My husband and I moved to Seattle in 1976, and then four years later to south Snohomish County, where we have raised two fine sons. For nearly two decades, I owned and operated a writing and desktop publishing consulting business. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Communications and a master’s in Broadcast Journalism. As an Associate Broker — the “graduate degree” in real estate — I have what it takes to represent your interests from start to finish.

As a buyer’s agent, I will listen to your needs and help you make informed decisions. The buying process can be difficult, and different for each person, so I tailor my services to fit each client’s needs. I can provide you with updated listings via email, preview properties that fit your criteria, and show you homes when your schedule permits — evenings and weekends are fine! When you decide on the home you want to purchase, I will aggressively negotiate price and terms for you, help arrange financing, if you wish, and follow the transaction through escrow to a successful final close.

When it comes to selling a home, posting a sign in the front yard and putting the property on the Multiple Listing Service is not enough! My primary objective is to sell your home for the best price, in the shortest period of time. I have created an extensive marketing program that is proactive and targets the right buyer for your home. I believe communication is key — you can expect to hear from me regularly, and often, throughout the entire process. Thanks to my background in writing, photography and graphic design, I will create customized fliers, ads, and craft an effective visual Internet presence to help showcase your home. And as an Accredited Staging Professional, I can help you prepare and present your home so it appears in its best possible light to the buying public.

As your real estate consultant, I am dedicated to superior customer service with a friendly, personal approach. I will represent your interests with the highest level of integrity and professionalism. You deserve the very best — there is no need to settle for less.the
