REAL ESTATE LIFE
Working as a Marketing and Administrative Assistant for over 7 years allowed me to learn key ins and outs of real estate – transaction coordination, listing paperwork, virtual tours, marketing, photoshoots – THE LIST GOES ON! During those years, I wanted to become a better assistant and took the next step by getting my Real Estate license. My intention was never to become an active agent, but to just be a great helper. To my surprise, I was given the great opportunity to become a solo broker, and I am ready for it!
I’m really looking forward to helping my clients find their next home - whether it’s their first home, in-between home, or dream home! My family has had great experiences buying and selling, and I want that same experience for my clients. I understand the emotional rollercoaster of leaving a community you love but leaving a positive impact can be well worth it!
I want to help take the stress off of buying and selling by educating my clients through the housing process. Let’s discuss projects that need to be done in order to get your home ready to sell. Let’s walk through the loan process together so you know what to expect on the financial end and feel confident.
By choosing to work with me, know that I will represent you and your family with professional appearance & business skills, you can have confidence that I will do anything and everything to make your home dreams come true whether you are buying or selling. On the flip side, I’m a jeans, chucks, and sweatshirts kind of gal. I’m easy going, very outspoken, fiercely loyal, and honest. I love to travel near and far to line dance, as well as visit family. I love to drive – so whether we’re looking at a house 5 minutes down the road, or 5 hours away, know that I’m enjoying every mile of it!
PERSONAL LIFE
I grew up in Mount Lake Terrace, though my family and I currently reside in Edgewood. We bought a fixer upper with acreage where we enjoy completing projects around the house to incorporate our own character and style. I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart Kris for over 15 years and we have built a lovely family with our two girls Bryn and Evyn as well as our Maine Coon kittens Lucy and Lila. Bryn channels her creative side through sewing. Evyn channels her athletic side through competitive gymnastics. We enjoy spending time together at Lake Cushman all year-round and take an annual trip to sun lakes in Eastern Washington every Memorial Day weekend. While I’m working in Real Estate, Kris runs our family business Emerald Fire Sprinklers in Gig Harbor where both sides of our family live.
As a John L. Scott broker, my mission is transactional excellence and client satisfaction. That means I work tirelessly to make your home buying or selling process as efficient, stress-free and lucrative for you as possible.
Representation
I take pride in offering high-caliber full-service residential real estate expertise. My clients are my top priority, and I focus on delivering the best possible results for them.
Expertise
The real estate market is hyperlocal, seasonal and temperamental—in other words, it can change on a dime. Technology has made information more accessible to everyone, but it can be difficult to keep up with recent events that affect home values. The benefits of working with a licensed real estate professional go far beyond what a mobile app, online video, or website can do.
I provide my clients with information on market seasonality and information relevant to what is happening in their specific neighborhood. This customized analysis includes recent comparable sales that factor into an offer and acceptance strategy.
Negotiations
Successful negotiations help move a conversation forward and transform the process into an agreement that’s a win for all parties. Negotiation is not only a skill, but a mindset. I keep my clients’ best interests top of mind as I negotiate on their behalf.
Transactional Excellence
I am dedicated to transactional excellence for every listing and sale. What this means for you is that I oversee every detail of the real estate transaction. The transaction is far from over once an offer has been accepted. I monitor inspections, appraisals, title, escrow and loan processes. Communication and collaboration with all the partners and parties involved with the transaction ensures a smooth and timely closing. I am committed to my clients before, during and after a sale.
