Real estate is in my blood. My family going back three generations have been brokers, owners, or investors in residential and commercial real estate in Washington, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. In my family, real estate buying, selling, and investing has always a topic of discussion around the dinner table.

My real estate path began in the University of Washington Law School and then lead to my real estate, business, and contract law practice. I also became involved with real estate acquisition and investment early, buying my first single family residence at age 25 and building my own portfolio of residential investment properties over the years. Expanding into real estate brokerage has allowed me to pursue my passion of working with clients and helping to make their real estate goals and dreams a reality.

I have a thorough understanding of contracts from my legal practice, and a bone-deep knowledge of the Northwest, having been born and raised here, and having lived here my whole life. I understand how to price your home, how to write a clean offer that will appeal to buyers or sellers, how to work with lenders and escrow, and I can negotiate and get your transaction closed with terms you can feel good about.

My husband is a data scientist and his family has lived in Washington since before it became a state. Between the two of us we have lived in the University District, Tacoma, Ravenna, Lakewood, Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Ballard, Queen Anne, and – back in the very old days – Unincorporated King County! There probably aren’t many streets in King, Snohomish, or Pierce County that we haven’t driven down at some point.

Outside of work, I enjoy coaching my children’s baseball teams and elementary school cross country team, running the school gardening program, assisting with the school auction, teaching “adulting” classes to post-grads, baking mouth-watering desserts, traveling around our beautiful world, learning piano, practicing family photography, and dabbling in acrylic and watercolor painting.

Thank you for your business and for your trust in me!
