Fortunately, one family member did join me for the move, Taya, my Japanese Akita.  If we’re lucky enough in life, one will discover the rewards of having formed a special bond with a pet. Building relationships based on trust, loyalty, and understanding is something that was instilled in me as a child and I continue to apply these principles to each new relationship both personal and professional.

 I currently reside in West Seattle but the first four-years in Seattle I lived in the Beacon Hill, Capital Hill, First Hill and Queen Anne neighborhoods.  I’ve spent extensive time working in communities on both the eastside and in north-Seattle. Doing so has provided me a comprehensive knowledge with a vast majority of the greater-Seattle area. 

 In addition to my familiarity with the region, I discovered my personal experience moving here provided me with valuable knowledge that I can now apply to my real estate career. Perhaps most significantly, it has allowed me to truly understand the anxieties and emotions so many of us feel when making such important decisions in our lives. Being aware of and understanding the emotional-side of selling/purchasing a home translates into a more enjoyable experience for my clients.

 This, in addition to the valuable lessons I accumulated during my previous career as a sales manager for a large salon and beauty supply company, has taught me how to provide a personable client-centered experience that you will find is thorough and responsive to your unique needs.
