Prior to Real Estate, I worked for twenty years in the Luxury Cruise Industry (Sales, Marketing, and Customer Service).  Dealing with an upscale and often demanding clientele taught me to be flexible, patient, a good listener -  and most importantly - a GREAT negotiator!  In 2003, I returned to school to obtain my Real Estate License, and have been a full-time agent with Windermere ever since. The skills I gained in my former career make me a better agent: I work very hard to insure my clients get the most home for their money - or, the most money for their home. 

Your Needs:   

I take my role as an agent very seriously.  Your best interests are always first priority. My goal is to build relationships that last much longer than a single transaction. To accomplish this,  I listen, advise, and get the answers you need - keeping you informed every step of the way. 

Seattle Native:   

My Great-Grandparents first came to Seattle way back in 1909 - our family has been here ever since.  Being a Native gives me a unique perspective, and it's a real advantage to you:  I know Seattle and the Puget Sound Region intimately. I can help you choose the neighborhood that best fits your lifestyle and budget. 

First-Hand Knowledge:   

Having owned a Condo, a Rental Property, and the "Ultimate Fixer" (my current home) has taught me a lot about Real Estate. I can understand your concerns as both a buyer and seller, because I've been through the process myself. 

The Windermere Name:

Our company is the industry leader: year after year,  more transactions are handled by Windermere than any other company in the West.  As a seller, the quality reputation and market leadership of the Windermere brand is a great benefit when marketing your home.  As a buyer, being represented by a Windermere agent means you'll have one of the most educated, up-to-date, and  respected individuals working on your behalf.  

My Office:  

The Mount Baker office has been serving Southeast Seattle since 1979 (we're the second oldest partnership office in the entire company).    I work with about 50 other agents, plus an outstanding Broker and Assistant Manager.  Our corporate legal counsel is located just up the street, in case a legal question comes-up.  Access   to such  exceptional support and knowledge is a huge benefit - to both me and  my clients.
