Just a 30 minute ferry ride from the hubbub of the city is the best-kept secret of the Pacific Northwest. We call it Kitsap County but in truth, it's Paradise! It's beautiful, quiet, rural and so close to nature you can see deer on your way to work! The rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains cuts our rainfall by 5-10" still leaving plenty of days to snuggle by the fire and read a good book. Everywhere you go you see water, mountains, vistas and trees. It's like living in a national park.

We have award winning schools, and communities designed for raising children. The recreational opportunities cover anything you can do on land or sea: boating of all kinds, beaches, hiking, golf, gardening. You'll be amazed at the shopping, pubs and restaurants, fabulous theaters and chorals, arts and crafts galleries available on the peninsula. And, of course, we are one short ferry ride from all of Seattle's splendor. Active retirement in Kitsap County is the best! You're close to everything, yet, far enough away to feel the magic of nature. Plus, we have the advantage of the commissary and hospital if you are a military retiree.

My entire 10 year real estate career has been in Poulsbo and Kitsap County. I know the market, I have a list of wonderful resource people, I'm at home! Let me help open the doors not only to your new home, but to all the people and pleasures of the Peninsula. You'll feel like your roots are down before you memorize your new zip code! Only 4 % of REALTORS have the experience and advance training necessary to be a Certified Residential Specialist and I am proud of my CRS designation because it helps me help you!

My background in interior design, marketing and advertising turns out to be the perfect foundation for a real estate career. I also have a master's degree in applied communication & there's no more "applied communication" arena than real estate. Whether you are buying or selling property, the process is one of constant communication & problem solving; talking, listening, following up. This is your process and my job is to hear you & help you! Give me a call today. I look forward to being your agent and your neighbor. I'd love to show you what Paradise looks like!
