My mission is to provide cutting edge service in the marketing of real estate. Real Estate is my passion, whether the homes are large or small. We are not just a marketer of real estate, my areas of expertise includes developmental issues, NDS process, building requirements, structural issues, condominium management, construction defect issues.
Having lived in the Eastside and worked in the Lakemont and King County area for over 40 years, I have been serving residents with their real estate needs for 30+ years, first as their lender and then as their real estate agent. As a lender, I was one of the first underwriters endorsed by HUD to review & underwrite their appraisals & loans. That lending experience gives me the edge on hedging possible lending restrictions on properties.
I work by referral, believing that every client is an investment in my future. So if you have a client who is upsizing, downsizing or widesizing, and would like to have a knowledgeable person along with the high quality of service that we provide, please call me with their name, phone number and/or email address.

I was born in Seattle, but I spent the first 7 years of my life as a daughter of an American GI veteran overseas in Asia. Then my parents re-located to Hawaii. I've lived on the eastside now since 1967, after being unwillingly transported from sunny Honolulu, HI. After graduating from high school and attending college in Portland, OR, I decided that Seattle is not a bad place after all. After the rains, the sky is so blue and the air is so fresh! It's so conveniently located to ski resorts, bike trails, hiking trails, and Huskies stadium! I love being in Seattle.
Areas of Expertise:
My background as a review appraiser and Direct Endorsement underwriter for the 30 years prior to becoming a full time real estate sale associate gives me the expertise with homeowners, sellers, buyers, real estate investors, builders and developers. My being a custom home builder in the mid-80s gave me the knowledge to work with builders, developers, as well as county & city officials in zoning, permitting, and inspection issues.
