Portland, Oregon, is a fantastic place to live and work, which is why Shalei chose to call it home. With roots in Honolulu, HI, Shalei came to Portland in 2011. With an extensive customer service background and a 12-year career as a flight attendant here in Portland, she remains grateful for her time in the skies that gave her the chance to see homes across the globe, but she was ready for a change. As an avid architecture and interior design lover, it was a perfect match to begin a career in real estate. Shalei has hung up her wings to remain grounded in her real estate career.

Whether buying a home or selling, Shalei is here to help you with each step. It's easy to see why several people have called Shalei for help buying or selling. She will guide you through the homeownership journey with ease, honesty, and transparency. Creating an environment from her experiences and incorporating her love for home design, history, and sustainability is also an integral part of Shalei's real estate process. Shalei is happy to be part of the Portland Works Real Estate family and shares their same core values and beliefs of actively giving back to the community they serve. When she isn't in the office or assisting her clients, you'll find her studying for a degree in Interior Design at Portland Community College so she can assist you in closing a deal and customizing your new home to make it entirely your own. For fun, Shalei is a curator of unique vintage home furniture, art, books, and decor. She runs a small online vintage/ decor shop called Miscellanea Studio. You can also find her other passion in her shop, travel photography, printed locally in Portland, OR.
