Professional & Educational Background • I’m a licensed real estate broker as well as Certified Public Accountant (CPA). • I’ve earned 2 degrees from Stanford University: a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) and a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Economics. • I have 28 years of professional business experience, including 12 years of experience selling residential real estate in the Seattle area. • I have represented both buyer and seller clients in hundreds of successful real estate transactions within the Seattle metropolitan area. Personal Background • My partner, Curtis, and I come to Seattle via San Francisco, Paris and New York City. We are now happily settled in Seattle and enjoy the city's many different neighborhoods and fabulous outdoor activities. • We have two young sons, ages 9 and 11. • We love living in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. My Approach with Clients • My clients view me as their confidante, a trusted friend, someone who they are comfortable with in assisting them through what is always a major financial decision. • I use my analytical and quantitative skills to assist in the decision making process. I provide information in concise and consistent ways. I help make a decision that is inherently emotional into one that is more rational, more grounded and, therefore, more successful. • The real estate transaction process can seem confusing and complicated; I make it my job to manage and monitor this process, every step of the way. • I believe that open and clear communication with my clients is golden. • I give every one of my client's real estate transactions the same level of dedication and focus and view myself as their strategic partner in achieving success.
