“Imagine” has been the first word of every description of every listing I have had for the past 20 years. It is hard to imagine not living on Whidbey Island. I want buyers to imagine themselves living in a new home on Whidbey whether it is tiny, big, waterfront, water view or in the trees, on a lot, or in town, because this is an amazing place to live.
I love to represent Sellers on Whidbey. I have a knack for selling a property and producing the best results by negotiating the highest return on your investment. My experience as a designer, marketer, and owner of an import fashion business brings my own unique approach to real estate transactions. Selling your home and/or investment will be one of the largest transactions that you will make in your lifetime, and I respect that. I have an eye for what it takes to showcase your home in the best possible manner to attract the largest segment of buyers to your home. Pricing your home to meet market demand is important and tricky. If we price too high, your home may sit on the market for longer than average and in the end, a price reduction may be necessary to get your home sold. When I price your home, I consider many factors including the time of year you list, the competition in your price range, recently sold comps, the economy, and current market conditions. My goal is to get your home sold in the fastest amount of time, for the highest amount of money, with the least amount of stress for you.
I care about my clients and do everything possible to assure that you will be fully represented. My customer care follows the Nordstrom model, which means I will go out of my way to help you with all your real estate needs including staging, marketing, negotiating, filming, getting resources for repairs, telling the story of your home, the Island we live on and community we serve. I am a Windermere Premier Advisor for high-end properties and can help you get your luxury home or land sold.
As a buyer’s agent, I have in-depth experience in remodeling, building, land use, wetlands, septic, shoreline, waterfront, bluff studies, flood zones, wells, forestry, and agriculture properties. When I am not familiar with an issue and do not know the property, I will help you find a local land use expert to help you make a sound financial decision about the property that you want to buy. As a local expert, I know every street and area on Whidbey Island. I have lived in Whidbey for over 20 years and have lived in 5 different homes three that I built and two that I remodeled completely. I have lived on the west side, east side, south side, and north side so I can share my insights about each area of the island. I know all the little secret areas of Whidbey and my goal is to share my expertise about my community with you.
Whidbey Island is my home. I will always live on Whidbey Island because Whidbey is not about the perfect home necessarily instead it is more about the community you live in, the trails you hike, the fish you catch, the lake where you swim, the beach that you walk, the festivals you attend, the parades that remind you of the 1950s, the golf courses that frustrate you, the theater and music that astounds you, the secret venues that make you feel part of the local scene and finally the friends you will make. Imagine!
