My passion is helping people.Whether you are a first time home buyer, or you've purchased and sold numerous times, my goal is to give you the most current information you will need to make informed decisions about your real estate transactions. My clients appreciate my ability to listen to their goals, articulate the real estate process, set the proper expectations of their real estate adventure and also my frequent communication of the status of their transaction along the way from beginning to end. As a Certified Negotiation Expert, an accreditation less than 5% of brokers have earned, I am extremely comfortable working in all types of scenarios to get my clients the best deal possible, whether they are buying or selling. My drive for getting my clients what they want within their real estate goals has earned me John L Scott awards year after year. As a Northwest native, and a Relocation Specialist, I am familiar with all the wonderful attributes this area has to offer. Ikeep current on the local economic trends and upcoming housing changes that will assist you whether you're leaving the Greater Seattle and Eastside area, or moving in. Before starting my full time Realtor career, I worked for WRQ, Inc., one of the world's largest privately held software companies. I was the Director over departments that spanned world-wide mastering in process and negotiations. Definitely a path that has made me at ease and excited to work with all walks of life and cultures. Outside of real estate, I am an active supporter of the Ronald McDonald House Charities whose mission is "Helping Families Stay Close To Their Child" in need of long term medical care, and Old Dog Haven; helping to find loving homes for senior dogs to spend their golden years.
