I was born and raised in the Lynnwood/Edmonds area where I started my career in construction at an early age. I began working with my father's construction company and that is where my lifelong love affair began with: land, homes, construction, design and anything related.After attending school at Western Washington University, I quickly returned to Snohomish County to launch my own construction company. I worked in construction for over 20 years until I made the switch to real estate. I realized that my passion was in the connections made with other people. Now having worked in the real estate business for over 12 years, I have built my business on previous clients and referrals.More recently, I decided it was time to expand my team. I launched The Duitsman Group in 2017 and have since added key individuals to help every transaction run as seamlessly as possible. Our team is committed to guiding you through the home buying and selling process smoothly, efficiently and with an abundance of communication. Our goal is to provide you with the best service to exceed your expectations. How am I different from other real estate agents? I am certainly not the average real estate agent. My background is in construction. I see challenges before other agents do. I have a very aggressive technique for finding sellers for our buyers, buyers for our sellers and lead generating. With my team and I, you will receive business owner background with outside the box creativity.
