Get to Know Cricket Forsey

 I choose the title “Real Estate Consultant” purposely.  I consider myself more than just a Realtor® who shows properties and writes contracts.  I work full time in this ever changing and often fast paced marketplace, keeping my ear to the ground and nose to the grindstone so that I can stay on top of market trends, pricing and financing strategies.  I consider it my responsibility  to inform, guide and be a resource for my clients as they go through the home buying and selling process.

My professional life started in Boston in the athletic footwear industry.  My first position after of college was with Hyde Athletic Industries where I was the Assistant Import/Export Manager. I then moved on to Converse Inc. where I held the position of International Operations Administrator.  In both these positions I coordinated the order placement and production of international distributor purchases between the parent company and factories.  It was a continual juggling act as the international markets are always on a different timeline and style cycle than the United States domestic market.  Everything, yes everything, was different from order sizing, colors, fabrics, payment terms and shipping times and I was the sprocket that kept the wheel turning.  While the parent company used entire departments – purchasing, receiving, customer service, and accounting for the domestice market; the international distributors used ME!  I embraced the many challenges and the variety of people and places I dealt with every day.

I use those same skills of juggling timelines, personalities, varying projects and objectives today in my real estate business.

After a move to Portland in 1995 and a few years of life as full-time mom to two great kids, suddenly it was 2002. Itching to start working again, I joined a small West Linn company where I obtained my Real Estate AND Mortgage Licenses.  "Small company" means a short supply of support staff, so I learned (by doing) every aspect of the real estate and mortgage business.  No job was too small.

In September of 2007, I joined Keller Williams Realty®.  The company’s continuing education programs, national exposure and culture of brokers supporting fellow brokers fit perfectly with my desire to learn, build my business and work with clients and fellow realtors in an ethical manner.  I recently made the decision to concentrate solely on my Real Estate Clients, however, my lending experience has been and will continue to be a valuable asset to real estate clients, as I can be a resource in understanding that often complicated side of home buying.  

I look forward to a future full of opening new doors with you all over Portland! 

Certifications

I make it a priority to be constantly learning and furthering my real estate education.  There are several areas I focus on:

1. Fox Hill Park Community- I love this area so much I call it my home.  

2. Luxury Homes- I understand what it takes to sell a luxury home quickly for the greatest possible profit.  Conversely, I can help buyers purchase a luxury home with the goal of getting the best possible deal for your money.

3. Certified Distressed Property Expert- My buyers want deals, and often these deals lie within distressed properties.  To better serve my clients, I made it a priority to go through the necessary training to be certified as a Distressed Property Expert.

4. Relocation Clients- Throughout my career I have worked with a large number of relocation buyers.  What I have learned from working with them is the importance of helping clients understand the character and areas of Portland's many neighborhoods.  http://www.portlandneighborhoodmatch.com is designed as a cheat sheet to understanding Portland to help relocation buyers gain confidence about the area.  Then it's time to explore! 

I look forward to a future full of opening new doors with you all over Portland!
