I have a deep passion for real estate that began in 2004. Starting as an investor, I gained valuable experience in property acquisition and management, developing a sharp eye for market trends. In 2018, I became a licensed real estate broker, allowing me to guide clients through their buying, selling, and investing journeys with confidence.

In addition to brokering, I am a licensed mortgage broker specializing in both commercial and residential financing. Since 2020, I've been dedicated to helping clients secure the best financing options tailored to their needs. My knowledge of mortgage products and market conditions ensures clients receive comprehensive guidance throughout the process.

Real estate is about building lasting relationships, not just transactions. Clients appreciate my hands-on approach, attention to detail, and commitment to their success. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, a seasoned investor, or looking to finance a commercial property, I'm here to provide the support and expertise you need.

As a fluent Spanish speaker, I can effectively communicate with a diverse range of clients, breaking down language barriers and providing exceptional service to Spanish-speaking individuals, ensuring they feel comfortable and informed.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy playing tennis. The discipline and strategy required on the court translate seamlessly into my real estate work, where every decision counts.

Let’s connect and explore how I can assist you in your real estate journey. Together, we can turn your dreams into reality!

3 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ 2554608 MLS ⋅ Sundholm's Addition BLDG.
Cascades with your coffee. Rainier when the sun sets it on fire. This 1992 contemporary tri-level was refreshed top to bottom this summer: new kitchen with white shaker-style cabinetry, quartz counters, and stainless appliances; new carpet; new LVP flooring in entry, powder room, and kitchen; fresh paint. Every east-facing window frames territorial views with glimpses of the Cascades. The living room, primary bedroom, and mezzanine bedroom also face south — straight at Mount Rainier. The primary bedroom shares a dual-entry full bath with the second bedroom (vaulted ceiling, north-facing arched window: office, guest room, your call). Tucked between floors, the finished addition adds a large bedroom with vaulted ceiling and a south-facing arched picture window framing Mount Rainier directly, plus a loft sleeping/storage area, a fully appointed laundry area, and a 3/4 bath. The east side stacks three decks — top floor, main floor, and yard — connected by an outdoor stairway; the garage opens straight onto the yard deck too. Two-car garage: one bay has less clearance, verify for your needs. Fenced backyard, weathered pergola, moderate slope. Refreshed west side: new fence, gate, and gravel walkway. Main water line replaced 2023 — one less thing to budget for. Approx. 1,620 SqFt per 2002 appraisal; KCR: 1,170 SqFt. Fred Meyer one way, Uwajimaya the other, the farmers market on Tuesdays. 405 puts I-5, the Eastside, and SeaTac all within reach — pick your errand, pick your escape.

3 Beds ⋅ 5 Baths ⋅ 2552714 MLS
This classic 1922 Craftsman in upper Rainier Beach has plenty of space, great bones, and major upside for a buyer with some vision. The primary finished residence spans 2,830 square feet, centered around an open living, dining, and kitchen area detailed with original hardwoods. Branching off this central hub, one side of the home features a powder room and convenient bedroom with a full en-suite bath, while the opposite side hosts a bright, window-wrapped flex room. Upstairs, new laminate flooring flows through 2 additional oversized bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a connected sunroom. Some heavy lifting on the big systems is already done: solar panels in 2022, a new boiler in 2019, a new roof in 2017, plus updated copper plumbing and double-pane windows. What makes this property a unique opportunity is the sheer amount of extra space—bringing the total footprint under the roof to over 4,800 square feet. The basement features its own outside entrances, a full bath, and a 3/4 bath. It was previously configured into two separate living spaces, and remnants of old bedroom framing and two kitchenettes are still in place. It is a blank canvas with the plumbing and layout foundations already there to build out a home gym, workshop, or guest quarters. Above it all, a huge walk-up attic offers even more storage or room to expand. This is a premier opportunity to add custom updates to a historic home and build serious equity along the way. *some photos are virtually staged*
