Since 2006, I’ve specialized in selling condominiums and single-family homes, including new construction and resale. I’ve worked with some of the top developers and builders in the greater King County area. I also had the pleasure of working one-on-one with individual home buyers and sellers. For all clients, my goal is to exceed expectations. I work hard from start to finish and beyond to make the transaction as smooth as possible.
Prior to real estate I had a long and rewarding career with Nordstrom in numerous roles. There, I learned the value of always putting the customer first.
As a lifelong resident of the Seattle area, I have great insight to this always changing city. I find this helps my buyers, sellers and developers achieve the results they are looking for.
In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors, spending time with friends and family, and exploring this incredible country.
