My real estate career started in Seattle WA in 2006 and I am now licensed in both Washington and Texas. When I meet new clients I can speak from experience not only writing offers but also first hand knowledge as I always put my money where my mouth is. Being newly licensed right before the recession I made the plunge into flipping homes since finding buyers/sellers was a feat. I built my clientele organically and along the way purchased more renovations and vacation home investments here and abroad. Buying or selling a home can be a complex and overwhelming process, and having a dedicated and attentive broker can make a big difference. Believe it or not introverted real estate agents exist and I’m one of them. You’ll find my demeanor even keeled, engaged, persistent and patient throughout which I hope is reassuring to all involved. My commitment lies in tailoring my services to meet each client's unique needs and dedication to staying up-to-date with market trends and industry developments in order to provide the best possible service. The emphasis will always be in making the buying or selling process a positive and rewarding experience for my clients. I will meet you where you are in order to achieve your real estate goals today or down the road. 17 years in the industry has created a deep network of professionals in the real estate industry and beyond, as well as a wealth of knowledge from being on both sides. Historically, many of us in marginalized communities have been excluded from traditional avenues of wealth building. Ultimately, I want to be an advocate and help EVERYONE realize how homeownership can provide an opportunity to build equity and accumulate wealth over time.
