My real estate motto is Love Where You Live, and I do! I’ve lived in Bellingham since 1996, and I love exploring all the city’s wonderful neighborhoods. I promise to be honest, helpful and thorough. My skills as a reporter, writer and editor -- I spent 20 years as a journalist before becoming a Real Estate Broker! -- honed my listening and researching skills. Every house has a “story,” and I love finding and sharing it with my clients. I have come to love this town -- for its natural beauty, its unique neighborhoods, and its care of the environment. I do my best to live lightly -- recycling, composting and hosting a colony of mason bees in my back yard. I also have personally participated in Sustainable Connections’ Community Energy Challenge -- making my own home more energy efficient and cutting my utility bills in half. I’m always happy to share this information, and help clients learn how they, too, can conserve energy and expenses!
