Springfield · Thurston · Pleasant Hill · Lane County

Straight answers about Lane County real estate.

I moved here from Southern California in 2014 and never found a reason to leave. Now I help people buy and sell across Springfield, the east county, and everywhere in between. No script, no pressure, no disappearing after the contract is signed.

Where I work hardest

Three areas I know street by street.

I cover all of Lane County, but these three are where I spend the most time, know the most people, and can tell you what a place is actually like instead of reading you the listing description.

Every area

All of Lane County, not just the easy parts.

From a starter home in Springfield to forty acres up the Mohawk Valley to a cabin on the McKenzie. 39 areas, each with its own page, because "Eugene-Springfield" is not a useful answer when you are trying to figure out where to live.

Wells, septic, zoning, first-time buyer programs, what an inspection really covers. Written out so you can read it at 11pm when you are actually thinking about it.
