Summary
Successful 15 year residential real estate agent and love what I do! I’m a pinch hitter, a can-do person with amazing negotiation skills, organized and capable of making cold and warm calls. I’ve closed everything from vacant land to high end homes, condominiums to acreage all over King and Snohomish and Island counties!. In addition, I’ve got a great track record with investors and successfully sold most homes for over asking price! With Master’s degrees in both organizational development as well as creative writing I can effectively lead an organization or project and utilize outstanding communications and organizational skills. Outside of my current agent capacity, I currently am a property manager for two residential properties and one commercial property in 3 different states. I’m super handy and refinish furniture in my spare time.
Equipped with strong problem-solving abilities, willingness to learn, and excellent communication skills. Poised to contribute to team success and achieve positive results. Ready to tackle new challenges and advance organizational objectives with dedication and enthusiasm.
