Welcome, I am a green certified real estate consultant with well-rounded knowledge of different facets of real estate, be it a first time home or a commercial apartment building. I am familiar with the 1031 exchange process, condominium construction, renovation and repair, and investment and cash flow principals.
My purpose is for you to be so outrageously happy with my level of service that you gladly refer two people to me before the transaction is over. Buying and selling a home is voted one of the most stressful things a person can endure and I believe it is very important for you to have someone in your corner prepared and capable of dealing with all the details. I look forward to learning about you and your needs.
I'm not sure if I'm the right agent for you, however if you are comfortable with my experience, the level of service I am committed to providing you, and your values line up with mine; I would love an opportunity to meet with you.

As a person I am very involved with the arts as Chair of the Mercer Island Arts Council. Facilitator of the 3rd Thursday Art Walk on Mercer Island May - October, I am always interested in meeting new artists.

Determine people needs through listening skills. Giving referrals is one of my favorite things to do...aside from my friends comparing me to a human GPS system, they also refer to me as the Yellow Pages since I have a great referral to recommend for just about every need.

Looking forward to meeting more people who are in the business of green.

Licensed Associate Broker in the State of Washington since 1995.

Obtaining my Washinton State Real Estate license in 1995 after spending my six previous years in commercial real estate and luxury property management I started selling homes by converting my renters into buyers. In 1998 I obtained my Associate Brokers License in order to support my clients with additional skills and education. In addition, I just became Green Certified by the National Association of Realtors October 16, 2008.

Continuing on to manage some very well known condominiums in Belltown, such as; The Concord, The Ellington, Seattle Heights, Belltown Court and Waterfront Landings I was smack in the middle of the ever increasing condominium construction defect lawsuits. So, not only did I participate in defect discovery, declarant participation settlement proceedings, but also coordinated the repairs per agreement. I put together million dollar budgets making sure insurance deductibles and reserves were adequate. All of this makes me a condominium expert.

I also formed a company with a consultant, Mandy Henry-Adams, on the development side called Adams Martin Associates, we develop warranty management for master planned communities as well as consulting with Home Owners Associations regarding their best plan for dealing with construction defects implementing temporary staffing for this process as needed.

The sale, renovation and rentals of single-family homes, condominiums and multiplexes for investment purposes are just a part of every day life in my world. I would love the opportunity to help it become a part of yours weather it be a career in real estate or creating wealth through real esate investment.
