There are a million real estate agents out there. Why me?
Let's cut to the chase: getting a real estate license doesn't automatically make someone a real estate expert.
You're trusting your agent with one of the biggest financial—and often emotional—decisions you'll make. I believe you deserve someone who brings more to the table than access to the MLS and the ability to write a contract.
My experience spans residential sales, investing, construction, remodeling, design, development, business ownership, and psychology. Every one of those experiences changes the questions I ask, the risks I notice, and the advice I give.
I have a degree from UW in psychology, with a focus on group/couples therapy & human behavior. I understand how to help couples navigate stressful decisions with compassion and resolution.
I am an active real estate investor- I have experience in flips, new construction, subdividing land, Airbnbs, and more. I bring firsthand experience with flips, new construction, land development, short-term rentals, and value-add properties to my investor clients.
I operated a remodeling company for four years, both behind a screen and project managing with boots on the ground.
I have owned a wedding venue (during the pandemic!), a clean & sober house, and a remodeling company. I handle stress & negotiations well, and intimately know how to manage many moving parts at once.
I understand how houses work - what is a big deal, what isn't, and how to improve what's there. I can help de-stress inspections, help plan a remodel, and make design decisions that make a big impact for low dollars.
Most importantly, I communicate clearly, give honest advice, and meet clients where they are, whether they're buying their first home or evaluating their tenth investment.
Investor & Project Consulting
Finding the deal is only the beginning.
For select investment projects, I can stay involved from acquisition through resale—helping evaluate the opportunity, develop the renovation strategy, make design and finish selections, coordinate with your contractor, and position the finished property for the eventual buyer.
My experience as an investor, designer, remodeling company owner, developer, and Realtor allows me to look at the entire project rather than one piece of it.
Depending on the project, consulting services may include:
Acquisition & Feasibility
Deal analysis, property research, renovation potential, resale considerations, and due diligence.
Renovation & Design
Scope planning, layouts, finish selections, value engineering, and designing for the target buyer.
Project Guidance
GC coordination, bid and scope review, design decisions, and ongoing project consultation.
Exit Strategy
Pre-listing preparation, pricing, positioning, marketing, and resale.
Services are customized to each project and may be offered separately from real estate brokerage services. Please book a consult for more information.
For investors who want more than just an agent.
