Alexsandra (Alex) Stewart is a Portland, OR real estate broker and Residential Specialist focused on relationships with sellers and buyers who seek superior service and attention in the buying and selling process. I think of myself as an artist, traveler, dreamer, reader, and gardener in no priority order. I came back to Portland in 2004 after a career as a diversity and organizational-development consultant, helping international and domestic businesses and nonprofit organizations weather the process of change.

I love to travel, and have a huge need to be at the airport early! All because several years ago when my daughter was going to visit relatives, I thought we had plenty of tine to get there so we stopped to have pizza. Both really enjoyed the time together and had great fun, but when we got to the airport her plane had departed. She was crushed! I felt horrible. Of course she could get the same plane the next day -- definitely pre 9/11 - but her experience left such an imprint on me that I've been way early for flights ever since.

I think we all have a story, or several stories in our lives. I like working with people to find the places where their stories continue. I work hard to listen for the stories underneath what people say they want when they are ready to sell or buy. I want to know what each person believes, what is important to them and I find great joy in assisting them match their dreams with practical steps to acheive their best outcomes. Sometimes there is magic. That I love.
