As a licensed realtor and a licensed CPA, I am uniquely qualified to evaluate and negotiate a prospective transaction both as a real estate professional and as a financial executive.  When working with you, my primary objectives are to educate you about the process so that you feel confident in making some very important decisions, add value to your transaction (and ultimately your overall investment portfolio) and to ensure that you have a positive experience – whether you are buying or selling.  I understand that purchasing and selling a home can be one of the most overwhelming, complicated, exciting and monumental decisions one can make – I will strive to make this process as seamless as possible.

Whether you are a first time home buyer or a seasoned real estate investor, new to the area, or a Seattle area native, I look forward to working for you.  I recognize that every client brings unique experiences and perspectives to the transaction and I adjust my approach accordingly to ensure that you receive my expertise in the areas that are most critical to you.   

I was born and raised on the island of Oahu, working in my family’s jewelry stores when I was not in school or participating in sports.  I was educated at Mills College and the University of Hawaii and, shortly thereafter, I moved to Seattle and have been here ever since.  Additionally, I experienced Seattle’s high-tech boom first hand as the controller of a small-cap internet company that remains in existence today.  I chose a career in real estate because I am passionate about it and I enjoy working with people.  Specifically, I saw an opportunity to use my financial, analytical, and professional service background to provide a level of service that would exceed the expectations of my clients. 

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family at our cabin on Lake Cushman near Hoodsport or simply enjoying the Magnolia neighborhood in which we live.  I look forward to working with you and helping you find Aloha here in Seattle.
