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!

A cheerful white pergola welcomes you onto the dock at Tenas Chuck Moorage — a neighborhood unlike any other. This sunny south-facing floating home was re-imagined in 2004, and rebuilt to embrace history while elevating modern dockside living. A sprung roof over cedar shake siding, a rooftop deck with cable railings, a chambered concrete float — from the dock, a timeless silhouette that belongs on the water. Inside a NanaWall accordion glass door opens the great room entirely to the waterside deck, dissolving interior and exterior lines. Two back-to-back fireplaces (gas or wood) serve both interior and deck. The outdoor masonry fireplace doubles as a grill, adding activity and joy to every season. The kitchen is built for cooking & entertaining: DCS range, Subzero refrigerator, Fisher & Paykel dish drawers. Anigre-paneled walls with custom art hangers, cove lighting, heated floors, and whole-house audio wiring give the interior a warm, modern, considered feel. Custom-tiled jetted tub and extensive built-in storage throughout. Includes small boat & paddleboard moorage on 3 sides. Eastlake's Tenas Chuck Moorage is a registered historic floating home community with nearby parking and EV charging available. Steps from Eastlake's Smallest Floating Home Museum, shops, groceries, and restaurants. And when the Fourth of July arrives, you already have the best seat in Seattle. Come join us on the lake!
