As an EBA (Exclusive Buyer Agent) I offer my clients an added advantage by representing their best interests and not the interests of the seller. Exclusive buyer's agents negotiate in the best interests of the buyer, do not disclose buyer's confidential information and reveal all known facts affecting the value of properties to the buyer. 

As an e-PRO (e-commerce Internet Professional) I am able to take advantage of the latest in technology to assist you in your real estate needs and keeping in touch.

As a GRI (Graduate, REALTOR® Institute)*,  I have an unwavering commitment to the highest ethical and professional standards.

As a member of the Northwest Multiple Listing Service (NWMLS), I have unlimited access to the latest and most complete information available on all Washington property listings.

I have held a real estate license not only in Washington for over five years, but I previously held real estate licenses in California and Nevada for 5 years concurrently. Moreover, my previous experience opening new casinos and working in the industry in four states, for a many number of years, brings to real estate, an ability to apprehend clearly the character, nature, or subtleties of differing people (particularly helpful during the negotiating process) and being able to understand the difficulty and stress of constant moving and relocation. My experience has prepared me well for paying attention to detail, prioritizing, coordinating, negotiating and organizing, all essential elements in a successful real estate transaction. I am a firm believer in continuing education, and keep my skills on the cutting edge through reading and attending professional seminars and classes.

I currently live in Tacoma and have lived in Pierce County for over seven years, I originally came to Washington in 1992. I have two grown daughters, a grandson and a granddaughter. I like to garden, redecorate/decorate, cook, spend time with my pets, watch movies and read on my off time. 

"I am committed to giving you and those that you refer to me, the highest level of service possible."
