“Data is not information, information is not knowledge, knowledge is not understanding, understanding is not wisdom.” - Clifford Stoll
Over the course of more than 20 years as a Windermere Owner, Principal Broker and Agent, I’ve been honored to serve a wide multitude of clients under myriad circumstances. Experience provides the guideposts for a journey from data to wisdom, and the relationship with a trusted, pro-active real estate advisor proves itself over and over as the essential ingredient to success in the housing market.
Every house is home to someone, and no two clients are the same. With a market in constant flux and an escrow process adding dozens of fingerprints along the way, each transaction has a singular composition. Above all, housing choices are deeply personal, with emotional and practical considerations that cannot be overlooked. My role is to study the unique interests of my clients in order to put them in the strongest negotiating position possible, make the process as smooth as it can be, and get buyers and sellers where they need to be - ON TIME. I believe it's the best job a guy could ever hope to have.
Born in Phoenix and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I earned a bachelor's degree in business from the University of Washington before joining the Windermere family in the 90's. Today, my wife and business partner, Kerry, makes every day special at home and at work on the west coast. Together and whenever possible with our grown-up kids, we spend our free time on the things we enjoy most: Extended Family, Athletics & Travel.
You may be a first-time buyer, you-may be a tenth-time seller and you may be anything in-between or beyond. Whoever you are, and whatever your real estate needs, I'd be delighted to connect. Rest assured that there will be no pressure, no sales-pitch, and no persuasion - Just a conversation about your unique interests and our ideas on pursuing them. Let me know if you have any questions - We're here to help!
Whether you're a newcomer or a native looking to buy or invest in this beautiful state I'm here to help. The weather and lifestyle create some wonderful opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors and customs we all cherish. My desire is to show you some great neighborhoods our communities have to offer and hope you become one of us.
Probably one of the most important financial decisions you will make. Let's not forget how important it can be for your family too. That's why I take the time to find out your needs and desires so that as a team we can accomplish your goals and dreams. With over 25 years of experience plus consistently educating myself about the market and how I can improve my service I want to be the best for you. Please call or e-mail me if I can be of service.
