Buying

Last updated 4.8.2025

For Buyers:

Before the Internet, hiring a real estate broker was essential to finding and purchasing a home, as agents had exclusive access to information about availability, location and pricing. 

But the Internet changed everything.

Today, buyers can easily search for homes online, view photos and videos, and gather a wealth of information. So, why do you need an agent? Because I take the time to understand your needs and preferences, providing you with professional yet candid advice. My goal is to be your trusted advocate, guiding you toward a decision you will be confident in for years to come. I will never steer you toward a choice that is not in your best interest. Having personally attended hundreds of open houses before finding the perfect home for my wife and me, I understand how overwhelming and time-consuming the search process can be. I also know the value of having an unbiased perspective along the way. 

If you are looking to buy a home in Seattle, Mercer Island, or the surrounding areas, I am here to help.
