Service. Experience. Commitment. Results.

My Story

When you’re working hard to build something, it can be easy to lose sight of the other important parts of your life. It happened to me. I was committed to growing my business, but I learned that it was important to balance that with the other “Big Whys” in my life. There comes a time, after returning home exhausted, drained, and mentally reciting a to-do list, you need to take a step back and reassess the important things in life. Sometimes, the most difficult aspect can be admitting that. I’m a Spokane native, but I ventured out to see the world right after high school. I studied abroad in England and worked in Switzerland. I paid my own way with the money I’d made waiting tables. It gave me a taste for what it was like to interact with people from different walks of life, and I knew that whatever career I chose, I wanted that to be a key aspect. That was why I first got into property management. Along with my exciting new job, I then got married and had my daughter. (She’s now 15 and attending Gonzaga Prep playing Softball; It’s amazing how time flies!)

Property management I enjoyed but I wanted the excitement of helping someone step into their new home, making this an investment to grow into an even bigger real estate investment. I got my real estate license in 2009 and started my team, The Summit Group, by 2013. It was incredibly successful, and I was thrilled. I was also under a lot of pressure. There didn’t seem to be enough hours in the day. I was coaching other REALTORS, acting as CEO of Summit Group, and making top sales in both the group and Spokane. I was eating in the car between appointments, and my phone never stopped ringing. Now, anyone that knows me knows I love to talk about people's “Big Why.” Between house showings and business meetings in my 60-hour work week, I came to realize that I’d lost sight of my own “Big Why” But I loved my clients, my team, and my business. I didn’t want any of them to fall by the wayside. How could I ensure everything ran smoothly without working myself into the ground?

I took a step back and re-evaluated how we did business. I have coached 24 agents in the Spokane area. Some of these agents have become top agents and have become my great friends. I love to help! However, coaching was not allowing me to have the hours I needed in the day to keep me balanced. I also decided to focus less on lead generation and more on the clients we already had. When I did that, the referrals came pouring in! I carved out time in my busy schedule to rest. I hired a new real estate coach and personal fitness trainer; I was excited about the new path I was on. Between my faith and rebuilding my foundation, I was well-rested, reinvigorated, and extremely focused. I had the time for things that were important to me: my faith, family, health, travel, enjoying outdoor activities, and, as always, my business. It was just a matter of finding the right balance. I want results, and with results, I know my clients are getting the best customer service. Selling over 600 homes in Spokane and the surrounding area, there’s nothing I haven't seen. And there’s no such thing as a dumb question.

I’m happy to say that 2021 and 2022 have been and are going to continue to be wonderful years. I have a full team with many years of real estate experience to make sure that you, my clients, get beyond the best real estate service. I look forward to that next experience being one I share with you! I absolutely love what I do, and I love talking real estate. I look at your home as your retirement and as your investment. I'm competitive and will put more money in your pocket than any other agent. This is your asset, and I will show you how I can make it worth your time. We’re in a seller's market, and you need someone with experience. As your friend and realtor, please do not hesitate to call me. I hope you know how much you mean to me. If you are relocating, let me know! I’ll find an agent in that area. If you need a market analyst on your home or investment property or a list of great contractors in the area, I’ve got you covered. I had a client call my office the other day, asking for a market analysis. We got to talking, and I learned that, within two years, they were had a kid and another on the way! Some other clients and friends’ family called me, and they are looking to downsize so they can go travel. I love hearing your stories! Call me anytime.
