I approach my job as a broker as that of a consultant and educator. I explain the many steps of the buying and selling process and provide my clients with what they need to know to make informed decisions. My strength working with buyers is combining a knowledge of Seattle housing types and neighborhoods with the ability to listen and draw out from my clients what they want in a home. As a listing broker, I excel in helping clients prep their homes for the market by recommending what work will get them the most bang for the buck and managing the improvement projects. At times, I put on my gardening gloves or pull out my tool box. For small houses and condominiums, I stage them myself. For larger homes, I bring in professionals. I generally offer complimentary staging.
