I am dedicated to helping people fulfill their real estate needs whether it's marketing their property to potential buyers or finding the perfect home and neighborhood for their lifestyle. I draw from my professional and personal experiences and believe that the key to success is all about people, systems and follow-through. Licensed in 1995 I joined Windermere Real Estate in Bellevue, Washington. The lure of a more relaxed lifestyle in Anacortes and it's proximity to the San Juan Islands for the array of marine recreational opportunities it offers as well as biking, hiking, horseback riding, camping, picnicking and nature walks led my family and me to initially visit and in 2003 to live. In January, 2009, I left Windermere and happily joined Coldwell Banker Island Living where my business is thriving.

I believe in exceptional customer service both to my clients and fellow agents. Whether a client is in the luxury home market, a military family relocating or a first-time buyer, I give the same service. I treat everyone with respect and integrity. My clients consider me to be friendly, resourceful, professional and mindful of the details. Details are important to the real estate process and to me. I do what it takes to keep my clients happy.

I've earned the GRI designation (Graduate Realtor Institute) from the Washington Association of Realtors which is awarded to professional real estate practitioners who complete extensive course work covering every facet of real estate practice from the laws that apply to transferring real property to how to effectively market homes for sale. GRI's are nationally recognized as top performers in the real estate industry. I am a member in good standing of the National Association of Realtors, Washington Association of Realtors and the North Puget Sound Association of Realtors.

On a personal note, I love to travel (Scotland is a favorite), boat, ski and crochet. I'm also a voracious reader and want to learn to knit.
