The secret to finding great help? Look for someone who is already busy doing what they love. 🏡
Real estate has been more than a career for me—it’s a lifelong passion. I currently help buyers and sellers throughout Seattle and Bellevue, while also working with a team in Miami and South Florida. My experience also includes real estate in Dallas, years as a mortgage broker, and more than 20 years as an active real estate investor in single-family and multifamily properties.

Working across different markets has shown me that real estate is handled differently throughout the country. I’m constantly learning from what works in Seattle, Miami, and beyond—then bringing the best strategies, tools, and ideas back to my clients.

That broader perspective helps me stay creative, solve problems, negotiate effectively, and guide clients with experience that extends far beyond one transaction or one market.

Things that are totally normal in Bellevue—but sound wild almost anywhere else. 😄
Think $2 million teardown homes, coffee meetings that turn into AI startup pitches, preschool waitlists, four EVs charging in one driveway, $200,000 kitchen remodels, luxury condos with golf simulators, and kids’ activity calendars more complicated than a corporate schedule.

Then there’s the G-Wagon that never goes off-road, the home gym paired with a boutique gym membership, and families living in $3 million homes who still describe themselves as middle class.

It’s all in good fun—but from a real estate perspective, some of it is very real. In West Bellevue especially, land value, location, and redevelopment potential can push teardown properties into the $2 million range.
