As a lifelong Washington resident, I've had the privilege of living in Anacortes for the last 22 years. I fell in love with the beauty and culture of the city on my first visit, and still feel the same. In fact, one of my favorite things to do is give clients a tour of our beautiful corner of the world! In my free time, I enjoy crabbing and exploring the San Juan Islands with my husband on our boat.With over 30 years of experience as a REALTOR, I pride myself in finding my clients the home of their dreams or guiding them through the often overwhelming home selling process. When you choose me to list your home, I believe it to be an honor and work tirelessly to provide top-notch service. This includes staging your home and preparing it to look its best when it hits the market. I am proud to say that my past clients (now community members) and friends often refer my to their friends & family as a knowledgeable, diligent, and ethical real estate broker with local expertise. I look forward to working with you!Accreditations including ABR; Accredited Buyers Representative, GRI; Graduate of the Real Estate Institute, and ASP; Accredited Staging Professional.As a relocation specialist with Windermere Real Estate, I enjoy introducing new members to the community, whether it be Anacortes, Guemes Island, Oak Harbor, La Conner or the San Juan Islands.
