About Justine

A true Pacific Northwest native, Justine was born in Salem, Oregon and raised in Washington County just west of Portland. After spending several years living in Michigan and Tennessee, she returned home to the Pacific Northwest, where she settled with her family and began her real estate career.

Justine lives in Ridgefield, Washington with her husband, Bill. She is the proud mother of five adult children—two biological and three adopted—and understands firsthand the complexities that often accompany life transitions, growth, and change.

Professional Philosophy

Real estate is personal. Buying or selling a home often coincides with major life changes—a new job, a long-distance move, empty nesting, a growing or multigenerational household, or a family estate transition. These moments can feel overwhelming.

Justine’s role is to carry the details and the stress, so her clients don’t have to. Known for her attentive nature and exceptional attention to detail, Justine is thorough, diligent, and deeply committed to being the strongest possible advocate for her clients. Her goal is not simply to close a transaction, but to guide her clients through the process with clarity, honesty, and confidence.

At Summa, every client receives a highly personalized experience, tailored to their goals, timelines, and circumstances.

What Sets Justine Apart

She Listens

Justine genuinely cares about people and their needs. Her process begins by listening carefully during the initial consultation—and continues throughout the entire real estate journey. Her clients know they’ve been truly heard.

She Communicates Clearly and Honestly

Communication is foundational to Justine’s approach. She provides clear, data-driven information so clients can make informed decisions for themselves and their families. She is known for her candor and integrity—she will never “buy a listing” by suggesting an unrealistic price just to win business. Clients can expect honest feedback, realistic expectations, and straightforward guidance at every step.

She’s All In

Justine is a full-time real estate broker. She does not juggle multiple careers or commitments—real estate is her sole professional focus. This dedication allows her to stay nimble, responsive, and fully engaged, regardless of market conditions.

She Studies the Market Relentlessly

To serve her clients at the highest level, Justine stays on top of current market trends, shifts, and data. She continually invests in advanced real estate education, certifications, and designations to sharpen her expertise and negotiation skills.

She Works to Earn Referrals

The greatest compliment Justine can receive is a referral from a past client. She works diligently to ensure every client experience is referral-worthy, and she is honored that the majority of her business comes from repeat clients and referrals from friends and family.

She Carries the Stress So You Don’t Have To

Whether navigating a first purchase, a complex sale, or an emotionally charged transition, Justine’s clients know they are not alone. She takes on the burden of details, deadlines, and negotiations—so the process feels as smooth and “underwhelming” as possible.

Education & Business Background

Justine earned her Bachelor of Arts in Child and Family Studies, with a minor in Business, from Portland State University. She homeschooled all five of her children and later authored and published homeschool curriculum.

Following her university education, Justine spent several years working in internet sales and marketing. This experience laid the foundation for her entrepreneurial success, including co-founding two multi million-dollar internet businesses with her husband. Their most recent venture, www.wiperbladesusa.com, continues to grow and thrive today.

Justine became a licensed real estate broker in Oregon when her youngest children were nearing graduation. In 2022, she expanded her business by obtaining her Washington State real estate license, allowing her to serve clients on both sides of the Columbia River.

Professional Recognition & Leadership

Justine has been either the #1 or #2 top-producing agent in her office every year since 2019. She has consistently ranked among the Portland Metro Top 300 Producers since 2021—placing her in the top 2% of agents out of approximately 10,500–11,200 licensed agents across the Portland Metro region.
