A Realtor® with the Bellevue office of Coldwell Banker Bain (#1 in the world!), I am locally, nationally, and internationally certified as a luxury home marketing specialist, a designation achieved by only 4.6 of worldwide Coldwell Banker associates. My real specialty, however, is providing warm, personalized serviced, minimizing the stress of buying or selling a home, coupled with extensive market knowledge and unparalleled client representation.
I have a degree in psychology from San Diego State University (Go Aztecs?) and have done graduate work in law and fiction writing, a natural combination. My favorite combination—love houses, love people—is what makes me so gosh darned good at real estate advice and representation.
Since my business is referral based, I ply my trade from the Cascades to the Sound, but mostly along the 520 corridor: Greenlake/Wallingford, Montlake/Madison Park, Ravenna/U-District/Laurelhurst, Medina/Hunts Point/Yarrow Point, Kirkland/Redmond and Clyde Hill/Bellevue. I'm finding some interesting developments down Renton, Beacon Hill & Mount Baker way these days, as well. That's me to the right in my car, my home away from home. My sticks 'n' bricks home is on the Eastside, where I raised my two daughters (alumnae of the golden triumvirate of public education: Clyde Hill Elementary, Chinook Middle School, Bellevue High). I continue to volunteer at Bellevue High, designing and constructing costumes for their fabulous drama productions.
Speaking of construction, I am a toolbelt-wearing, addicted home remodeler, who pounds nails for Habitat for Humanity as well. The 3rd photo (below right) is me bendin' rebar for humanity. (It's hard!)

Women’s Council of Realtors
National Association of Realtors
Washington Association of Realtors
Seattle King County Association of Realtors

I'd be pleased and proud to show you what I mean by "excellence in real estate advice and representation."
