About Me

Making Your Real Estate Dreams a Reality

I'm a wife, mom, friend, and professional. I've been around home building & design/buying/selling since I was a kid. My father was a contractor and the first few years of our marriage my husband and I had a home contracting business. We've bought and sold a number of homes for our business and a few of our personal homes. We've also owned a short-term vacation rental for an investment in Arizona. Why does that matter? You get the benefit of ALL of my experience. I've been a part to a lot of real estate transactions - from both the buying and selling sides and in both good and bad markets. Combine that experience with my natural gifts design, attention to detail, problem solving, and a number of years as a marketing executive; you get the benefit of it all.

I help clients move across town, across state, even across country, into assisted living, into more independent living, and buy property to build a dream home. It doesn't matter to me if it's $70k to $1M+. There's a perfect home for you....let's go find it.

Beyond Real Estate

I love everything about HOME; from cooking to entertaining to changing my home décor' to a cozy night with a fire, movie and good glass of wine.

When I'm not working, you will find me inviting family and friends into our home. My husband and I love to entertain and are often the hosts of 2 to 100 guests. You might also find me in a gym or on the field watching my kids, or kids I love like my own, play basketball, volleyball, football, etc. We've always been a sports family and I'd be lying if I didn't admit I'm just a bit competitive.

Why Desert & Pine Homes is Home for Me

It's no secret;

I LOVE my Washington community, friends, and clients.
I LOVE helping my clients realize their real estate dreams!
I LOVE the warm weather and sunshine of Arizona!
I LOVE owning a home in Arizona!
Many of you also LOVE the warm weather and sunshine of Arizona and would LOVE to own a SECOND HOME IN ARIZONA!

Since my husband and I purchased a home in Arizona a few years ago, many of my Whatcom County friends have looked to me for advice when they considered purchasing a home there. I shared our experience. Now licensed in Arizona, you can trust me to provide the same great service and representation in AZ as you get here in WA. This is a natural extension of my service offering that helps my clients realize all of their real estate dreams.

I reached out to Julie and we were both drawn to the idea of working together. We have a shared vision of a multi-state team and doing this business differently than a traditional brokerage. I’m so excited to be working with a group of like-minded professionals that are motivated by collaboration and helping each other succeed. Desert & Pine Homes is Whatcom County's one-of-a kind boutique real estate group offering our clients a personal, high-end, full-service experience with a concierge approach. Think of us as your single resource for anything related to the home buying and selling process.

We bring a broad range of experience and backgrounds in real estate, construction, plat development, investment properties, short-term vacation rentals, professional staging, and stunning interior design.
