Your home is most likely the largest investment you will ever make. Most people buy and sell no more than six homes in their lifetime. As a full-time, full service, residential real estate specialist, I have the time, resources and personal commitment to devote to protecting your interests. I stay on top of the market and trends and ahead of the curve in technology, marketing innovations and real estate practice. You receive expert real estate care with professionalism and integrity in every interaction and each transaction.

There are many marketing options, legalities and details that go into the purchase or sale of a home, therefore, I partner with my husband, Rick De Barros, Associate Broker, licensed since 1989. Along with his many years of real estate experience, as the owner of Bainbridge Island Classic Homes, he provides architectural design and general contracting expertise to every transaction. My 30 years of corporate experience in advertising/marketing, negotiation and regulatory compliance and a BS in Business add another diminsion. Together, we provide you a marketing and purchasing advantage using our unique set of skills, expertise, and experience.

You can rest assured that every detail is handled correctly and every deadline is met because I enjoy managing information and paperwork, communicating to all the parties involved in the transaction. Keeping you informed, anticipating your concerns and questions is what I do best. Beyond helping you buy or sell your home, Rick and I strive to be a valuable and trusted resource for you. Rick and I provide you the due diligence, drive, and attention to detail we give to our own personal transactions. You can depend on us for honesty, real estate knowledge, confidentiality, representation and negotiation. As an Accredited Staging Professional, I know how to market your home for its highest selling price in the shortest amount of time. I serve as your Buyer's or Seller's Agent and represent only you, as your personal advocate and consultant, always placing your needs and best interests foremost.
