I have found that I seem happiest inside when I am serving the needs of others, and my real estate career has allowed me many opportunities to do this. Whether I am helping a buyer find the right house, or helping a seller through a rough situation so they can move on to the next chapter of their life, there are not many times when I feel more satisfied than when I know I have done what I needed to do the help the client get to their goal.I have been in the top 50 agents in Pierce County on an ongoing basis (out of 2500+ agents). I do not want the sound like I am bragging, because I do not feel I am better than others as a person. I think I work harder to help clients get where they need to be.My home inspection background has helped in the process of locating homes for buyers, and has helped when I list homes for sellers. There are certain things you learn along the way that benefit others regardless of what you do for a living. The difference is that some choose to use their knowledge to help others, and some do not.In recent market conditions, I have done just about everything within the residential realm of real estate. From helping investors find good rental properties and homes to flip, to working with short sales and bank owned properties whether a buyer agent or a listing agent. The skills you learn from one benefit you and the client on the next deal. I have also been involved in the liquidation of condominium assets through the Receivership process, selling 22 units in one project, 7 in another, and 9 in another.... with more projects coming.I hope you can understand why I feel my experience can help you with your needs when it comes to real estate, and if you or someone you know needs assistance, I would be honored to hear from you.
