Supporting Executors & Heirs -
My Default Is To Help
My natural default is to help, in my personal life and my business. I love helping people. That's why my work has never been about sales volume. It is about helping people move through one of the most difficult transitions they will ever face with as little stress as possible. I specialize in estate and probate property sales in Whatcom and Skagit County, and I have built my practice around a single belief: that families navigating the sale of an estate property deserve a real estate professional who manages the property side of the transaction with competence, care, and genuine concern for everyone involved.
The Estate Team
A Three-Way Partnership
Selling an estate property is not something any one person navigates alone. It requires a working partnership between three parties, each with a distinct and equally important role; the estate executor and/or heirs, the estate attorney, me -your real estate professional. I do not provide legal guidance. I do not make assumptions about what the estate is authorized to do. I listen to your wants and needs, follow the attorney's lead on timing and legal readiness, and I make sure the property side is handled so that when the legal side is ready, we are ready too.
The Bottom Line
Here is what I want you to know about how I work and where I add the most value. I stay in my lane.
I am a real estate professional, not an attorney. I don’t give legal advice, rather I point executors and heirs back to their attorney. That’s why the Three-Way Partnership is so important. We each do our part and collaborate for the best outcome for our clients. I measure my success not by sales volume but by how well I serve my clients through this difficult process. I truly care about the outcomes and taking care of people along the way

Choosing The Right Agent Matters - The Bottom Line
"Settling an estate can be a daunting and emotional task. I understand the stress that comes with this kind of responsibility and the importance of handling it with care and sensitivity. My role is to guide you through the property and market dynamics while working in close coordination with your attorney, who is protecting the legal side of the transaction. Together, we can help executors and heirs move forward with as little stress as possible."
