Real Estate for Real People


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!

Hi, I’m Elise.


Kathleen W.

“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.
