✨ CLOSING DAY ✨

A great result starts long before a home hits the market.

These sellers put in the work to get their Lakewood home ready, starting with a pre-inspection so we could address concerns upfront and give buyers confidence. They also spent time refreshing the landscaping, and the timing couldn’t have been better—the yard was looking its absolute best when we launched.

The payoff? Multiple strong showings, two solid offers, an inspection waiver, and a sale over asking price.

Every home is different, but thoughtful preparation, strategic timing, and a solid marketing plan can make a huge difference in the outcome.

Congratulations to my sellers on a smooth and successful closing! Wishing them all the best in their next chapter in sunny AZ. ☀️🏡✨

✨ CLOSED IN DUPONT! ✨

Congratulations to my seller on the successful sale of this adorable condo in DuPont! 🎉

Condos can sometimes take a little extra patience, so getting this one under contract felt like a win—and making it all the way to the closing table feels even better. Every transaction has its own journey, and I’m grateful I had the opportunity to help guide this one from start to finish.

Wishing my seller all the best as they move on to their next chapter or next investment opportunity! Thank you for trusting me to help along the way.

✨ CLOSING DAY ✨

A huge congratulations to my buyers on finding the perfect place to call home! After relocating from out of state, they landed an incredible property that checks all the boxes—space, value, and a fantastic location.

This one truly felt like a hidden gem. With a great floor plan, a huge yard, RV parking, and room to grow, it was an amazing opportunity in today’s market. Even better? It’s located in the highly sought-after Steilacoom Historical School District and just minutes from JBLM, making it a great fit for military life and long-term plans.

Helping military families navigate a cross-country move is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. Thank you for trusting me to be part of such a big transition. Welcome to Washington—we’re so excited to have you here! 🎉

✨CLOSING DAY 🎉🏡

It’s been a busy week!

So excited for my clients on the sale of their DuPont home! I had the privilege of helping them buy this house as first-time homeowners, and getting to help them again for this next chapter feels extra special.

This house just had such a good vibe from the beginning. Warm, welcoming, well cared for, and the kind of place people instantly feel comfortable in the moment they walk through the door. Those homes always stand out.

Huge congratulations to my sellers as they move on to what’s next. Thank you for trusting me again through another big milestone. Watching clients go from first-time buyers to seasoned homeowners never gets old. 🤍🏡

✨ CLOSING DAY ✨

Friday was a double closing day! Congrats to my amazing Steilacoom sellers! 🏡✨

A few years ago, I helped them buy this home, and since then they completely transformed it. They put so much thought and hard work into modernizing the space, improving functionality, and making it feel like home in every sense of the word.

The market definitely noticed… under 12 hours on market and closed over asking price. 👏

So happy for these sellers and excited for their next chapter. It’s always extra special getting to help clients through multiple seasons of life and homeownership. 🏠💛

✨ CLOSING DAY ✨

Wrapped this one one last Friday, and I am so excited for this family! They had been patiently searching for the right view home, and this one finally checked every box.

Incredible views, a beautiful layout, amazing gardens, and the kind of place you walk into and immediately start mentally arranging your furniture.

So excited for them to start this next chapter and make the space their own! 🏠🔑🍾

✨CLOSING DAY ✨

Congratulations to my Dad on this sale & these buyers on their new Ocean Shores getaway! This is surely bittersweet as we’ve had many family memories here, but my mom would be so happy to see this amazing family in this house. In true Filipino style, they brought the whole family and some delicious food & dessert! We are so thankful this home is going to them.

Life has looked a little different around here lately with Josh’s care, but real estate? It’s been moving right along, and I am so grateful.

One of the things I love most about this career is that so much of it can be done from home - answering calls, responding to messages, negotiating, strategizing. I haven’t stepped away, but reprioritizing and definitely leaning on others for help.

I’ve leaned on some incredible colleagues to cover in-person appointments and help pull listings together, and I won’t pretend that was easy to ask for, but it was worth every bit of humility. My clients have been in wonderful hands, and closings like this one are proof of that.

To everyone who has trusted me with your real estate goals during this season, and continue to have trust in me, thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💛

✨Closing day in Lacey 🏡

Not every sale is just about real estate. Sometimes it’s about helping people move through a season of change, keeping things calm, professional, and focused on what matters most.

Proud to have helped guide this one all the way through. 💛
