Find Your New Home

My Road to Real Estate…..

I remember as a young child, my parents putting me in the car and off we would go in search of open houses. They were never going to move from their home, they just enjoyed looking at different homes, styles and trends. Every year we would attend the Street of Dreams event, my mom and I oohing and aahing over kitchen bathroom designs, and my dad admiring the cool amenities and landscapes. I guess my love of real estate developed at a young age, thanks to my parents. 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 my road 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 buyer 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 listen to your wants, needs and desires. I provide my honest opinion, even when it may sting a bit. Share with me your goals and priorities, we will lay out a plan and work together successfully to achieve your real estate milestones.
• YOU want communication. Whether this is your first-time purchase or your tenth sale, I keep you in the loop every step of the way. I educate and inform from our first conversation through closing.
• YOU want to know your broker is working for you. I supply you with key market information and 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 absorb your wants, needs and must-haves, along with educating you with the process 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 and son-in-law own their own cleaning business. They all live in the area with their dogs and we gather often for family time. 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.
