I offer a service oriented approach in real estate utilizing specific and goal driven methods to meet the individual needs of each client.  With real estate being the largest investment any one individual or company makes, I concentrate on the details of each transaction to insure the client's protection. Strong risk management, negotiations, follow through and attention to detail is the only way I conduct business.  Respectful of ideas and individuals, I view each transaction as a shared partnership providing excellent value and support to my clients.

My goal is to insure a knowledgeable, courteous, enjoyable and successful transaction for my clients.  The purchase of a home is one of the biggest investments most of us make in our lives, and I feel an investment in knowledge pays the biggest dividend.  For this reason, I spend considerable time educating myself in order to inform my clients as to what they can expect from me as their realtor and what they are likely to encounter in their transaction.  I have achieved success for my clients having learned how to listen carefully, ask questions and be prepared.

The green real estate market is gaining momentum, and every homeowner (or future homeowner) can take part. As a green Realtor, I believe in real estate's influence on sustainability and would love to help you discover your eco-options on the home front.  I'm on the board of the St. John's Neighborhood Association, and possess much neighborhood pride. Real estate isn't just a financial investment; it can be an investment in our future generations, a healthier lifestyle, a stake in the community…and a whole lot of yard work.

Patricia Macdonald, Principal Broker

patm@bridgetownrealty.com

My practice is based on personal service, attention to detail, and expert advice and follow through. The seeds of my 27+ year real estate career germinated when I was twenty and bought an 1890's stage coach stop on Bald Peak Mountain. Since then, I have developed bare land and  renovated homes on acreage, in the suburbs, and in urban NW Portland.  And I once spent a magical period living in an old mining camp in the middle of the National Forest.  What I have learned: REAL ESTATE IS PEOPLE AND THE PLACES THEY LOVE.

Modern Realtor seeks buyers and sellers for mutually satisfying relationship. Me: bright, energetic, straightforward, dependable, and user-friendly. You: prefer a non-traditional agent, one with a 'project management' versus 'sales' approach. Must desire someone who'll provide the knowledge and guidance you need to make informed real estate decisions.  E-savvy, open-minded, friendly clients a plus!

Middlebury College and University of Oregon graduate, I am a complete fan of Portland's urban life --- an interest honed by 10 years experience as a loan officer for the Department of Veteran Affairs and another 10 years with Neighborhood Preservation programs for the Portland Development Commission --- yet still thrilled with the "first-time homebuyer's" infectious enthusiasm!

I joined Bridgetown Realty after a long career in the communications industry. Having lived previously in Illinois, Florida and California, I was delighted to finally settle into one of Portland’s many unique older neighborhoods. Appreciating the architecture and design elements of period homes, I enjoy a good residential renovation project. My clients can always expect timely and accurate information, sound advice, skilled negotiations, and personal attention from me.

Moving to Portland in 1997 was the best move I ever made personally and professionally.   My previous career was technical in nature and required good listening and organizational skills and the ability to act quickly.  Those skills have served me well these past few years in real estate.  I'm detail oriented and have a good sense of humor.  Together, we will find the information you need to purchase or market a home to sell.  I love to share information about the resources we have in Portland regarding the character and diversity of its residential architecture.  I look forward to helping you!

Think of me as your "Tradesman Realtor." I worked in the building trades for many years sprucing up other peoples' homes, but it wasn't until I purchased my first home that I realized I wanted to help other people do the same. Whether you're looking to buy your first home or sell your third, I've got the tools to make sure your transaction is a great experience.
