Roberta's Background

Roberta grew up on the East Coast- but has lived in the West for over forty years. She has been happy to call Portland home for nearly 17 years.  Roberta holds two Master's degrees- one in Clinical Nutrition and the second in Health Care Administration. She's also completed professional chef training and owned an artisan bakery. Roberta's success in real estate is, in part, a result of her diverse experiences: health care practitioner, administrator, consultant and small business owner. In her free time, she enjoys hiking and walks with her Rhodesian Ridgeback, Kobe, traveling, cooking, wine-tasting and keeping up with Portland's nationally-acclaimed culinary scene.

Business Philosophy

A big believer in education, Roberta ensures she is continually on top of the ever-changing real estate industry and market conditions, so that she can provide the right information to her clients so they can make informed decisions. Roberta has sold cottages to luxury homes, investment properties and condominiums and has helped seasoned home buyers and sellers as well as first-timers. She is honored to have assisted many of her past clients with repeat sales and referral business.
