About Me
I fell in love with the real estate industry after buying and remodeling two homes. My partner and I could often be spotted at open houses, even though we were not in the market for a home. Real estate gives me the opportunity to work with a wide variety of people and properties. From first-time home buyers, investors, or the family looking for their forever home, each transaction allows me to build relationships with amazing individuals from all aspects of life. It’s not a job when you love what you do!
I am patient, hardworking, detail-oriented, and loyal with a passion for helping people. My goal is to meet and exceed my client’s home buying and selling expectations, making each experience a pleasant one, as well as an experience that they will want to share with their family, friends, and loved ones.
I began my career in the construction industry, learning from my dad, who was a building contractor. I became an electrician and ran my own electrical contracting business. In 1992, I sold the business and moved to Seattle. I joined the corporate world and spent 17 years in management and customer service. I decided that it was time for a change. Now I am using my knowledge of people and building industry experience, side by side with Windermere’s superlative training and support, to do something that I truly love to do.
When not working……
I enjoy gardening and have had two homes on neighborhood garden tours. I like day hiking, playing with my two pugs, dinners with friends, and home projects. I support Seattle Pug Rescue and am a member of the Rainier Beach Community Club.
