"Work hard and be nice to people” is Sam’s motto in life. She was raised on the Oregon Coast and attended undergrad and law school at Willamette University. After many years in the courtroom, Sam traded in her trial suits for another passion – Real Estate. 

Sam will be the first to say that Real Estate is not about the houses, but the complicated creatures who live in them, with all of their dreams, hopes, expectations, and fears. Stress and emotions come into play when buying or selling a home, yet Sam remains focused on the deal itself, in order to effectively negotiate the most beneficial terms for her clients. And thanks to her legal training and experience, she also has a sharp eye for detail, strong ethics, and unwavering tenacity. 

When she’s not working, Sam enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. They love golfing, skiing, and hiking the many beautiful trails of the Pacific Northwest. 

Sam is the owner of the NE Portland (w)here Real Estate Collaborative office: 2526 NE 15th Ave, #104 Portland, OR 97212
