodating, and attentive -- someone I could count on every time. When I found the perfect home, Elise didn’t let it slip away. She drafted a competitive offer, advocated for my needs, and ultimately sealed the deal. Go find yourself a dream home with Elise - would recommend partnering with her hands down!”

In addition to being a joy to work with, Elise is extremely knowledgeable about neighborhoods and homes! She is very responsive and ultimately helped my partner and I find our dream home! Would recommend over and over again.
