 These amazing clients were placed in my care by one of my most adored co-agents, Mischa Lorraine, of Golden Gate Sothebys International Realty, located in Berkeley, California. 

What an honor it is to be trusted to assist this special couple with the big decision to downsize after living nearly 30 years in their family home. I interviewed them and we had many pleasant and fun filled conversations, encouraging them to dream about what their perfect new life might offer them. They gave me a wish list and within just a few short weeks, I found the home of thier dreams in an active adult community! They could not be happier!

I am so honored to have been trusted by a respected colleague to assist their treasured clients with such a huge life changing event. These clients are truely amazing people and I wish them all of the fun and bliss this new life chapter will create for them!

This experience is one for the record! 

I was contacted directly by a gentleman out of Maine, USA. He found me by doing a lot of research online. He told me that he and his wife had visited the West Coast many times and had fallen in love with it. They were planning this move several years ahead to relocate here upon retiring. He wondered if I would be willing to help him find a property, that he was not sure would actually exist. I asked him for a list of his dream criteria.

They were:

 – A condominium located in a walking community with a lot of activites nearby

 – Waterfront but not too loud

 – A view of Mount Rainier

 – Not too far from the airport

 – High rental income rate

 – And here was the final clincher…. Located in the path of migrating whales so that he could view them from his balcony.

That was a tall order. I was absolutely game for the task. 

My specialty, is assisting clients in any community they want to live in, both locally and internationally. I do this through study and research, which allows me to become an expert anywhere in the world.

Together, my client and I gathered a lot of data about whale migration, proximity to the areas he wanted, rent revenues and walking districts. We did this together for many months. After a time, we narrowed down the search to specific areas that met most or all of that criteria. 

He flew out a few times, to view specific listings I had selected for him. After two visits, we found “the one”. The Baker Condominiums in Point Ruston! He was absolutely in love! It met every single point on his criteria list, even the whales! He flew out his wife for the next visit, and she too fell in love. I helped them make an offer, and secured the property for them at asking price.

The following trip I had the pleasure of also meeting thier daughter, and we all had lunch in the village nearby. It was so satisfying and heartwarming for me to see all of them so happy about this new life chapter! It was truely one of the most memorable experiences I have had in my career. I am looking forward to the day when they become my neighbor, so we can visit over lunch again. 

All the best to you and your family!

Enjoy the view!

Sincerely.

  University District- Boarding House     

Sold: $1,695,000

This propery has a long history and a great story. This property happens to be one of the very first properties I ever contracted early in my career. The clients were savvy real estate investors and world travelers who were long standing clients of one of our Califoria Sotheby’s International Offices, looking for investment opportunities in Washington State. I was put in charge of their interests and did my research based on their criteria. On one of thier first visits to our State to look at properties, we ran across this one off-market. I successfully negotiated the sale for them, and they have owned and operated it ever since as a very successful addition to their real estate portfolio. 

We have become friends over these long years and stay in touch regularly. They are even the proud parents to one of my Boston Terrier puppies, perfectly named Teddi Spaghetti. I absolutely adore this family, they are such amazing and fun people, who are full of life. 

Recently, via referral, working with Niko Raptis of Realogics Sothebys International Realty and Dave Poletti, of Poletti nd Associates, who had been managing the rental for many years, it was successfully sold in 1 day for asking price. My clients were elated! 

Congratulations on this successful sale!

Thank you both for your years of loyalty and friendship!

MLS#: 1390990

Sold: $887,500

Congratulatons to this fun family! A referral from a dear friend, who happen to be two of her closest friends, I was honored to be selected to help them downsize to their new home. 

They had long been searching for a property near their dear friends home and this one caught their eye. I was able to assist them in successfully winning the bid for BELOW asking price, and they even paid BELOW appraised value. That means, they essentially had equity in this new home, from day one.  That is a rare occcurrance in our hot local market to be sure. 

With a breathtaking view of Lake Sammamish and walking distance to their best pals house, they could not have been more pleased. I was so proud to have this opportunity to help them acheive their dream. 

Many years of happiiness to both of you and thank you for trusting me to assist you!!

COMMERCIAL

The Clover Building- Bellevue, Wa USA

This was a very fun transaction. I was contacted by a private company who hadd been searching for a commercial lease, who had found me by researching online for expert agents in this area. Their corporate office found my experience to be top notch and just what they were looking for. They required a very specific list of criteria: size, speciffic layout and ameneties, and proximity location to a large local company. All within a very tight timeline. 

I was able to create a tour of acceptable properties within days and took their team on tour. They had not experienced looking at commercial spaces before, so I was able to educcate them on the steps, and hep them visualize what thier new offices would loo lie, after construction was complete of the empty shell we were viewing. It was reassuring to them to know they had all their bases covered there. After looking at several locations, we found just the right fit. I was able to negotiate terms for them that included several months of free rent and all TI they wanted payed for by the landlord. They were so very pleased and ever so grateful. 

I really enjoyed working with this amazing company, learning more about what they do and sincerely honored to meet their team of managing members. It was a lot of fun and I look forward to seeing the finished space!

All the best in your expansion efforts!

I wish you and your company all the success and prosperity!
