Why Choose Me?

We all know there are thousands of real estate agents out there and I want to share with you why I believe you'll be very satisfied to work with me...

HAPPY CLIENTS: First and foremost I believe the most powerful and objective proof of my service comes from my clients' testimonials after they have closed the sale or purchase of their home. Please see my testimonials page for some of their recent comments.

IT'S NOT JUST A JOB: I am personally active in real estate - buying, selling, remodeling and renting my own properties. Therefore I am always up on market values and ALWAYS doing real estate. It is truly my passion. I know first hand how scary the process can seem for a buyer or seller, or how confusing various loan packages can be, or how sad and exciting it is to move from a house that you've lived in for years, or what it's like to adjust your search criteria when you realize that what you decide you can afford is different than you originally hoped. I'm not out-of-touch with what it's like to be a buyer or seller, I am both often.

EXPERIENCE: My deep investment background makes me uniquely qualified in the areas of value, negotiation, return on your investment for repairs, the closing process, financing and analyzing properties.

DETAIL ORIENTED: My accounting background tells you a little about my personality - I am extremely thorough and detail oriented. This is very important when working with contracts!

CONTACTS: Through the years I have built relationships with amazing real estate professionals, such as: mortgage brokers, inspectors, appraisers, contractors, closing agents, etc. I'd be happy to refer them. It makes the whole process go much smoother when you have a competent team on your side!

EXCEPTIONAL CLIENT SERVICE: It is my #1 goal to serve my clients. I can't stress this enough. I strive to provide as much, or as little, communication, education, support and advice as my clients desire. I am available to my clients literally 24 hours a day, 7 days a week if they have a question or need. I am highly committed to my clients being happy with my service. I listen to clients desires, ask important questions to guide their decision process, offer unbiased suggestions and set realistic expectations. My listening and understanding of each client allows me to show them properties that meet their specifications and point out benefits and drawbacks that I know they'll care about.  Some agents try to force their clients into a box (an area they don't like, a house they don't like, a mortgage they aren't comfortable with, etc.) I would rather tell a potential client the truth. People tell me that the honesty and education that I provide is always gratefully appreciated. And that's why I do it…even if it means losing sales!

MY INVOLVMENT: I personally will work on every detail of your transaction. Many agents will have their assistant make follow-up calls to you or handle the paperwork or even show you houses. They quickly lose touch with you. You can be confident that I will be involved in every step with you, handling each step on-time and with diligence.

KNOWLEDGE OF THE AREA: I LOVE Seattle!! I also know it very well and I'm happy to share my knowledge about our great city with you. Whether you're looking to buy, sell, or simply have a question about real estate or the Seattle area, feel free to call or email me anytime. I'm happy to help!

REFERRAL-BASED BUSINESS: I don't spend my time marketing or looking for new clients.  I spend it helping the clients I have!  The majority of my business comes from referrals - a great sign of the faith my clients have in me!  If you know someone who is interested in buying or selling please pass along my contact info. Referrals are an honor that I strive to EARN every day. I promise to take good care of your family, friends and colleagues. To show my appreciation, I pay referral fees when your referral closes with me.
