International Property Specialist
Greater Seattle Area
I am a Realtor® specializing in four primary real estate market segments:
• international real estate for both incoming and outgoing investments
• seniors and estate planning changes
• relocation
• housing for university students
I can support your wish to sell or purchase real estate anywhere in the US, Canada, UK and in many other countries around the world. I do not participate in dual agency because I believe that my clients deserve undivided attention and advocacy. My knowledge of the international and Pacific Northwest real estate markets will help you, or a friend, make informed and confident real estate decisions.
I currently hold the National Association of Realtors® designations as:
• Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS)
• Transnational Referral Certification (TRC)
• Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES)
These designations connect my clients with very exclusive networks of similarly qualified agents in over 55 countries around the world. It also gives my clients added exposure in marketing their properties internationally.

The CIPS designation gives my clients access to a unique network of professionals in 55 countries around the world. In the short term I am focusing on properties in British Columbia that will be effected by the Vancouver Winter Olympics of 2010.

The SRES designation indicates my focus and training to advocate for a group of people who are frequently experiencing dramatic life changes. I recognize that buying or selling real estate often encompasses a great deal more than simply marketing a home and am prepared to provide support in all aspects of buying a vacation property, selling a family home or moving to a retirement community. This process often involves a number of family members and we are ready to support you.
