A buyer's agent for the Eastside - Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Issaquah.
Buying a home in the Pacific Northwest can feel like a sport - escalation clauses, pre-inspections, multi-offer chaos. My job is to make it feel less like a sport and more like a series of clear, well-informed decisions.
We start with a conversation - not a contract. Your timeline, budget, neighborhoods, must-haves, and the things you can't quite name yet.
I'll connect you with two or three lenders I trust. We'll get you pre-approved with terms you understand and a number you're comfortable with.
I set up a private, real-time workspace of properties - including pocket listings before they hit the open market.
We tour homes together. After each one, we calibrate. The goal isn't to see a hundred houses - it's to see the right ten.
When the right home appears, we move. Pre-inspection, escalation clauses, contingencies - built around the home and the seller's likely motivations.
I coordinate inspectors, review reports with you, negotiate any repairs or credits, and stay in close contact with the lender and escrow.
Final walkthrough, signing day, key handoff. You should walk into closing knowing exactly what you're signing.
The relationship doesn't end at closing. Trusted contractors, anniversary check-ins, and an open door for the next move - whenever it comes.
As a Compass agent, I bring institutional-grade tools to your search - from real-time market data to access to homes that never reach Zillow.
In the PNW market - yes, almost always. Sellers expect it, and you'll know your real budget before you fall in love with something outside it.
As a buyer's agent, my commission is typically paid through the transaction. We'll always discuss this transparently up front before any agreement is signed.
Often, yes - but not always. We'll walk through when it strengthens your offer and when it doesn't justify the cost.
In Washington, typically 30-45 days from offer acceptance to closing - depending on financing, inspections, and any negotiated contingencies.
Whether you're three months from buying or just exploring - early conversations make better decisions.
