A Life of Experience and Adventure

Born and raised in West Berlin, Germany, Dorothea developed a passion for new horizons at an early age. After moving to Hamburg to train horses and work in management training, the entrepreneurial journey continued with a relocation to the United States, first to Sedona, Arizona, and later to Los Angeles. It was in Los Angeles during the 1970s and 1980s that Dorothea first began investing in real estate, launching a career that would span decades.

In 1985, she moved to the Southern Oregon Coast, furthering her real estate development work while raising four children and obtaining an Oregon real estate license. The new millennium brought another chapter with a move to Flagstaff, Arizona, followed by Red Lodge, Montana, where she established an independent real estate company in 2003. Now based near the charming town of Rogue River, Oregon, Dorothea continues to serve clients with an active Montana license and a newly renewed Oregon license.

A Legacy in Real Estate

Real estate is more than just a profession for Dorothea­it is a family tradition dating back generations.
