When I attend an appointment that should take 30 minutes to an hour, but I hit it off so well, that everyone is laughing, telling stories and having a great time, the time can pass quickly. I realize I’ve actually been there for 3 hours, and the only thing that tipped me off: It was now getting dark outside. I love my job and it so rarely feels like work, that I am very grateful. I believe this has a lot to do with the sincere working relationships I build with my clients. In having worked with clients for over 25 years, I have learned one thing. Integrity, caring, attention to detail and sincerity are everything. I love meeting new people, getting to know them and their families. I really enjoy listening to the stories they have about the history of their homes. Touring the property together, leads them to a memory in each room and in every corner of the yard. This in turn, has a story to go along with it. I get to experience this story as they start to daydream about how this all led them to where they want to go next and what is important to them in that process. It really is a huge part of what allows me to create the perfect description of the home I sell for them and how I am able to find them the perfect match when we buy something new. The magic of being a Sotheby’s International Realty agent, means I can do this for them anywhere in the world their dreams may lead them. Does your broker make you feel like you are an old friend, that they have known for years? Do they REALLY care about you and what is important to you, your family and your lives? Does passing time with them feel natural and enjoyable? Do they take care of every detail, tailored to your requests, so you can relax? Do they listen to you and are they able to instill the confidence that they have actually heard you? Do they deliver the exact results that you wanted? Do they have the experience, the advanced education and expert level execution to help you achieve success? No? Then why do you use them?
Call me. My clients matter. I look forward to meeting you.

I love my job!
You know you love your job when:
You spend the entire weekend working, from dawn until almost midnight each day, and at the end of the weekend you think….. That was so much fun! It leaves me feel energized, inspired and looking forward to getting up to do it again tomorrow!
I really have the best clients! Fun, well educated, savvy and just a good time! I really love helping them to build their future through real estate.
Can you say that about your job? I can.
Does your broker create private tours for you, at your convenience, and hand select properties for you that you will love when you see them? Do they give you the extra time and attention it takes to make you feel valuable? Do they spend an entire day touring you all over the areas you love the most? Do they have the education, and the negotiating skills to help you win the bid in this fiercely competitive market? Do they have answers to all of your questions, and make this process seem effortless and enjoyable? Do they manage every detail for you and ensure nothing is left to chance?
No? Then why do you use them?
For me, these are all just things I do every day, for all of my clients. It is not a price point I serve, it is the quality of service I provide, that sets me apart.
Call me, my clients matter.

Call to action!!!!!! Our King and Snohomish county markets desperately need more homes for sale!
To all my friends, family, and colleagues: An announcement.
Our market is literally overcome with buyers looking for a home to buy. In every city in our greater Seattle area, North, South, East or West. In both King and Snohomish counties, in every price point, in both single family, condominium and town home style homes. In fact, there are so many buyers, that homes are selling in days. Some are selling in hours! Almost all have multiple offers.
These buyers are paying far more than asking price, as they have been searching for so long with nothing to buy, they are literally pushing the market value up in price, daily. The competition is fierce out there.
That being said, we really need more inventory. If you currently own a home, and are curious as to what the current market value of that home is, please call me. It may very well be of a value that is beyond what you could have imagined. It would be a shame to waste such a hot sellers market, by simply not finding out.
If you or anyone you know is even remotely curious, please give them my contact information. Spread the word. I am always happy to give people a complimentary visit and home value analysis, even if it is just out of simple curiosity that they inquire. It is important for people to understand the value of their investments. Whether it is to sell, or to utilize the value in a different way, perhaps a remodel?
Feel free to call me directly, email me, facebook me, or message me on one of my online platforms. I am here to help.

To remodel or not to remodel prior to selling? A great question.
This is a question I get asked almost daily by homeowners. In a seller’s market, it may not be a requirement to do these things, before you list, because the competition is so fierce to buy homes right now. Home buyers are willing to do this work for you, after they buy.
However, if you really do want a top dollar rate of return, for any remodel you do, make sure it is one that will pay you back when you do decide to sell.
Here is a great article from CBS news, that talks about the in’s and out’s of this concept.
