About
With over 26 years of experience serving Pierce County and the surrounding areas, I have helped hundreds of buyers, sellers, investors, and families successfully navigate every type of real estate situation imaginable. From first-time homebuyers to luxury properties, probate and estate sales, divorce, foreclosure prevention, short sales, seniors transitioning to their next chapter, investment properties, and challenging transactions, I have been there and know how to find solutions.

My business has been built almost entirely through referrals because I believe in treating every client with honesty, compassion, and respect. I understand that every home has a story, and every client deserves someone who truly listens, communicates, and advocates for their best interests. No matter how simple or complex your situation may be, I am committed to helping you find the best path forward. My goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible while delivering exceptional results.

I was ready to walk away from my home through a divorce. Little did i know i would have walked away from 160k. Barbs expertise guided me and im thankful for her. She has a huge heart and truly cares about people.

We were losing our home. Ready to go to auction in 3
weeks and Barb sold it and closed it for us. When she came to us we were broken. Her smile and positivity always was pure. For anyone in a bad situation she is your gal.

I refer everyone i know to Barb. I own a large restaurant here in the area and sending a referral i’m always cautious. She gets the job done. She is honest and hard working.
