What\u2019s the first thing a new client should know about you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

I got my grit and discipline from my younger years in Japan and NJ.\u00a0 But after spending most of my formative career years in NY and CA, I\u2019ve learned to have a good balance between a New York state of mind and a laid-back West Coast attitude.\u00a0 I think you\u2019ll see that in my personality and work ethic.<\/p>\n\n\n

What inspired you to start your career in real estate?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

I\u2019ve always been interested in real estate and after my own personal and professional experiences over the years, I knew this was the industry where I could apply my skills and knowledge while continuing my passion for helping people.\u00a0 I was inspired to make the jump in 2020 and I\u2019m thrilled to be with Flyhomes.\u00a0 I love that the team focus is on people, not properties, which makes the entire buying experience much more personal rather than transactional.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

What Seattle neighborhoods are you most familiar with?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

I\u2019m most familiar with the Eastside, specifically Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond and Issaquah.\u00a0 But you\u2019ll often find us venturing out to Alki Beach in West Seattle and the various farms in Snohomish.<\/p>\n\n\n

Where do you live?  Why did you choose to live there?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

My husband\u2019s family is in Vancouver, BC, so we made the decision to leave the Bay Area to be closer to them and I\u2019m glad we did because we love the PNW!\u00a0 We started to research the different cities around Seattle and narrowed down the neighborhoods we liked based on school districts, ease of commute and types of homes available.\u00a0 Ultimately, we found a fixer in Bellevue and after a fairly major renovation, it finally feels like home.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

How do your skills in fields other than real estate enhance your ability to help buyers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

My background is in the hospitality industry so taking care of people is what I do best.\u00a0 I\u2019ve planned many events of great size and complexity from start to finish, and have extensive experience running the operations side, as well.\u00a0 I enjoy working hard so that you don\u2019t have to and hopefully you won\u2019t even know what I\u2019m doing behind the scenes because it\u2019ll just be done.\u00a0 For me, no detail is too small, because at the end of the day, it\u2019s crucial in executing and getting things done the right way. Those years of being over-prepared and strategizing around potential \u201cworst case scenarios\u201d have trained me to be proactive, stay calm under pressure and ready for anything that comes at me.\u00a0 I do ask a ton of questions to understand both the spoken and unspoken needs you may have so I hope you\u2019re prepared!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

What are your passions\/hobbies outside of real estate?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

I love spending time as a family!\u00a0 We\u2019re always discovering new places, trying new foods (we are currently doing our own \u201cinternational food tour\u201d since we can\u2019t travel), and sharing laughs together.\u00a0 We are definitely an active family so there\u2019s a good chance that you\u2019ll bump into us at an ice rink, hiking trail or food festivals.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
