Your home is probably one of your biggest investments, and this makes the decision to sell one of the most important financial choices you'll ever make.   Obviously, you want to get the best price and the most favorable terms.   But there's much more to marketing a home than placing an ad in the newspaper and anchoring a "For Sale" sign in the front yard.   There are a myriad of marketing options, legalities, and other details that go into the sale, from the time you set the price to the closing of the sale.  

As a leading Windermere agent on Seattle's Eastside since 1987, I have the knowledge, experience, and connections to sell your home for the best price, and in the shortest amount of time.   I serve my clients with energy, enthusiasm, and the personal enjoyment that comes from doing my job well.   I bring to the table an upbeat, can-do attitude that is reflected in the strong and persuasive marketing systems I develop for my listed properties.   Thoughtful property descriptions, expansive photo galleries, and intelligent use of internet technology together ensure that my listings receive maximal attention from the buying public and sell at top price.  

I'm educated in every aspect of the transaction, from writing an offer to negotiating the price, arranging financing, managing the buyer's structural inspection of your property, and following the deal through to escrow.

		I know the Eastside market and will help you set the right price.
		I can help you stage your home to ensure it makes great first impressions on potential buyers.  If you would like to have your home professionally staged, I can also refer you to a skilled designer who works to create a showroom effect using only your existing furniture and art.
		I can help you decide what updates and repairs you may want to do prior to listing your home for sale.  If you need a contractor referral, I can help with that too!  These contractors guarantee excellent customer service, and at a reasonable price.
		I am a member of the multiple listing service (MLS), a system that enables me to provide detailed information about your home to the thousands of other agents assisting buyers.  In addition to the MLS, I interact with other agents on a daily basis.  We trade information about new listings and match qualified buyers with the right homes.
		Windermere's nationwide referral system provides me access to the large number of people who relocate each year, increasing the pool of qualified buyers for your home..

Since I began selling homes more than 15 years ago, my primary goal has been to develop long-term relationships with clients based on trust and mutual respect.  I always put my client's interest first, and this simple philosophy has served as the foundation of what has become a long track record of business success.  Today, about 75% of my business comes from past clients and their referrals.
