Doris’
real estate experience is unique. Her beginnings lie with the Hawaii
market during the late 80’s where large infusions of foreign
capital sent the market skyrocketing. She worked with both local
Clientele and foreign investors and successfully navigated the intricacies
of cultural differences to become a highly respected professional
in a dynamic community where there were markets within markets.
It was through this dynamic marketplace
that Doris’ experience grew. Relocating
to the Northwest in 95' Doris adapted quickly to the dynamics
of the Seattle area and has since defined her market in Seattle
and King County's East Side. Over the years she
has developed an in-depth skill-set and has coupled this with
a strong work ethic to truly set herself apart. Her experience has taught her
to be intuitive, to communicate openly, to negotiate effectively,
and to market with defined targets utilizing all possible channels.
Above all else, Doris addresses
her Client’s needs first. Professionals in their respective
fields of photography, web design, graphic design, and layout
are a small part of the attention to detail that makes Doris’
presentation and marketing of your property a step above.
Here is a sample of what her past
Client’s have had to say about Doris’ service:
"I was amazed at her attention
to detail. She knew the difficulties that would come my way and
gave me a 'heads up' before the situation arose... she
prepared me before it happened…something only an experienced
professional could do."
C.S.
"
Her market knowledge proved invaluable!
We wanted to buy in an area that had little or no inventory. Doris
was able to find someone that was considering selling... and got
us into the house before it actually went on the market. This
house is now our home!"
W.M
"...in the course of transacting
five home purchases and four home sales in the last nine years,
due to company relocations, we have worked with a number of real
estate agents. The service and attention that we received from
Doris was remarkable!"
B.B.
"It was a pleasure working with
Doris from beginning to end and we’ll be calling Doris again…
thank you for such a positive experience!"
L.B.
