Information About Me   I love Portland and I love the real estate business--helping people with their most important investment is truly rewarding.  But without my education  (U of Oregon B.A. and J.D.) and my experience in business and law,   my passion for Portland wouldn't mean much to my clients.  When my love  of Portland is combined with my broad experience, however,  I can offer my clients truly first class service with attention to every detail, informed by my in-depth knowledge of Portland's communities.    After raising two children in the Portland area, being involved in nonprofits and the arts, and enjoying the recreational opportunities of the Northwest, I am prepared to share my knowledge and love of our community with all my clients.    As real estate investment becomes more complex with federal and state requirements for both sellers and buyers, and as the mortgage industry offers even more diverse options for financing,  I can offer my clients a unique background  as they sell or buy their most important investment.    How can I help you?  I'm happy to answer the most simple question, or put you in touch with my team of experts for in-depth assistance regarding financing and related issues.  My primary website, www.MyPortlandOregonHome.com has a variety of articles for both buyers and sellers.   Thanks for visiting my site--I look forward to hearing from you soon!   Sincerely, Sharon Francis, Broker 503-516-8066
