"People come first , then the  house which in turn makes a home where memories are made and people live."

Purchasing or selling a home is one of the biggest and most important transactions you will make in your life. Why trust that transaction to just anyone? As a local realtor for Hood Canal, Allyn, Belfair, Grapeview and the Shelton area, I will commit 100% to you.

I have been in the real estate business and worked with the same company,Windermere Peninsula Properties for 9 years. My success (which is YOUR success) is due to my knowledge, professionalism and more importantly, my commitment to my clients and work ethics. Having worked in a small town bank in Allyn, WA previously for 8 years, gave me the experience and knowledge of the importance of focusing on my clients needs and services along with the highest of standards of work ethics for myself.

Not many understand the logistics of working with a realtor. When you chose a realtor to work for you, you are asking me to make a commitment to you with no salary or wage unless I am successful in achieving your goal. This means that you are trusting me to be loyal to you as I would ask you to be loyal to me. When you hire me, I give 100% to you. And in return I ask that you give 100% to me. If you are working between agents, you are asking me to compete with another agent without your loyalty and it is not a good business decision on my part to give 100% and expect nothing in return if you decide to work with another agent. I only ask that you remain loyal to the agent you feel will accomplish the job and that you are comfortable with. I know that with my experience, knowledge, work ethics, and customer care, your transaction will go smoothly. Let me take care of the details, and there are many - you focus on packing and decorating your new home!

My family and I reside in Allyn and I am very familiar with the Allyn, Belfair, Grapeview, Hood Canal, Puget Sound area. I am a problem solver, a negotiator, a marketer, and a person you can rely on to get the job done. I believe in honesty, trust, loyalty and fairness. My work ethics and communication skills are top notch and I would love to share them with you.

I am ready to give you 100% in solving your real estate needs; if you are ready to make the move, and want someone who will work hard and commit to you - I am only a phone call or email away!

Truly "listening" to a client's needs, wants and their goals' is very important in the real estate industry. Along with the listening skills, the knowledge that I have to offer allows me to focus on my clients and achieve those goals and offer solutions to their real estate problems and help you benefit from the changes in the market. It is important for my clients - all of my clients - to realize and know that my success is based on their success; I am not successful if  I am not successful in achieving my clients goals, whether it be buying or selling their homes; therefore, our relationship is truly a working partnership setup to reach and achieve success for my clients as well as myself.

Two of my areas of expertise include 1)  Hood Canal & Puget Sound waterfront homes for sale in and around Belfair, WA; 2) LakeLand Village homes for sale.

Our Truths- These truths distinguish Windermere and are the foundation for our success. We believe that people are more important than houses. We always start with the client's point of view. We solve people's needs while fulfilling their wants. We know everything about our neighborhood and community. We understand that a house is a box where people do their living. (It is where memories are made and lives take place.) We are citizen-agents and a central part of the fabric of our community. We ease and guide the home buying and selling processes and transform the leap of faith to a step of faith.  We protect our clients by educating them and negotiating on their behalf. We are entrepreneurs. We are creating a cause which is way more than building a company. We are creating vibrant, livable and humane communities. Our ability to provide consumers with an incredible experience makes us a great real estate company.

I believe each and every customer deserves my full attention and they are all my top priority.
