I enjoy sports of all kinds, am a car enthusiast, enjoy spending time with family and relaxing at our get-away home in the San Juan Islands. I am currently President of the executive board for the Northwest Parks Foundation where we are greatly involved with healthy parks all around the northwest.

WHY SHOULD YOU SELECT A COMMERCIAL AGENT?

Commercial real estate is a complex multi-faceted business. In order for investors and owner-users to realize the highest potential return on investment, an agent must fully comprehend all aspects of the commercial transaction. The knowledge necessary to properly represent the commercial client can only be gained through years of commercial real estate experience and education. Residential real estate experience, although important for residential transactions, does not provide the expertise necessary to properly represent the client in commercial transactions. Commercial property transactions take months or even years to complete due to the intricacies and commercial regulations, so the Commercial Agent must be experienced, competent, committed, persistent, and extremely proactive through the marketing, negotiations, due diligence and closing stages of a transaction. The Commercial Agent must be willing and able to competently work with attorneys, accountants, architects, space planners, bankers, contractors, environmental consultants, and governmental representatives. I have a combined 25+ years commercial real estate experience. I would hope that you will select me to represent your commercial needs with my guarantee to you that you will receive my full experience, committment, confidentiality and integrity.

MY OBJECTIVE

Real estate involves a complex mix of personal, financial, and legal decisions. My objective is to make this process comfortable and to assist my clients by providing them with the tools and necessary information that will allow them to make an informed decision. I know I am qualified to guide my clients through any and every step of the transaction process. I would be honored to represent you with your real estate needs.
