I live in Shelter Bay and have worked in real estate for more than 35 years. I have sold more than 350 homes in Shelter Bay, where buying and selling can involve questions about the Swinomish tribal lease, financing, and community rules.

When I work with a seller, I start by looking at the home and recent sales to help determine a listing price. We talk about which repairs or improvements make sense before the home goes on the market. My background as a general contractor helps me identify items that may come up during a buyer’s inspection, including concerns with a home’s condition, shoreline, or dock.

I also help sellers understand the steps involved in a Shelter Bay sale. I’m familiar with the lease assignment process and work with lenders who have experience making loans on tribal leased land. From preparing the listing and showing the home through reviewing offers, inspections, and closing, I stay involved and keep you informed.

My wife, Mo, is also a real estate broker. We live in the community we serve, and we’re available to talk if you’re considering selling your Shelter Bay home.
