Premier Real Estate Service with a Personal Touch

Are you looking for a Professional Realtor that is knowledgeable and experienced in the Seattle Metropolitan and Eastside areas?  Everything you need to know about buying or selling a home can be found here on my web site! As a Managing Broker and Accredited Buyers Representative, I am dedicated to providing premier real estate service while breaking new ground.

Because the real estate industry is becoming more sophisticated and challenging every day, you need an educated and experienced real estate professional that understands the industry and is positioned to stay ahead of the game.

I have earned the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation, of which 5% of all agents have achieved.  I strive to go beyond your expectations in helping you sell or purchase a home and to do so in a smooth & stress-free process.  I believe in clear communication, attention to details, and educating you throughout the entire transaction.

Thinking about SELLING?  I constantly research the market and property values so your home is priced effectively from day one.  I also make sure the public knows your home is for sale by using innovative advertising and marketing techniques to attract potential Buyers.  Because my INTEGRITY is the foundation of my business,  I will not tell you what I think you want to hear, but will tell you the truth.  I will create a personalized, detailed marketing plan and provide you a COMPLIMENTARY MARKET ANALYSIS so you can evaluate my work and know what my services are prior to listing with me.

In the market for BUYING a home?  As an Accredited Buyers Representative, I provide my Buyers with EXCEPTIONAL BUYER REPRESENTATION at no cost to you!  I can be reached 7 days a week, and often work 7 days a week.  The only way I can do this is because I love my work as a Realtor, and I love serving my clients!  The majority of my business comes from referrals of past clients, so I guess I must be doing something right!

Background

Bachelor of Arts in Politics & Government from the University of Puget Sound, Certificate in Legal Assistant Studies from the University of San Diego, post-graduate studies at the University of Washington, and Real Estate Education at the Rockwell Institute. Advanced real estate education includes professional training as an Accredited Staging Professional (ASP) and as an Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR).  I am also a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), the highest designation awarded to Sales Associates in the residential sales field.  Only 5% of all Realtors have earned the CRS. Having lived in both Seattle and the Eastside and given my years of experience working in the legal and medical arenas, the career move to become a Realtor was like coming home (no pun intended)!

It’s In My Name!

With a name like “HOUSE”, I was destined for real estate!… I truly love my job. It allows me to meet new people and to help them in their search for the right home.  I am a results-oriented Realtor and belive that clear communication, attention to detail and strong negotiation skills have helped me become a successful Realtor.  I provide the highest level of integrity to my clients and am committed to their real estate needs.  In addition, as a full-time Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), I have the education and experience that will achieve the highest net result for the sale of your home, and the best negotiation strategies for the purchase of your home.  I enjoy a successful business balanced with time for family, friends and hobbies (skiing, running, golf, kayaking, biking, and travel).

Seller’s Representation:

Excellent communication with other agents and potential buyers is key to the successful sale of your home.  The marketing and sales strategies I utilize are streamlined and provide optimum results.  I have advanced training in home presentation and have earned the Accredited Staging Professional (ASP) designation.  I am professionally trained to help “stage” your home to maximize its  attributes and minimize its shortcomings.  I educate my sellers throughout the process of selling their home and am fully involved to help insure a successful closing in the least-stressful and most-efficient manner possible.

Buyer’s Representation:

I have advanced training in Buyer representation and have earned my designation as an Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR).  I am dedicated to finding the right home, at the right price and in the shortest amount of time possible.  Even if the home isn’t listed for sale, I’ll try to find it by contacting the homeowner to see if they are interested in selling.  Buying a home can be stressful, but I like to make it fun and educational as well.  I work diligently to research and review new properties, network with other agents regarding present and upcoming properties, and educate my Buyers to help them make informed decisions.
