Community First

Building community is at the heart of what I do. In a city known for the "Seattle Freeze," I’m passionate about eliminating that perception by fostering genuine connections and creating a welcoming environment where people truly feel at home, both in their new spaces and within the larger community.

For Buyers

How I Help My Buyers Prepare and Find Their Home

Buying a home is one of the most meaningful investments you can make — both financially and personally. I begin each buyer relationship with a strategy session to understand your goals, timeline, and comfort level. From there, I’ll connect you with trusted lenders and other key professionals so you’re financially prepared and ready to act when the right home comes along. If you’re still planning your future purchase, I’ll keep you updated on the market so you stay informed and confident when the time comes to take the next step.

Throughout your search, I combine market knowledge, data-driven strategy, and strong communication to guide you through each stage — from finding the right neighborhood to negotiating the best terms. My role is to advocate for you the way I would for a family member, ensuring you feel protected, informed, and excited about your next chapter.

For me, real estate is about building relationships that create long-term stability and connection — helping people find their place in the community and feel at home in every sense of the word. When you’re ready to buy, you’ll have a trusted advisor and strategic partner by your side.

For Sellers

How I Help My Sellers Prepare and Maximize Their Sale

When I help my sellers prepare their home for market, my goal is to make the process as smooth and strategic as possible. I combine years of experience throughout the Puget Sound area with up-to-date market data to guide every decision — from pricing and preparation to presentation and timing.

I coordinate trusted stagers, cleaners, and contractors to ensure your home looks its absolute best, while keeping communication clear and transparent so you always know what’s happening and why. Studies show that well-maintained and professionally presented homes consistently sell for more — and I take pride in handling the details that make that difference.

Ultimately, my focus is on helping you move forward confidently into your next chapter, knowing your home reached its fullest potential and that you had a trusted advisor and savvy strategist by your side every step of the way.

Community

Community

Home is more than a place — it’s the people, connections, and sense of belonging that make life here so special. I’m passionate about helping others feel “at home” in the Puget Sound area by building real relationships and creating spaces where connection can thrive.

Through my work in real estate, I see every home purchase and sale as an opportunity to strengthen our neighborhoods. A portion of my compensation from every sale supports The Windermere Foundation, which funds organizations that provide housing, food, and essential support for families in need.

Beyond real estate, I serve on the board of JWI’s Young Women’s Impact Network (YWIN), where I help create events that bring Jewish professional women together for mentorship, growth, and philanthropy — raising funds to support survivors of domestic violence. I also host a Seattle Bananagrams Club, where neighbors gather over a board game to laugh, connect, and support local businesses.

At the heart of everything I do — whether through my business or the broader community — is a genuine care for people and a desire to make Seattle a little warmer, one connection at a time.
