Rooted in Salem. Connected to Oregon.
We don't just sell homes here — we live here.
At Havenrose, community isn't a marketing word. It's the reason we do what we do. Katy has deep ties to Salem that go back generations, and Allie chose this place as her home after experiencing firsthand what it means to find your people somewhere new. Together, we're invested in the health, growth, and vibrancy of the communities where our clients put down roots.
The Mid-Willamette Valley is one of Oregon's most livable regions — and we think more people should know about it. Salem offers something rare: the amenities of a mid-size city with the feel of a community where neighbors still know each other's names. Whether you're drawn to the walkable streets of downtown Salem, the family-friendly neighborhoods of Keizer, the quiet beauty of Stayton and Sublimity, or the rural charm of Lyons and Mill City — there's a place here for you.
We're More Than Your Agents — We're Your Neighbors
When you work with Havenrose, you're working with people who are genuinely invested in this place. We refer local lenders, inspectors, contractors, and title companies we actually trust. We celebrate when our clients find the right home and check in long after the transaction closes. Real estate is one of the most significant financial decisions most people ever make — and we take that seriously, whether you're a first-time buyer nervously writing your first offer or a seasoned investor analyzing your next acquisition.
Allie and Katy are genuinely passionate about helping their clients find the right home. They took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and were always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and provide honest insights.

FAQs
How do I get started buying a home for the first time?
Start with a conversation. Call or email us and we'll set up a no-pressure consultation to talk through your budget, your timeline, and what you're looking for. We'll explain the entire home buying process step by step — from getting pre-approved for a mortgage to making an offer to what happens at closing — so you always know what's coming next.
What do I need to know about selling my home?
We start with a free home market analysis to determine what your property is worth in today's market. From there, we'll create a customized plan that covers pricing strategy, listing presentation, and marketing. We'll also walk you through a selling a home calculator estimate so you understand your projected net proceeds — including real estate commissions, potential repairs, and closing costs — before you commit to anything.
What about capital gains on selling a home — do I need to worry about that?
It depends on your situation. In many cases, the IRS allows homeowners to exclude a significant portion of profit from capital gains taxes when selling a primary residence — but there are rules around how long you've lived there and how much profit you've made. We're not tax advisors, but we'll make sure you know the right questions to ask your CPA before listing so there are no surprises at tax time.
Do you work with new construction and residential builders?
Yes. We represent buyers purchasing new construction homes and work alongside residential builders throughout the Salem area. Having an agent represent your interests during the builder process — especially contract review and upgrade negotiations — can save you significant money and stress.
