As this crazy winter weather passes through Washington State, we're seeing more reports of frozen and burst pipes, causing an unimaginable amount of damage! Whether you're a landlord, homeowner, or renter, here are some helpful tips to keep your home safe this season.

I am incredibly honored to announce that I have been featured as a 2023 Five Star Real Estate Agent in the November/December issue of Seattle Magazine for the eighth time. This prestigious award recognizes excellence in client service and satisfaction, which is a standard that I continuously strive for when guiding my valued clients.

As we weather market fluctuations caused by a variety of factors, like the state of our economy, interest rates, the job market, global events, and more, it can seem like the right time to buy is always just around the corner or has just passed you by. It’s always ideal to be able to make your real estate move in your own time and on your terms, but oftentimes, due to other life circumstances, we may not have the option of waiting and must enter the market as it currently stands. Whether you’re preparing to make a sale or purchase or considering whether the timing is right, I’d encourage you to take a proactive approach and strategically navigate our real estate market as it is right now—taking advantage of conditions that could actually prove that this diamond-in-the-rough situation may yield dazzling results for your home search or portfolio-building ventures.

I am excited and honored to announce that I have been featured in Seattle Agent Magazine’s second annual Who’s Who in Seattle Residential Real Estate. I am in great company as the list features several other talented Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty brokers. Through 24 years of industry experience, it’s moments like these that reflect the impact that I’ve had on my valued clients—the reason I love to do what I do—and remind me of the importance of my work. Successfully guiding sellers and buyers in their real estate journeys and knowing that I’ve exceeded their expectations is the ultimate reward.
