Real Estate Broker

I Grew Up On Fox Island, WA - Near Gig Harbor. I Come From A Long Line Of Home Builders, And Watched My Father Build Many Homes, Including The One I Grew Up In. Most People Who Know Me Know That I Have A Fascination With Home Design And A Major Curiosity With A Home’s History. I Particularly Love Old Homes; The Older, The Better. 

I Have Renovated Many Homes In The Last 20 Years, Which Has Allowed Me The Opportunity To Understand The Systems Of A Home, What To Look For When Buying & Selling A Home & The Knowledge To Strongly Lead My Clients In The Right Direction. 

My Intrigue With Design, The Real Estate Industry, & Working With People Has Created An Atmosphere For Me Expand Into A Career Of Being A Realtor.

When I Am Not Selling Homes Or In The Midst Of A Renovation, You Can Find Me Watching My Three Kids Play Sports, In The Kitchen Making Awesome Food, & Sneaking Away To Refresh My Battery. I Am A Lover Of Running, Listening To Good Music, & Spending Quality Time With My Family And Friends.

I Love To Learn New Things And Strive To Always Think Outside The Box. I Highly Dislike The Word “No”, As I Believe There Is Always A Way. I Am A Firm Believer That If You Try Hard Enough And Spend The Time, You Can Always Find A Way To Make Something Work.

Seattle Has Been My Home For Close To 20 Years And I Have Absorbed Myself In Its Amazing Community. I Have A Great Understanding About The Awesome Pockets Seattle Has To Offer. Seattle Is A Mover And A Shaker, With Not Much Sleep, Kind Of Like Myself. :-) It Is Expanding At An Exorbitant Rate And More People Are Spilling Into Our Area Than Most Have Ever Seen. This Is A Great Time For Sellers, But Not So Much Buyers, Which Has Helped In Creating This Crazy Market We Are In Now.

I Have A Creative And Active Mind That I Have A Hard Time Shutting Off. I Find Fulfillment In Taking Charge Of Whatever Is In Front Of Me, Which Has Been A Huge Benefit To My Clients Throughout Their Home Buying And Selling Process. Buying And/Or Selling A Home Can Be Very Exciting, But It Can Also Be One Of The Most Stressful Times In A Person's Life. It Can Be Emotionally Draining, Financially Weighing, And Filled With Many Questions. "Am I Making The Right Decision?" Or "Is This Location The Best Fit?" I Continue To Remember The Hesitation And Second Guessing I Had When Going Through All Of My Own Personal Buying And Selling Experiences. It Is My Goal To Make This Time As Stress Free And Positive As Possible. And I Will Remind You, As A Client, What An Exciting And Powerful Experience “Your” Process Is.

I Work With Passion And Will Be Your Biggest Advocate!
