How I Can Help You Buy a Home
My primary area where I help buyers is in Kitsap, Jefferson and Clallam counties. That covers a lot of territory, including, Bainbridge Island, Poulsbo, Port Gamble, Olalla, Port Orchard, Gig Harbor (Pierce County), Bremerton, Silverdale, Hansville, Kingston, Port Ludlow, Port Townsend, Port Hadlock, Chimmacum, Marrowstone Island, Nordland, Sequim, Port Angeles and everything in between. That is a lot of ground, but that said, for established clients, I will go further yet. To get started working with me as your buyer's agent, we need to connect on your goals. There are a great many differences in areas and what they have to offer. Real estate on the Olympic Peninsula is more in-depth given the variety. Together, let's make your next move, your best move. By networking and knowing what my buyers are looking for, I have found buyers homes that haven't even made it to market yet.

Selling Tips
How I Can Help You Sell a Home
Helping find a buyer for your home is only one facet of a real estate professional’s job. There are many more aspects including explaining the basic real estate practices and principles and all the related paperwork, Performing a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to help determine your home’s value, helping to prepare your home for sale, listing your home, marketing your home, keeping you informed throughout the process. When the sale begins, it’s important to work with someone who will assist you with the paperwork, negotiate on your behalf, make sure deadlines are met, and work with the escrow company. Our initial meeting is important for me to learn your goals. Seeing your property before I complete a CMA is important. Most people have seen the multitude of online price estimators such as Zillow's Zestimate. Take those with a grain of salt. Those estimators generally can't see your updated kitchen or if have the most fabulous view. For that reason, I go beyond surface level statistics. Working to get the most beneficial pricing strategy to meet your goals involves a symphony of information. My marketing offerings are extensive and tailored to each situation.
