Hello and thank you for visiting! It is my goal as your full-service real estate consultant to provide you with superior service at all times. My local expertise will benefit you whether you are serious about buying or selling a home at this time, or just starting to think about it. Each and every client is treated with the utmost professional and personal service. My goal is to make buying or selling your home as stress-free as possible. Please contact me to discuss how I can best assist with your real estate needs.
Sincerely,
With over 20 years experience in the real estate industry, I love my job! There is no better thrill than matching people with their new homes. While some agents simply sell real estate, I commit myself to exceed your expectations as your personal real estate consultant, making professionalism and integrity throughout the process priority #1. I am committed to my clients and remain good friends with many past buyers and sellers. I work full-time and am available weekends and evenings to provide assistance that fits your schedule. Prior to joining Windermere, I worked for a prominent Eastside appraisal firm as a commercial appraiser, and also as a bank review appraiser. This background provides a strong sense of values, housing trends, and the overall market. I continue to hold a State Certified General Appraiser license, as well as a Real Estate Salesperson license, and always exceed the required education for both license renewals. I currently hold an ASP (Accredited Staging Professional), MCNE (Master Certified Negotiating Expert), CSSN (Certified Short Sale Negotiator) and IMS (Internet Marketing Specialist) designations. How I Work: It is my philosophy that I don't sell real estate, but rather, help match people to homes. For buyers, my job is to be your real estate consultant, providing you real estate knowledge, information, and guidance. I constantly tour available properties in the area to keep familiar with the inventory, and to save your valuable time and effort in viewing homes. Once we've found that right home, I'll provide strong negotiations and follow deadlines through inspection, financing, escrow, until handing over keys to your new home. I also co-teach first time homebuyer classes sanctioned by the Washington State Housing Finance Commission. For sellers, I'll provide a customized marketing plan for your unique home, do a thorough analysis to find the 'right' listing price, and keep you informed throughout the selling process. I believe in full service, including helping prepare your property for market. (Accredited Staging Professional designation. There is abundant information indicating staged homes sell quicker and for more money.) I also believe in holding open houses and broker's opens, following up with every viewing agent for valuable feedback, keeping you up-to-date on market trends, presenting the best features of your home in marketing materials, providing strong negotiations (Certified Negotiation Expert designation), and following the sale through to a successful closing. Communication is key and I provide weekly updates with all my sellers.
To read comments from my past clients, Click Here. On a Personal Note: I am committed to giving back to the community. I love participating in our Windermere's annual charity events, "Shoes from Santa" and Community Day. A donation is made to the Windermere Foundation with every transaction. I volunteer as a 'big sister' through Big Brother/Big Sister program (& have the sweetest little sister ever!). I currently live in Kirkland, an city I absolutely love. I am a proud mother of two grown children. My hobbies include spending quality time with family and friends, gardening, working (yes, working), and attending comedy shows at www.laughscomedy.com.
