About

Thank you for considering me to sell your home. I believe I'm the ideal realtor to represent you in this important transaction. Let me explain why:

As a lifelong Humboldt County resident, I bring an unparalleled understanding of our local market. I've lived in various towns throughout Humboldt and Trinity Counties, giving me intimate knowledge of each area's unique characteristics and appeal.

My diverse professional background, current activities, and professional designations set me apart from other realtors:

• Professional Designations: I've earned both the Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR) and Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA) designations. These certifications demonstrate my expertise in representing buyers effectively and developing accurate, market-based pricing strategies.
• Up-to-Date Knowledge: I'm an active member of the Humboldt Association of Realtors Government Relations Committee. We meet monthly to discuss upcoming law changes affecting Humboldt County landowner property rights and regulations. This ensures I'm always at the forefront of local real estate legislation, providing you with the most current and relevant advice.
• Technical Expertise: With two decades in civil engineering, surveying, and planning, I understand property development from the ground up. I still actively work in land surveying, providing current insights into property boundaries and land use issues.
• Problem-Solving Skills: I assist clients with abatement removal, helping them overcome obstacles to selling their property. This hands-on approach demonstrates my commitment to seeing a sale through, no matter the challenges.
• Appraisal Experience: My time at the County Assessor's Office gives me an insider's perspective on property valuation, ensuring we price your home competitively. This experience, combined with my PSA designation, allows me to develop highly accurate pricing strategies.
• Artistic Vision: As an artist running my own studio, I have a keen eye for presentation, which is crucial for staging your home effectively.
• Attention to Detail: My background in computer-aided drafting and engineering has honed my precision skills. No aspect of your sale will be overlooked.
• Community Connections: I'm deeply involved in our community, regularly volunteering at the Fortuna Veterans Hall for fundraising events. This involvement, along with my past role as a coach and board member for Humboldt Fastpitch, has built strong local ties, expanding the network of potential buyers for your home.

In just three years as a realtor, I've successfully sold 17 properties, including three commercial sales. This demonstrates my ability to adapt my skills to various property types and client needs.
