Local knowledge is my expertise.  My career in real estate sales spans over 30 years.  I have been a full time resident and community member on Mercer Island for over 25 years.  My wife Tracy and I have four children who attend or have graduated from Mercer Island Schools.  As an active member within the Mercer Island community, as a Boys and Girls Coach, Mercer Island School Foundation Board Member and Advisory Board Member, I am deeply connected and immersed in Mercer Island life.  Combining this Local Knowledge with an astute business experience, I have developed a unique and informed perspective of the real estate market on Mercer Island.  I have closed many hundreds of transactions in differing market conditions. I have negotiated dealings in residential, new construction, multi-family, commercial and land sales.  As a real estate broker, I utilize my extensive network of acquaintances, colleagues and business associates to work for my clients.  My Local Knowledge and experience truly sets me apart.

Representation

I take pride in offering high-caliber full-service residential real estate expertise. My clients are my top priority, and I focus on delivering the best possible results for them.

Expertise

The real estate market is hyperlocal, seasonal and temperamental—in other words, it can change on a dime. Technology has made information more accessible to everyone, but it can be difficult to keep up with recent events that affect home values. The benefits of working with a licensed real estate professional go far beyond what a mobile app, online video, or website can do.

I provide my clients with information on market seasonality and information relevant to what is happening in their specific neighborhood. This customized analysis includes recent comparable sales that factor into an offer and acceptance strategy.

Negotiations

Successful negotiations help move a conversation forward and transform the process into an agreement that’s a win for all parties. Negotiation is not only a skill, but a mindset. I keep my clients’ best interests top of mind as I negotiate on their behalf. 

Transactional Excellence

I am dedicated to transactional excellence for every listing and sale. What this means for you is that I oversee every detail of the real estate transaction. The transaction is far from over once an offer has been accepted. I monitor inspections, appraisals, title, escrow and loan processes. Communication and collaboration with all the partners and parties involved with the transaction ensures a smooth and timely closing. I am committed to my clients before, during and after a sale.
