I was born and grew up in Washington. I graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Soon after graduating I chose to pursue real estate. It happened fairly spontaneously, when I started looking for my own house. I spent days looking at various houses, and in the result fell in love with the idea that this can be my day job. Up to this day I spend most of my days previewing properties.

My objective is to build a long-term relationship with my clients like you. I will never pressure you to buy a house, and if I think that you're looking at wrong properties I'll tell you what I think. My goal is not to spend as little time as possible searching for a house, but to help you find the best house your money can buy.

I've worked with a wide variety of buyers, and sellers. I'm happy to work with you no matter whether you're a first time buyer, or it's your 10th house. I've also worked closely with a number of buyers who are just moving to the area and are still learning about the city. No matter what your needs are, I'll be able to help!

1. Hi Earnest. I want to thank you for all your help yesterday. We really believe that you went to bat for us - you asked good questions, got us a lower purchase price and even secured a 1 year warranty on the appliances. Thanks to your diligence we ended up with everything we wanted and more. We are very pleased.
2. Dear Earnest. Thank you for being "right on target" with the homes you showed us. When we met you at your open house, we were impressed with your professionalism and knowledge of the market. After giving you a list of what we were looking for in a house, you selected several homes for us to see, and every home you showed us turned out to be "just what we wanted" in style and location. Many thanks.
3. Hi Earnest. Thanks for taking me through nearly 40 houses. While I realize that I must be one of the toughest customers to have, I really appreciate the fact that you were willing to show me so many houses without losing any of your passion, and that at the same time you constantly accommodated my schedule. I also appreciate all the data that you provided about the houses that we looked at. I've always been number oriented, and having all this information allowed me to make a great investment.
