Find and Compare the Best Real Estate Agents in Bethel, WA

As a lifelong resident of Puyallup, I am intimately acquainted with the charm, history and culture of the area. Growing up on a dairy farm and working in the family business, a roadside fruit stand, connected me to agriculture and the foundation of a community built on the rich, volcanic soils of the valley. My husband continues a tradition of excellence and craftsmanship as a second generation custom home builder. Together, we are raising our family in the community and schools of our childhood. Professionally, as a Realtor, I am committed to providing excellent service with honesty, integrity, sound advice and consistent communication. My knowledge of the area further enhances my ability to help clients with their real estate needs. As a member of the Tacoma-Pierce County and National Assoc. of Realtors, I belong to the most knowledgeable and trustworthy group of professionals the industry has to offer.

I have been helping homeowners sell their homes for 20 years in a way that completely breaks away from the huge marketing restrictions of the MLS. Because I own my own photography business and build custom web sites for my clients, I have total control over the expanded visual presentation and messaging. The MLS cannot project all that you have to offer in 40-60 words and a few photos. Expanded information on your home, and the lifestyle a buyer would expect, is presented via unlimited photos, video, 360 tour, description; daily and weekly activity reports; plus an actual pricing strategy; not just tossing it out there at "market value". I give you a presentation that stands out over the competition and puts your home on a buyers "must see" list. Great marketing, an aggressive pricing strategy, tracking of agent showings and more; effectively combine to achieve the highest possible sales price of your home.

There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work. That said, in my experience as a University Place real estate professional, Ive also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs. This client first philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, Ive found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything Ive always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. Theyve also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.

When I got into real estate in 2003, it was easy. There were so few Realtors and so many people buying and selling. Here I was, a brand-new agent and selling homes left and right. After only a few years of this, I had an assistant, a stay-at-home wife and a 1-year-old. We felt on top of the world. Then 2007 happened and the bottom fell out. The housing market I had come to rely on was in shambles. Overnight, my income took an 80% pay cut. During this time, we accumulated over $100,000 in credit card debt. We were expecting our second child and I was freaked out! A few years later, my marriage started going downhill. It went from bad to worse. It wasn’t easy, but we were able to save our finances by paying off all the debt. We were not as successful with the marriage. After years of individual and couples therapy, we separated and fully divorced a few years ago. I’ve learned a lot about myself. With all that under my belt, I learned how to have real conversations with clients.
