I've always been involved in real estate one way or another. Growing up with two parents and two grandparents in the real estate industry since the early 70's, I became very familiar with the business early on. After graduating from Western Washington University in 1994 and returning to my home town in the City of Spokane Valley, Washington, like many college graduates, I did not know how I was going to put my college degree to work. Slowly I realized the answer had been with me all along. I loved listening to all the real estate stories my parents and grandparents told about helping people buy and sell homes and I had just received a degree in marketing and advertising, so why not market real estate?! I joined the Windermere team in 1996 with my parents 27+ years ago and now I get to be the one telling stories to my kids about helping people realize their biggest dreams of owning their own homes and helping lots of amazing people get top dollar for their homes! I have always placed a high value on education and believe a Realtor should be as educated and professional in their profession as they can be. Over my 27+ years as a real estate broker, I have consistantly embarked on higher levels of real estate education and as a result, have earned the GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute), CRS (Certified Residential Specialist), CMRS (Certified Military Relocation Specialist), and ePRO (Internet Professional Marketing Specialist) designations. I am entrusted to help people make important decisions about one of the single highest valued investments they will own and don't take this task lightly! I'm all in for you!
For the past 27+ years I have been proudly affiliated with Windermere Real Estate in Spokane Valley, Washington and in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Over these 27+ years I have witnessed many real estate companies and many real estate agents in the industry come and go. At the same time I’ve also witnessed the powerful growth with Windermere Real Estate, both locally and nationally, and am proud to say, WE’RE DIFFERENT! Windermere attracts, hires and retains top professional agents with similar mind sets, goals and integrity and people who care about the communities they live in. Windermere is not about receiving the highest sales volume award for the month or who the top producers in the office are. While we do not have award ceremonies for top producers, we do celebrate educational achievements and encourage each other to advance in our knowledge of real estate. Windermere is about professionalism, integrity and community. Windermere is about sharing in a vision for a better community and working together to give something back to our communities. Windermere is about striving to achieve a higher level of customer service for our clients and developing the knowledge, the cutting edge technologies and tools necessary to do so. Windermere is different, and that is why Windermere is leading the way in progressive real estate marketing and sales!
Every Windermere agent has an amazing opportunity to get involved, make a difference and to give back to the communities we live and work in through many different avenues. This is what attracted me to Windermere initially and it is what has kept me here for the past 27+ years. I believe in the Windermere way and the Windermere philosophy that we must give back to the communities we live and work in. Our communities are where we live and work and they are our life blood. If our communities are strong and healthy so are we!
THE WINDERMERE FOUNDATION: (National Effort; Local spending) Every time a Windermere sales associate sells a home, a portion of the commission goes to the Windermere Foundation, a non-profit organization established in 1989. Contributions from Windermere agents combined with contributions from Windermere employees and the public have allowed the Windermere Foundation to distribute millions of dollars annually to non-profit agencies dedicated to helping homeless and low-income families. The Windermere Foundation supports organizations that provide shelter, clothing and hope for families in need in the neighborhoods we work in. ***************************************************************************
WINDERMERE’S COMMUNITY SERVICE DAY (National Effort; Local projects) Once a year Windermere agents trade in pens, contracts and cell phones for hammers, shovels and paint brushes to work together to give back to the communities we live and work in through the form of a Community Service Day. Not only is Community Service Day a great opportunity to give back to the communities where we live and work, it also gives us a chance to work together. Utilizing donated time, talents and resources we clean, landscape and repair, parks, playgrounds, schools, shelters and community buildings. Each office selects a project that best serves its community needs. Past projects have included cleaning, landscaping, painting and light carpentry to benefit senior citizens centers, facilities for physically and mentally challenged children and adults, public schools, low income housing and emergency shelters, among others. If you have an idea for a future community service project we would love to hear from you!

WINDERMERE'S FALL SHOES, SOCKS AND BACKPACK DRIVE:
Local Windermere offices team up each fall to provide shoes, socks and backpacks to local children prior to the start of the school year so that less fortunate children will feel more confident about showing up for that first day of school. Who doesn't like a new pair of shoes?!
