History
Prior to real estate I was working in Japan for several home builders. I had studied Japanese and loved the culture. As the Japanese market (bubble) began to crash I could see that things were about to change in a big way. A friend suggested that, with my building experience and background, real estate would be a great career. I took their advice and so began my odyssey with Windermere Real Estate. It's the only company I've worked for and I'm absolutely loved it.
Specialties
I specialize in helping buy and sell homes in the greater Seattle area. My promise to my clients is that they'll never wonder what I'm thinking and that I will tell them the truth even when it hurts. For buyers, I use my extensive construction experience to help them forecast what issues may come up on an inspection or later in home ownership. I also help advise them on what is feasible and what is not practical in each home we view. For sellers, I work hard to anticipate what issues may come up on an inspection report and how best to mitigate it and also when do something and when not to. In plain words, how not to waste money in the wrong places. For both sellers and buyers I use my 20 years of real estate experience as a top producer in negotiating the best possible outcome. I would love to meet with you to see if I'm a good fit for your needs.
