Proud to be recognized as Top Producer in the great DC area realtor’s associations and Washingtonian Magazine; Best Real Estate Agent by Northern Virginia Magazine. Many people have asked me: Why did you become a realtor? My answer is simple: Because I loved seeing houses and more importantly, I wanted to become the realtor that I wished to have when I was a first time home buyer. It was a stressful experience and I wish others do not have to experience. It’s a rather, I wish people can enjoy this life-changing event. To reach that goal, I established a system which to help home buyers find their ideal home faster, and a home that they know every aspect of before buying it—not just price and location, not just shape and age, but also quality of the construction, potential, many other facts such as future resale value. My education and work experience in accounting and finance allow me better help my clients understand their financial position and needs. I am dedicated to providing exceptional, personalized service for all of my clients and always work relentlessly on my client’s behalf to help them achieve their real estate goals and I'd like to be their life-time realtor. My international background not only helps me better understand and communicate with people from different backgrounds who are involved in the transaction, but also allows me to market properties to international buyers or help my buyers to identify a property that is not on the market through my network.Buyers and sellers alike need a trusted resource to guide them through the complex world of real estate. With my extensive knowledge—not only homes, but also construction, market trends, zoning codes, city plans and real estate investment to providing only the best and most timely information to my clients, I am your go-to source for real estate industry insight and advice. I look forward to serving you.I also hold degrees in Chinese Herbal Medicine and in International Accounting & Financing. I have been living in Northern Virginia for many years with my husband since we moved back from Japan. We have two children. When I am not working, I enjoy gardening, having coffee or tea with my friends, reading about real estate and volunteering for schools and the community. I speak native Chinese Mandarin and fluent English and Japanese.
