I began my real estate career as a full-time Broker in 1990, practicing Real Estate in the busy Portland, Oregon market place before coming to beautiful Olympia, Washington. I specialize in Residential and Land sales, with an affinity for Homes on Land. I am well versed in short sale and REO transactions. I was awarded the Star Realtor for Thurston County Award by the Association of Realtors. I've also been recognized nationally with the National Sales Award The Dozen? for being in the top 5% of all Realtors nationwide. I'm a graduate of the Masters Sales Academy for Realtors. I've also been an instructor for new real estate agents. I have my BA in Economics from Lewis & Clark College, and graduate studies in Counseling Psychology at St. Martins University. I truly have an affinity for VA buyers/sellers and first-time buyers. If you're relocating, I go out of my way to be sure you have all the information about neighborhoods, schools and services that is important to you. I am detail oriented and have a strong background in research. What I don't know, I will most certainly go find out! I ALWAYS return phone calls and emails the same day, most times the same hour. Your happiness & satisfaction with my services is of deep importance to me. What this means to you is that I have the caring and experience to make your next move fun and drama free! You truly can Expect Excellence.
