"TO ME, REAL ESTATE IS ABOUT PEOPLE NOT JUST PROPERTY"
Why I Do It
As a homeowner myself, I’ve walked the path of a first-time buyer. I remember the uncertainty, the questions, and the frustration of working with agents who didn’t truly listen or care about my needs. But I was also lucky—when it finally counted, I had an agent who did show up for me. Their honesty, patience, and support made all the difference, and that experience is a big part of what inspired me to become an agent myself.
I’m here to be the kind of agent I wish I had—someone who is honest, transparent, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping you reach your goals. I don’t see my clients as transactions. I see them as people, families, and future neighbours.
If you're ready to buy now, I’ll walk you through every step with clarity and support. And if you're not quite there yet? I’ll be your guide—offering education, check-ins, and encouragement until the time is right. No pressure, just partnership.
My goal is to be your go-to real estate resource, not just for one transaction, but for a lifetime.

FAQs
How is the market right now?
The market's always moving — and it's different depending on where you’re looking. Home prices, interest rates, and local trends all play a part. I keep a close eye on Puyallup and surrounding areas, so I can give you the most current info for your specific goals.
Are there programs to help buyers purchase a home?
Yes! Washington offers many assistance programs for first-time buyers, veterans, and others. From down payment help to lower interest rate options, you may be closer to homeownership than you think.
How much money do I need to buy a home?
Not as much as you might think! While 20% down used to be the standard, many loan programs require much less — some as low as 3%, or even zero down for qualified buyers.
How long does it take to buy or sell a home?
It depends on your situation and the market. A typical home purchase takes about 30–45 days from offer to closing. Selling can also vary — but with a solid strategy, I help you move quickly and smoothly.
What’s the first step if I want to buy a home but I’m not ready yet?
Let’s talk! I’ll help you figure out where you’re at in the process, what steps to take next, and how to prepare. Whether you’re ready in 3 months or a year, I’ll be with you every step of the way.
