Janikka grew up in the Pacific Northwest and enjoys living in Portland: such a beautiful and unique city! She’s returned from an extended stay in India to rediscover her roots in Oregon.
She brings an honest, no-nonsense approach to the home buying and selling process, using her Business Bachelor’s Degree from PSU to its fullest potential. It gives her the opportunity to provide guidance and to help people at a very special time in their lives, especially those new to this process.
Janikka began her career in real estate in 2004. Not surprisingly, she loves it! Her belief is that buying or selling your home should be fun and educational. Janikka cares deeply for each and every client. She enjoys giving her undivided attention and service to them. She has formed some very close friendships with her clients and has attended clients’ weddings, birthday parties and baby-naming ceremonies.
When not working, Janikka enjoys live music, travel, running, quilt-making, reading, and spending time with friends and family.
Words From Janikka’s Clients:
Thank you for always making sure we know what’s going on right away, Janikka. I LOVE our new home and new neighborhood.
Your ability to be compassionate but very straight-forward is really what made the difference. I am impressed that you were willing to go over the reality of the current market with us so, so many times without sounding annoyed. :)
After working with you twice as buyers and now as sellers, we are very appreciative that you take as much time as needed to thoroughly explain a complicated process, that you care that we stay within our means, that you offer a lot of encouragement to an emotional process, and most of all, that you are always yourself—easy for us to relate to, honest, and free of pretension or smooth-talk. Thank you for leading us through this momentous time in our lives.
Warmly, Kristy
I contacted Portland’s Alternative Realtors when my husband and I decided it was time to relocate to Portland. I had found their website a few years prior to this and told myself that when it was time for us to move, this is who would help us. We were blessed to be paired with Janikka. She assisted us from start to finish and we could not have been more pleased. Janikka speaks the same language as we do, and she understood exactly what we wanted and needed. She works based on the perfect combination of integrity and creativity and she knows her market, inside and out. She is professional and she will work tirelessly to ensure that her client’s deals are the best that they can be. We would refer anyone who is looking to buy or sell a house to Janikka. She definitely restored our faith in realtors!

Most importantly, the trait that separated Janikka from other real estate agents was her honesty. We knew right away that this was a welcomed approach and much different from other agencies. She gave us straight-forward answers to our questions and was candid with us in her opinions. Because of this, we were able to put all of our trust in Janikka. Janikka is the reason we have found our first home!
