I grew up in Hamilton Montana, where my dad co-owned a real estate brokerage. In 1986 our family moved to Moses Lake where I met my husband Rolly. In 1990 we moved to western Washington where I managed in the retail industry. I spent many years in retail negotiating with national manufacturers, which is a skill that is a must in real estate. Rolly & I moved back to Moses Lake in 2001 and studied to become real estate appraisers. We currently own Accredited Appraisal Services and are certified for both residential & commercial property appraisals. As I became more involved in real estate through the appraisal perspective, I realized representing buyers and sellers was really my passion. I've served on the Board of Directors for Habitat for Humanity and have also been involved in the Grant County Economic Development Council as a board member, president and past president which included serving on the Executive Committee for 4 years and the Long Range Planning Committee. I have served on the Board of Directors and served as the RPAC Represenative for the Moses Lake / Othello Association of Realtor's. I was honored to receive the Realtor Community Service Award in 2012 and Realtor achievement award in 2016. Giving back to my community is so important to me. I am excited for what the future holds in Moses Lake & cant wait to be a part of that progress.
My husband Rolly & I have been married since 1990. Our son Matthew is an appraiser in our Appraisal office and is married to Kacie. They've blessed us with 3 beautiful grandchildren, Kamden, Blake Elizabeth and Greyson. Our daughter Grace lives and works in Manhattan, NY. We are incredibly Blessed.
My Background
I have spent most of my adult life in Eastern and Central Washington and I am proud to call Moses Lake my home. When I was growing up and starting to develop interests, I found myself spending a good amount of time idolizing my father, a successful businessman in the retail world. I used to tag along at work meetings with him and walk these massive stores to see what he did and how he did it. I knew very early on I would follow in his footsteps and head into the business world. I love working with people, so I knew this was a good start in the right direction.
My Education
I graduated with my B.A. in Business Management from Eastern Washington University. While attending school, I started working at the apartment community I was living at and quickly fell in love with managing and marketing homes. I moved up the ranks from a leasing agent to a property manager and enjoyed this for a few years. I always loved the advertising and analytical side of property management, so I decided to switch my focus to that. I worked for a company called CoStar and did online apartment marketing for all of Central WA. I was able to assist clients in filling their homes/apartments by analyzing market vacancy and traffic trends. I am confident the skills I’ve acquired over the years will make me a great asset in assisting you with your buying or selling needs!
My Family
I have been blessed with an amazing husband, a 6-year-old bonus son, Isaiah, 3 nieces, and 2 nephews. I also have 2 very large German shepherd pups that think they are still puppy size. This group keeps me busy for sure but they are all the light in my life.
Real Estate Goals
I am the girl you have seen YouTubing how to build a custom bar. I have remodeled my entire home and personally done the architectural plans for a gable patio add-on. I have managed a 129 unit lease-up of apartment homes. I know what goes into the making and selling of a home. In today’s world of do-it-yourself-ers, I can see your vision and help you brainstorm how to get there. I want to help you achieve your dream home, let’s make it happen!
