A Windermere real estate agent in Seattle and Kirkland. I work as a team with my wife, Effie Wenke, also a licensed broker. I build the strategy. Effie, a textbook Capricorn, keeps everyone grounded.

Nobody's ever just buying or selling a house. They're after what comes with it: more room for a growing family, a shorter commute, money for the next chapter, or a clean break from a place they've outgrown. I start there and work backward to the details: when to buy or list, how to price, what's worth fixing, and where to hold firm. And if the smartest move is to wait, I'll say so.

First home, longtime home, or whatever comes after that, you'll get a real plan, a few spreadsheets, and zero pressure.

Our first conversation will be mostly questions. I promise they're good ones.
