Hello There!
I’m a west coast woman through and through, who’s lived in California, Oregon and Washington.
I am an island business owner, proud mom of three wonderful kids (now adults), music lover (ask me how many live shows I saw in one year) and a realtor known for going above and beyond for her clients.
At 23, I bought my first house in West Seattle – from there, I was hooked! For 25 years, I’ve successfully purchased, managed, and remodeled real estate projects, then positioned them for sale. These transactions have included single-family homes to small multi-family properties. I wanted to bring what I’ve learned to the home buying and selling market and use my 20 plus years of real estate and marketing experience to make the process successful for you.
With strategic planning and research combined with market knowledge, I’m dedicated to representing and negotiating on your behalf.
Finding properties that meet your emotional and financial needs is invaluable in today’s market. I’m here to listen, research and thoughtfully guide you to make educated decisions based on your goals. Whether you are new to the Pacific Northwest region or moving within our county or island, I am excited to partner with you to find your dream property or sell your beloved home and prepare for your next chapter.
What I Believe…
-
Our partnership is built on trust, not an agency agreement.

Negotiation is not a negative; it's a chance for a win-win.

Respecting your goals and providing only honest and thoughtful feedback.

Communication with a strong dash of humor weathers the stressful times.
A Little More…
I’m a Bay Area native, growing up in San Carlos, CA. I took the leap and moved to Washington for college and graduated from Washington State University with a BA in Communications/Public Relations.
Although I spent my formative years in California, I consider the Pacific Northwest my home. I also enjoyed living in Lake Oswego, Oregon for 8 years before moving to Bainbridge, where my family and I have lived happily ever since.
After college, I started my career as a National Account Coordinator at Transamerica, specializing in Multi-Family Investment properties working closely with our title, escrow, and legal teams.
I’ve remodeled multiple homes and most recently restored a 1940 Crystal Springs beach cottage now available for short term rentals.
I am an outdoor enthusiast and love skiing, but my happiest moments are traveling with my family.
