Fiona Parsons moved to Seal Rock, Oregon in 2013 as the coast is her happy place. She spent most of her adult life in northwest Portland since she moved from Brighton, England, as a young child. A few years after graduating from high school, she and her then boyfriend built their first house with their own four hands. In order to protect her investment in the project, she married that boyfriend, and they went on to have four children. She was fortunate enough to be able to stay home and achieve her number one goal: to raise her children to be happy, healthy adults who give to society rather than take from it.

While her firstborn was still an infant, she started a business from home, Deni Jaise Fitness Wear. She designed, manufactured, and marketed her products which were sold at Nordstrom, Body Gear, as well as other outlets. Fiona's career in real estate started with RE/MAX Equity Group in Beaverton, Oregon. She ranked within the top 10% of her office in her first year and was awarded membership in the 100% Club, a select group of high-producing Sales Associates. Inclusion is based on commission earned in a single year and is a rare achievement for an Associate in her first year of sales.

She went on to earn additional awards including Keller Williams Realty, Northwest Region, Gold Medal (2006) Keller Williams Realty, Member of Associates Leadership Council (2006) Award of Excellence for the Pacific Northwest Region ranking #5 in individual sales out of 5,000 RE/MAX Sales Associates for February, 2003. Fiona loves the woods, the beach, photography, cooking, camping and spending time with her family.
