I first entered real estate in 2012 as home inspector, building and operating a successful inspection business in the Greater Puget Sound area. My diligent and patient approach consistently earned the trust of my clients, and the respect of experienced brokers.  Having evaluated over 3,000 homes, I bring a wealth of unique knowledge and experience to share with my clients as they navigate questions and concerns that often come up when considering selling or purchasing a home. 

I acquired my broker’s license in 2019. While I enjoyed inspecting, I knew then that being a broker was my next destination. This work allows me to continue pursuing my passion for homes, serving people and communities, and delivering an excellent client experience end-to-end. I am thrilled to be working full time as a broker, ready and committed to helping my clients feel confident and supported every step of the way.

I'm a former 100-ton licensed captain and sailor of traditionally rigged vessels. Being connected to the sea continues to be an influence in my life.  I have called the Pacific Northwest home for nearly 20 years, living life in the communities of: Orcas Island, Bainbridge Island, Seattle, and Bellingham. When I'm not inside houses, you can find me tinkering in the garage, drinking coffee, biking, and spending time outside and around the city with my wife and two daughters.

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.
