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!

Some houses come finished, others are waiting for someone to see what they could become. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street just off Beach Drive, this 1910 home offers a combination of historic character, generous proportions and a private setting. At just over 15,000 square feet, the property feels more like a hidden retreat than a typical city lot, with mature trees and an urban-forest backdrop creating remarkable privacy. The house itself is ready for a new chapter. A version of the classic Four Square-style home, it retains the gracious scale and craftsmanship of its era: Parquet flooring, high ceilings, large rooms, original woodwork, box-beam ceilings, formal dining rm, Arts & Crafts tile (gas) fireplace and a big kitchen w/a wall of windows bringing the outdoors into the heart of the home. A wood stove adds to its warm, old-house character. The home was moved onto a substantial new foundation in 1998, and plans are available, providing an excellent starting point for someone ready to thoughtfully restore and reimagine the property. The lot offers room to dream, garden, create outdoor living spaces and explore. The mature landscape and existing site configuration make this a property where privacy and setting are the draw. Bring your architect, contractor and imagination. For the right buyer, this could be the chance to bring a remarkable old home back to life while creating a private retreat in one of West Seattle's most sought-after settings. As-Is!
