I am a local Washington Resident. I was born in Lacey and have lived in Yelm for most of my life. Growing up, I attended schools in  Lacey and Yelm, graduated from Yelm High school, and went to South Puget Sound and Centralia colleges and then The Evergreen State College. My major was in humanities. With the ‘design your curriculum’ style of Evergreen College. I was able to focus on my two loves, history and literature. The classes led me to “Literary Symbolism with historical and Cultural perspectives.” I enjoy being in nature and have worked for two years as a paraeducator in the local schools.

I got into real estate by chance as I was getting out of teaching. My grandmother, who inspires me every day, suggested I try it out, and the rest is history. I love the networking and house-matching part of this job. I have a strong desire to learn and study the forms and contracts daily to keep myself and my clients as informed as possible. There is no such thing as procrastination in my world, so expect a timely response and a set timeline, which will be communicated. If I have a listing, there will be complete transparency. If I have a buyer, there will be a strong level of communication about the market, and I will ensure the right price and house fit. Most of all, this is a relationship business; I will match your energy and get you to the right people on my team who will effectively respond and deliver the best results.

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 challenging 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 neighborhoods. 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.
