Meet Oak & Stone Realty Group

---

Candace was born and raised in Grays Harbor where she is now raising a family of her own. They truly enjoy the small-town community atmosphere in Montesano. (Go Bulldogs!)

She has been selling real estate since 2005 and can truly say she LOVES her career. Helping someone with the biggest investment of their life has always been and continues to be challenging and exciting. She has made many friends and connections along the way. Candace is an excellent negotiator and has years of experience working with a range of clients from first-time homebuyers to property investors.

Opening Oak & Stone Realty Group has been a dream of Candace’s for a long time. She believes her sphere of influence with both buyers and sellers, plus her knowledge of the area adds to what she can offer with your real estate needs.

If you have any real estate related questions, are curious about your property/home value, or need help getting started in the home buying/selling process, she would love to work together!

Once upon a few years ago, Chelsea was running multiple businesses and storefronts...that she opened up only a handful of months before Covid hit the US. This stretch of time for her involved constant challenges, surprises, and a strong demand for creative solutions. As covid restrictions were lifted, she decided her time as a business owner was done and she sold and/or closed her storefronts. 

As Chelsea thought about where to start in a fresh career, real estate felt like the most obvious and natural fit for her and it has been! From the minute she passed my exam, Chelsea has loved the work, the people, the creativity, and the drive needed to succeed in this field. Advocating for her clients is always at the top of her mind as she believes that their stories are worthy of honor and respect. Chelsea seeks to be a safe and empathetic space for all, building peoples' confidence and trust so that they can count on her to get the job done. She prides herself on being solution focused - seeking out advice and support when she needs to brainstorm how best to serve her clients in a competitive market. 

She loves what she does and the life that she lives. When not working, Chelsea spends much of her time at home with her family and dogs, exploring WA State, painting and crafting, & finding new ways to enjoy every day.

As a local to Grays Harbor, Kayla has an extensive community that she has grown up with and watched evolve. Knowing the people in this area so intimately, building trust with her clients is of paramount importance to her. As she would with any family member or friend, Kayla always strives to surpass her client's expectations. With a decade of customer service experience, Kayla fully recognizes and embraces the importance of cultivating strong relationships. 

Kayla loves to walk her clients through the buying and selling process step by step so that they understand the entire journey before making such an important decision. By ensuring that her clients comprehend the process, she guarantees they are satisfied with their real estate investments. She takes pride in her work and in the many wonderful relationships she has built through it!

When she is not helping clients, Kayla enjoys spending quality time with her 2 children, her cat and German Shepherd, as well as engaging with the community and local sports. She is eager to help you achieve your real estate needs and dreams!

You might say Zina's passion for Real Estate naturally stems from her desire for challenges, adventure, and novelty. She moved to Oregon from Brazil in the 90's where she fell in love with the Pacific Northwest. Her now fiancé convinced her to move to Elma in 2017 where they have been building their life on the Harbor ever since! 

Zina is always learning - whether that's a new language (she speaks fluent Russian, conversational Spanish, as well as English) or figuring out how to run a new business. She is a serial entrepreneur, and as with real estate, the challenges keep her engaged and motivated as she comes up with new ways to get through tough situations. Her clients tend to stick with her for this very reason - there's no challenge in her mind that can't be overcome! She has been in real estate since 2020 and is licensed in both Washington and Oregon. 

When not working, Zina loves walking her dogs around her property, gardening, or riding her bike. She also loves to travel with her fiance especially for experiencing & trying a wide variety of new foods! Every new experience helps her relate to people along her journey, particularly in real estate!

Amy Carlson is a transplant from Arizona and our Operations Manager! Her love of interior design, attention to detail, and affinity for marketing and graphic design have made her an essential person at Oak & Stone. Amy unapologetically builds the life she wants while tending to those around her with honesty and kindness. Her desire for flexibility, to advocate for clients, and pursuing a sense of purpose in her career are all reasons Amy decided to help Candace build Oak & Stone from the ground up. 

When not working in the office, she is busy running her own business {Sand & Pine Creative}, spending time with her family, and adventuring in the forests and coastland she loves to now call home.
