about me

After purchasing my first home, I decided to leave my lengthly career in the costume department of the film industry to pursue the field of real estate. I experienced first hand the impact a move has on ones life, and that has made me determined to make the whole real estate experience a successful one for every person I help.

Working in film helped perfect my star treatment skills. I aim to give my clients the means to achieve their goals by providing knowledge, experience, creative marketing, and one of a kind service in all areas of real estate. I take pride in selling real estate and, therefore, am dedicated to my work and my clients. I am hard working and trustworthy, often going above and beyond the call of duty and always giving 110%. I continually strive for excellence through ongoing education and upgrading of my skills.

I specialize in building relationships and providing effective results. Working with you every step of the way during the transaction, only a phone call away for any questions or concerns you have today, tomorrow and the years to follow.

I look forward to working with you,

        Portia

happy clients...proven results

My goal is to make the process of buying, selling, or owning a home efficient, enjoyable and rewarding for you. See what some of my clients have said about my real estate services...

• -- "Portia I just wanted to say what a pleasure it was working with you and for finding me a home a big KUDOS. Your help was greatly appreciated in finding me a wonderful home.Thanks again"   David V.

• -- "I  wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for all the thought and effort you have put in to make this happen. Most Realtors I know just care about making a deal, but you really go the extra mile to make your clients happy. Thank you for your outstanding service"       Julie L.

• --"Portia made buying our first home a truly wonderful experience. From start to finish she made herself available to us for our million and one questions! We couldn't of asked for a more reliable and honest Realtor. I would (and do!) recommend her to anyone even considering the idea of purchasing a new home. Thanks for everything Portia!"   Ronelle E.
• -- "Buying your first house can be a daunting task because you want it to satisfy every criterion in that mental list you assemble over the years. It is not until you begin looking at houses that reality sets in. To be honest, I never pictured shag carpet in my dream home, or wood paneling, or rosette printed wallpaper for that matter. In fact, that initial dose of reality can be discouraging and not something you want to tackle on your own. Thankfully, I didn’t have to.
  
  What was so unique and refreshing about Portia Richards was in her candor and
  ability to honestly see my vision and truly strive to achieve it. Every house I saw was important for a reason, it reflected what I was looking for and opened my eyes to the possibility that pieces of my ideal house were everywhere, I just had see them, and eventually we would realize my dream in its entirety.
  
  Portia’s demeanor was always stellar and encouraging. She gave more of herself than I had ever expected a realtor to give. And at every point along the way my ideas, and me, were always important. I could never have spent more time with a nicer, harder working and reliable agent.
  
  I will always be grateful for her help in making my dreams come true and will look no further when it comes to a realtor and friend in my future endeavors.
  
  Portia, Thank you for your time, integrity and patience it has been a wonderful experience I won’t soon forget. "      Sincerely, Alanna
