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

In choosing to hire me to represent you in your next real estate purchase or sale, my goal is for you to experience the type of person I would want to work with when buying or selling a home...someone who is polite, patient, caring, selfless and professional. I was born and raised in Tacoma’s Northend, and I bring with me years of experience of the ins and outs of neighborhoods in the Triangle. What sets me apart from other agents is that I put my clients first. I am not a “high-pressure” salesperson. My priority is to educate, coach and help clients reach their goals. I understand that each client is different and each situation is unique. This is why I take the time upfront to fully understand how I can best assist each person, family or investor I work with. When working with me, you should expect a lot of fun, laughs, the highest level of professionalism and a successful real estate transaction! An added bonus for you...I am a NINJA Negotiator!

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.

I started selling real estate back in 2014. A few years later, I obtained Managing Broker's license and took over as the Designated Broker at a local real estate company. In 2020, I decided it was time to open my own Real Estate Brokerage and that's when Purpose Realty was formed. I now have the opportunity to not only help my clients buy and sell homes, but I get to teach other agents how to be successful in this industry. I am looking forward to helping you accomplish your real estate goals. www.PurposeRealtyWA.com I am looking forward to using my education and experience to help you accomplish your real estate goals and dreams!

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. Here is an example? www.ThisCouldBeYourHome.Windermere.info. Great marketing, an aggressive pricing strategy, tracking of agent showings and more; effectively combine to acheive the highest possible sales price of your home.
