Navigating the Market
The real estate market is hyperlocal. It’s not about what homes are selling for on average nationally or even across the state; it’s about what is happening in your neighborhood.
I am your local expert and can provide up-to-date information on home values, strategies for buying or selling, and market trends. I have chosen to partner with John L. Scott in part because they are an industry leader that is continually recognized nationally.
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.
