Born and raised in the northwest, I am a former Pac-10 athlete from the University of Washington where I graduated with a BA in Accounting, and have over 25 years in both public (as a CPA) and private industry working through the structure of complex tax and financial transactions. Since March of 1993, my wife and I have had the great privilege of calling the city of Mill Creek “our hometown” and in raising our three kids here. During that time, I have personally witnessed the tremendous growth and dramatic changes that have come to define our city and the entire south Snohomish county region. Through this, I have had the unique opportunity of developing a tremendous knowledge-base and understanding of the factors and trends driving our local real estate markets.

As a buyer's agent, I will listen intently to your needs and help you make informed decisions. The Buying Process can be difficult, and different for each person, so I make it a point to specifically tailor my services to fit each of my client's needs. To begin this process of locating your new home, you will simply share with me your preference in home style, size, location, and price - and I will quickly identify those homes meeting your criteria by unleashing the unique and proprietary technology resources provided by Windermere. I will then preview each home identified; compile a short list of homes to tour; schedule a time most convenient for you to view those homes selected; negotiate the most favorable price and terms on the home of your choice; assist you in arranging financing; track the transaction through escrow; and be there with you as we bring your purchase to a successful close!

I think it is safe to say that the goal of each and every homeowner looking to sell their home these days is to maximize their net proceeds from sale and to do so in the shortest time possible. As a home seller, you should know that that is my goal as your Listing Agent as well. Initially, I will conduct a thorough analysis of the key attributes of your home and compare them against like-type properties in your general area to arrive at a pricing range for your home. Once a pricing strategy has been established, I will customize an extensive marketing program that is proactive in its design of targeting the right buyer for your home. Your home’s marketing campaign will include customized fliers, ads, private and public showings to real estate professionals and exposure to my own unique Buyer network. In addition, I will leverage the technology interfaces and relationships that Windermere has at its disposal in crafting an effective internet presence to help showcase your home. Throughout this marketing campaign, you can expect to hear from me with regularity as I believe that communication is key to establishing the bonds of trust that bind our goals and relationship together. And finally, you can rest assured that I will successfully negotiate on your behalf for the highest available price and guide you through the many contractual deadlines and legal issues that tend to present themselves throughout the selling process.

When you choose to work with me, you can count on having a smooth and pleasurable experience with no surprises. My primary goal is to exceed your expectations and minimize your stress by anticipating and resolving issues before they arise. For me, this is not about a one-time sale; but instead, it is ALL about building a lasting relationship through loyalty, trust and hard-work. To that end, most of my clients today are referred to me by others who have found satisfaction in my abilities and professional standards. In fact, I can receive no higher compliment as a real estate professional than to earn your confidence in referring me to others. I encourage you to think of me as your very own personal real estate “coach” as you contemplate seriously either the purchase of a new home or the selling of your existing home.
