Washington Real Estate Are Home Inspections Worth It? One of the questions that comes up pretty often when buying a home is whether a home inspection is worth it. My answer is always yes. When buyers walk through a home for the first time, most of the focus is naturally on the things you notice right away. The kitchen, the layout, whether the […]
Events in the Area Finally Checking Out the PenMet Rec Center The PenMet Parks Recreation Center has been open for almost a year now, and up until recently, I had only been there twice, once for a quick tour before it officially opened with my office, and another time to drop my daughter off at a birthday party. That was about it. My daughter had at […]
Things to See in Washingon A Sunny Day at Point Ruston This past weekend we made a trip over to Point Ruston and I’ll just say this, apparently everyone else had the exact same idea.

There are a lot of moving parts in any market. Interest rates shift, buyer demand comes and goes, new listings pop up, and sometimes it feels like even the weather […]
Events in the Area Spring Is Around the Corner… Time to Dust Off the Golf Clubs It’s starting to feel like spring is almost here, or at least I’m telling myself that as the sun shows up a little more often. Warmer weather, longer days… it’s that time of year where getting outside sounds like a pretty good idea. And for me, that usually means one thing: golf. Now, I wouldn’t […]

Washington Real Estate Rates Are Back Under 6% — Here’s Why That Matters There’s been a lot of conversation lately about mortgage rates, and for good reason.

Gig Harbor does a great job of holding onto its small-town charm, but it’s also fun to see new spots open their doors (and give us new excuses to eat out). […]
Washington Real Estate Looking Ahead to 2026 As we settle into a new year, I always like to pause and look ahead—not with a crystal ball, but with solid data and realistic expectations.

A calmer, more balanced market […]

Referrals are incredibly meaningful. They aren’t […]

Crazy Times Thanksgiving: Food, Family, and a Good Power Nap Everyone celebrates Thanksgiving a little differently.
