Biography

Family

I have a wife, six children between us with the youngest boy of twenty-four the only bachelor. We are excited about our ten grandchildren ages ranging from a couple months to thirteen years old. We also have a beautiful six year old Cockapoo male dog and I just love him. (Guilty, dog lover)

Experience

Before real estate I spent many years working as a Store Manager and District Manager. While being a Store Manager I put myself through College at the University of Phoenix earning my Bachelor of Science in Business Degree. Through the years I've run high volume businesses meeting thousands of people with endless success. The success I attribute to working with good ethics, integrity, honesty and building great relationships.

Activities/Hobbies

Sports are on top of my list. I love participating in multiple sports as well as going to cheer on the Seahawks, Kraken, Mariners and Huskies when they're playing at home. I have managed/coached my sons baseball teams when he was pitching for several leagues. Now I'm assisting coaching my grandson. Growing up I played football, baseball, softball, basketball, tennis, golfing and on. I participated in tournaments and actually walked away with the championship in tennis on my ship USS Bellewood LHA-3 while I served in the US Navy. 

Relocating

I originally am from California and relocated to Washington. Living in Washington 11 years has been a blessing. The Great Northwest is everything I thought it would be starting with the cool fresh air & green trees. I reside in the Lake Stevens, Snohomish area and have a view of all the mountains around us. Seeing Mt. Baker to the North and Mt. Rainer to the South on a clear day is Majestic. My neighborhood is surrounded by tall green trees, colorful flowers and plants. The neighbors are friendly and wonderful, how could anything be any better. 

Why choose me.

As a broker I will work with clients to determine market trends, marketing solutions, pricing evaluations, property and area comparisons, contract negotiations, and all that is entailed to bring your sale or purchase to a smooth and successful result. Sharing in the moment of buying or selling a home with clients will always be something I love.

Here's a testimonial

" I was looking for my first home in the middle of the pandemic. With all the challenges that entailed Art was more than up to the task. He clearly explained each stage of the process and kept me up to date on every change. Even after closing Art frequently asked how I was doing and if my new home was still to my liking. Suffice to say when buying or selling a home Art should be your first and only choice. "

Testament

Art made the process of buying our first house easy. He was quick to show us new listings, schedule walkthroughs, and follow up afterwards. Art helped us get the house that we wanted for the original asking price, even in this competitive market. We highly recommend Art and would work with him again
