LAURIE BORNSTEIN
Real Estate for Real Life Transitions
My journey into real estate has been shaped by a synergistic blend of highlevel sales, strategic negotiations, and refined marketing, anchored by an enduring passion for 'home.' With over two decades as the owner of an interior design company and as former CEO of the International Feng Shui Guild, I bring a unique skill set to every client relationship—uniting corporate leadership with creative entrepreneurship. This diverse background enables me to deliver a seamless, professional experience paired with personalized service that truly honors each client’s vision and goals.
I’ve long believed that the spaces we inhabit directly influence the quality of our lives. That understanding shapes the way I serve my clients today— approaching each move with care, intention, and a deep respect for how a home supports who they are and how they want to live.
I place the highest value on relationships, and always focus on helping you achieve your goals. I'm here to help throughout the process, from the beginning to the end and beyond! The greatest compliment I can receive is when my past clients become friends.
CLIENT EXPERIENCE
Every move carries a story, and my role is to guide yours with clarity, care, and confidence. From our first conversation to the moment we celebrate your closing (and well after) you can expect consistent communication, thoughtful guidance, and a steady partner who listens deeply and advocates for you at every turn.
Clients often share that what they appreciated most was feeling informed, supported, and at ease throughout a process that can otherwise feel overwhelming. Whether you’re stepping into your first home, transitioning into a new lifestyle, or simplifying how and where you live, my goal is that you feel seen, prepared, and genuinely cared for every step of the way.
LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE
My husband and I began our lives together, living in Lake Oswego and working in Portland. Over 30 years later, we chose to return and make the Lake Oswego/West Linn/Portland area our home, and we've never regretted a single moment.
I love everything about this area. When I'm not busy working with my sellers or buyers, you can find me enjoying one of our fabulous local eateries or wineries, taking our dog for a walk at one of our many local trails, parks, or soaking up the sun at the river. The Pacfic Northwest lifestyle truly has something for everyone.
Laurie is an incredible realtor and wonderful person. Every interaction I’ve had with her is a delight and she found and negotiated me into my dream home. She is driven, honest, and genuine with an impressive knowledge of the business. I feel privileged to have worked with her and would recommend her to any and everyone who may be interested.

SELL WITH CONFIDENCE
When you make the decision to sell your home, the goal is to get the best price and the most favorable terms in a timeframe that meets your needs. That's why many sellers choose to work with a full-service, licensed real estate professional, like myself. From effective pricing and marketing to making sure the closing process runs smoothly, I will provide expert representation and support every step of the way. My goals when representing the sale of your home are to:
Provide information about the current market and work with you to set a price accordingly
Provide exposure to more buyers and agents through extensive marketing outreach
Communicate clearly and consistently so you can make informed decisions throughout the entire sales process
Help you understand all the terms, processes, and paperwork involved
Serve as your advocate and negotiate the most favorable terms from pricing to closing
Provide you with a peace-of-mind that all details are being handled in a professional and efficient manner
I personally provide a complimentary staging and home preparation consultation. I’ll advise on needed repairs, ways to make your home more saleable and how to create a warm welcome for potential buyers.
You need a partner who knows the selling process, marketing, and negotiations. But more importantly, you need a trusted advisor who understands what's important to you and how to get you there. This is about you and having your best interests in mind and the expertise to accomplish your goals.
Laurie is the very best realtor we have ever worked with. She helped us define what we were looking for price-wise and what neighborhood would be the best fit for us. Then, she worked relentlessly to get us what we wanted in a very tight market. She was on top of every detail from our financing, the offer process, our inspections, and closing.
In a process that is often fraught with emotions, Laurie was reassuring and optimistic, organized and thorough, kind and, when needed, humorous. I’ve already recommended her to all my friends. If you want to succeed in buying the house of your dreams, then choose Laurie—she will get you there; you will be happy.

BUY WITH CONFIDENCE
The prospect of buying a home can be both exhilarating and scary at the same time. It’s likely the largest purchase you’ve made in your lifetime –and also one of the best long-term investments. But buying a home is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Finding the right place, in the perfect neighborhood and at a cost that’s within your budget, is no small task. That’s where I come in. My job is to help you navigate the twists and turns of the buying process, so that you end up with a house you’re proud to call home. My goals when representing your home purchase are to:
Communicate clearly and consistently so you can make informed decisions throughout the entire buying process
Help you find the home that best meets your criteria in the most efficient timeframe
Provide current market data to assist you in making informed decisionst
Help you understand all the terms, processes, and documents involved in a real estate transaction
Represent your needs through skilled negotiations and effective communication
Provide you with a peace-of-mind that all details are being handled in a professional and efficient manner
You need a partner who knows the neighborhoods, the market and the process. But more importantly, you need an advocate who will get to know you, your needs and desires. This isn't about a house, it's about your future home. You don't want to live with it. You want to love it.
Whether you’re a first-time home buyer, upsizing, downsizing or considering a relocation, I'll guide you through every step of your real estate journey with professionalism, creativity, a sense of humor and a genuine desire to help you achieve your goals.
On a Personal Note...
As a real estate broker serving Lake Oswego, West Linn, and Portland, what I love most is helping people move toward what matters to them. Whether someone is stepping into a first home, navigating change, or preparing for their next chapter, my work is grounded in service and connection so clients feel supported, understood, and confident through every life transition. That same spirit lives in Spotlight Salon, a communitycentered series I created to bring people together for thoughtful conversations, trusted resources, and meaningful dialogue around home, lifestyle, and the transitions that shape our lives.
Outside of real estate, I’m happiest enjoying time with friends and family and sharing my love of food—baking in particular. I love gathering people around the table, entertaining, and creating spaces where connection feels easy and joyful. You’ll also find me spending time with our dogs, tending the garden, and exploring the beauty that surrounds us from neighborhood trails and rivers to downtown streets, local shops, favorite eateries, cozy coffee spots, bakeries, and the occasional great libation.
A fun fact about me: while I’m originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, I’ve lived in many places throughout the United States. After all those adventures, I found my way back to the Portland area and it’s always been my favorite. It’s where community, creativity, and quality of life come together, and where I truly feel at home.
