About Lynda
About Lynda
Being a Lake Oswego resident for coming up on 38 years I’m extremely passionate about our community. With my three girls having now flown the nest, I’m privileged to serve on several local committees, and have met wonderful people and learned a lot along the way. It brings me great joy to share all the wonderful things this region offers, and that’s in large part what drove my decision to move into real estate.
As a John L. Scott broker for Exceptional Homes Lake Oswego office, my aim is to partner with my clients to make the process of buying or selling a home as enjoyable as possible. Aside from my local knowledge, personal network, and almost 16 years of real estate experience, I believe it’s my work ethic that sets me apart. I go above and beyond to secure the best possible outcome for my clients. I understand that buying or selling that perfect home doesn’t happen by chance, rather it requires a dogged, relentless and stubborn resolve. What’s more, I appreciate the importance of open communication, responsiveness and follow-through.
If this approach resonates with you then please reach out, I’d love to understand your goals and see if we can work together.
Experience
My real estate business specializes in the geographic areas of Lake Oswego and the Portland Metro Area. Having been an investor in the real estate market since 1982, I have an expansive portfolio in both commercial buildings and residential homes. My interests have always been in the direction of design and environments, which inspired me to attend Michigan State University to pursue a BA degree in Interior Design and Business, accompanied by an MBA. Today, I continue my education with real estate-related classes year-round to stay current in the market trends and programs that enable me to provide up-to-date information and service to my clients. Throughout my real estate career, I have become credentialed among the ranks with, CRS, ALHS, SFR, and NCIDQ. Within the ranks of my company, John L. Scott Real Estate, I have been the recipient of the Presidents and Emerald award through 2010-2021. I am currently a Diamond PMAR Club Member and am a member of several other Real Estate organizations.
Having spent 18 years in the International Business markets in the field of Commercial Furniture, I have gained extensive knowledge in the management of global teams. I have been involved in Washington DC with the Department of Commerce where I was appointed to the International Trade Affairs Committee for consumer goods. The wealth of knowledge that I have accumulated during my time in international business has not only strengthened my real estate business, it has subsequently allowed me to develop a strong sphere of contacts that I am able to use to connect my clients with.
Community Involvement
Being active in the local community is important to me. Since living in Lake Oswego I have served on the Chamber of Commerce, the Lake Oswego Historic Board, the Karen Gaffney Foundation, the National Charity League, and numerous school committees. What’s more, I am currently a member of The Friends of Timberline and the Lake Oswego Arts Council.
When not fulfilling my board commitments, I enjoy volunteering at Doernbecher Children's Hospital, working with the Down Syndrome Network of Portland, and the Mount Hood Meadows Children's Ski Program.
Transactional Excellence
It’s my job to ensure every real estate transaction goes as smoothly as possible for all parties involved. I oversee every detail of the sale including inspections, appraisals, title, escrow and loan processes. Buying or selling a home can be an amazing experience if you have the proper support. I’m here to walk you through the process, protect and encourage you, and see you across the finish line of the right house, not simply any house. My goal is to assist you however I can and to have you remain a client of mine for life.
