My Road to Real Estate…..

In 1985 at the age of 18, my dad presented me with two options, go to college or get a job. I chose the latter. Little did I know accepting a position with Rainier Mortgage in downtown Seattle would pave the road to my love of the real estate world.

After 31 years of mortgage, I took my knowledge and experience and transitioned to real estate, assisting a local real estate broker. In the summer of 2018, I received a call from the top producing Broker in Edmonds asking if I would be interested in working with him. The next 4+ years I gained in-depth knowledge by observing and learning from the #1 Broker in my area. While managing all listings and purchases of his 350+ transactions from pre-list to after closing, I fell even more in love with real estate and being directly involved with each client. I obtained my real estate license to further my abilities and qualifications but mostly because I love turning your real estate dreams into reality. Wanting to stay within the Windermere organization, this year I joined the Alderwood office as a full-time broker. I am surrounded by a group of professionals that provide me with their extensive knowledge and exceptional support.

Our Road to Real Estate…..

Some of the takeaways from my experience assisting real estate agents are these.

• YOU want to be heard. I will listen to your wants, needs and desires. I will also be honest, even when it may sting a bit. Share your goals and priorities, we will lay out a plan and work together to successfully achieve your real estate goals.
• YOU want communication. Whether this is your first-time purchase or your tenth sale, I will keep you in the loop every step of the way. I will educate and inform from our first conversation through closing.
• YOU want to know your broker is working for you. I will supply you with key market information and my knowledge of Puget Sound real estate. I am committed to providing you with exceptional service and the best home buying or selling experience. As a buyer representative, I will not just send you to an open house and wait for your feedback, I will attend with you. This allows me to really get to know your wants, needs and must-haves, along with educating you along the way.

About Me

As an Edmonds native and raising my two kids here too, I have felt fortunate to call the stunning Pacific Northwest home. My son and daughter-in-law are both in the tech industry and my daughter is a 2^nd grade teacher. They all live in the area with their dogs. Blessed to have cultivated wonderful relationships through my years in mortgage and real estate with clients who have become friends and feel like family.  I'm an active member of the Elks and love being involved with their charitable organizations. I walk the waterfront and throughout town with my pup, Kai daily. If you happen to see me, stop and say hi.
