A few clients at a time. The full truth, every time.

• Quality over quantity. I limit how many clients I work with at once. You work with me directly. I do the research, the analysis, and the showings myself, and your questions get answered by the person who did the work.
• Candid to the core. You get the information I'd want if I were the one buying or selling: what a property is really worth, what's wrong with it, and what it will cost to fix. If I think a deal is a mistake, I'll tell you so and show you why. The decision is always yours. My job is to make sure it's an informed one.
• Skin-in-the-game experience. I've bought, owned, renovated, and managed property in this market with my own money. The advice I give clients is the same analysis I use for myself.

• A decade on the Eastside and in Seattle. I've lived, owned, and invested across Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond, Kenmore, Bothell, Woodinville, and Seattle. I know these neighborhoods as a resident, not just from listings.
• Hands-on renovation experience. I've personally managed a full pre-sale renovation: cabinetry, flooring, bathrooms, appliances, contractor coordination, and punch-list work, with every decision priced against expected resale value. When I estimate repair costs on a home you're considering, it comes from having written those checks.
• HOA and condo depth from the inside. I've served as treasurer of a condominium association through a major multi-million-dollar exterior rehabilitation, including six-figure-per-unit special assessments. I read reserves, budgets, resale certificates, and meeting minutes line by line, and I know how assessments affect financing, resale, and buyer confidence.
• Real underwriting. I've analyzed and negotiated residential deals across Washington: rental income, renovation costs, resale value, cash flow, and total cost of ownership including dues, taxes, and assessments. I'm a software engineer by training and build my own analysis tools; every recommendation comes with the data behind it.
• Negotiation across the table. I've negotiated directly with sellers, brokers, contractors, vendors, and property managers on price, inspection risk, financing, and renovation assumptions.

• Pricing grounded in data. My comparative market analyses are built from comparable sales, current inventory, and market conditions, and I walk you through the reasoning behind the number, not just hand it to you.
• Honest preparation advice. I'll tell you which improvements will return their cost before listing and which won't, based on renovations I've actually done.
• Negotiation with a clear head. Every offer presented with its real tradeoffs: price, terms, financing strength, and closing risk.

• The full picture on every property. Condition, pricing history, resale outlook, and what comparable homes actually closed for.
• Condo and HOA diligence. I review resale certificates, budgets, reserves, and special-assessment risk with you before you're committed. I'm not an attorney and don't give legal advice; when a document raises a legal question, I'll say so and refer you to a real estate attorney.
• Renovation reality checks. If a home needs work, I'll help you estimate what that work really costs before you offer.
• A straight recommendation. Including "don't buy this one," when that's what the analysis says.

Whether you're ready to move or just weighing options, reach out and tell me what you're thinking about. If I'm at capacity, I'll tell you that too.
