thomas

After a distinguished 20+ year career as a U.S. Army Ranger, Neal transitioned into real estate in 2006 as a broker, with Angela joining him in 2010. Since then, they have successfully assisted hundreds of homeowners in buying and selling real estate across eight counties in Washington, including King, Kitsap, Pierce, Thurston, and others.

Neal and Angela's clients range from first-time homebuyers to seasoned investors, covering all market segments from entry-level to luxury homes. They have extensive experience in various types of residential real estate, including new construction, existing homes, VA-owned properties, rehab projects, and bank-owned (REO) properties.

They are well-versed in working with a diverse range of buyers, including veterans using VA benefits, first-time buyers, and those relocating to Washington. Over the years, Neal and Angela have closed more than 98% of all transactions they opened, including VA, short sales, USDA, FHA rehab loans (203K), and conventional home sales.

In 2014, they joined Best Choice Realty, building their business around the mission of helping clients achieve the American Dream of homeownership. Though they work for compensation, their primary focus is always on their clients' needs, which has earned them trust and respect. Neal became a Managing Broker at Best Choice Realty in 2016, where the brokerage has grown to over 300 agents, making it one of the largest in Washington.

Two homes in one great property! Recently refreshed 3-bedroom main home is warm and inviting, with a fully detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath ADU offering a second, completely separate place to live or rent. Just off Tumwater’s historic core, near the Craft District, Brewery Park at Tumwater Falls, parks, trails and local schools, this is one of those properties where the options are the story. Live in the main home and rent the ADU. Live in the ADU and rent the larger home. Or rent both and let the numbers work for you. Current combined rents are $4,532/month, or $54,384/year. Seller-provided figures show $45,313 NOI and an approx. 8.4% cap rate based on current offering terms. Even with 20% down and conventional financing, current income and expenses show potential for positive cash flow. For an owner-occupant, rental income could offset a meaningful part of the monthly payment. For an investor, you have two rentable homes with established income. Major updates throughout! Roof of the ADU is brand new, and windows in the main house have been replaced. The location makes everyday life easy, with recreation, restaurants, schools and downtown Olympia nearby, plus direct access to I-5 for commuting north or south. Spend the morning walking Tumwater Falls, head to the Craft District for dinner. Two detached homes, established income, everyday livability and more than one smart way to own it. Investor, first time buyer or downsizing? This is the property you have been waiting for!
