More About Me

What all those ‘letters’ after my name mean, & why they're important to you.

    • Letters after my name indicate a high level of education, professionalism, and commitment.




    • MB stands for Managing Broker. Requirements for earning this designation include at least 3 years of experience as a real estate sales person and broker, 90 additional hours of approved real estate course work, and passing an examination. With 35 years of experience and two advanced degrees, I have met or exceeded all of those requirements. Brokers without the Managing Broker designation need no real estate experience, only 120 hours of approved real estate course work (which can be taken over the internet), and they have to pass a test. This is less than what is required for your local barber!




    • JD stands for Juris Doctorate. It means that in addition to my 4-year college degree, I have a Juris Doctorate degree (from Vanderbilt School of Law). I am also licensed in Washington as an attorney. To you, this means I have a thorough understanding of legal documents and will be able to help you navigate the legal terminology and to explain the meaning of each document.




    • IMS, stands for Internet Marketing Specialist, a recognized designation that I have been trained to utilize emerging technologies to better accomplish your goals.




    • SRES, Seniors Real Estate Specialist designation, means that I have successfully completed the course material, and examination, created by the Seniors Real Estate Specialist Council to address the needs and options available to those of us age 55 and above.




    • Relocation Specialist designation means that I'm trained to assist clients successfully evaluate, purchase their homes & settle into their new communities.
