My role is to help clients seize opportunities, identify and manage risks, and find creative solutions to complete transactions efficiently.
How I represent clients at Schwabe
I work closely with operators, managers, regional and national developers, and institutional investors to bring their commercial real estate projects to fruition. My focus is on the acquisition, entitlement, development, leasing, financing, and disposition of retail, office, mixed-use, industrial, manufactured housing community, and senior living properties.
I have many years of experience as a skilled negotiator and practical dealmaker navigating Oregon’s ever-changing real estate landscape, which allows me to serve as a wealth of knowledge to my clients.
