Meet My Team!

I often reflect on the things that make me feel like the luckiest man in the world. There are so many things I am grateful for, both personally and professionally. I will tell you right now that the truest words I have ever spoken are these: I would not be where I am without my team. For more than a decade, I have been helping my clients buy and sell their homes – sometimes simultaneously, sometimes perfectly offset, and sometimes in whatever order they may fall – and I have loved every single transaction and every client that made it possible. It is all because of my team. I wanted to introduce all of you to the incredibly talented group of individuals that make everything we do possible and that have allowed me to focus on what I do best- helping my clients buy and sell real estate in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

I am thrilled to introduce my team and 15 of the best people I know:

Something Interesting About You: I was in the passenger seat of a Mustang convertible rental car when my dad was pulled over in North Carolina as a suspect in the OKC Bombing in 1995.

My very favorite thing about this team is how dedicated all 18+ people on this team are to our collective success. Our team has never been stronger, never more together, never more successful...and that makes me really happy and prouder than I've ever been.
