You deserve clear answers and the information to make the right real estate decision for you at the right time. I help buyers, sellers, and investors understand their options and make choices that fit their goals.

Since 2015, I’ve served clients throughout Puget Sound, from Burlington to Eatonville and Port Angeles, and from Ocean Shores to Gold Bar and the communities in between. My experience includes first-time purchases, investment properties, rehabs, estates, and divorce-related transactions. Serving military members, educators, healthcare professionals, emergency responders, and first-time buyers is my jam.

I also teach homebuyer and down-payment assistance classes, along with continuing education for real estate professionals. My own homeownership journey includes buying my first home with a zero-down loan, purchasing with a rehab in mind, and assuming a home while an ADU was being built. Those experiences help me understand the decisions and questions that come up along the way.

Once in contract, about 95% of my mutual transactions reach closing; I bring experience and follow-through to each transaction. From the first conversation through closing, you work directly with me. You will not be handed off to an assistant or team member from first contact to keys. 

I’m a licensed Managing Broker and continuing education instructor, as well as a Military Certified Agent, Certified Negotiation Expert, and Certified Buyer Agent Expert.
