Uncategorized Why Five Acres Isn’t Always “Five Acres” A big parcel might look like wide-open potential, but local zoning and land-use laws can turn that dream into something much more limited. From shoreline buffers to agricultural zones, I’ve guided clients through restrictions that affect everything from building footprints to land use. These rules matter, and you want to know them before you make […]
Uncategorized Water Rights: The First Question, Not the Last On the Peninsula, water is never something you assume will be available. Every rural property needs to be checked for water rights, well access, or watershed regulations before moving forward. I’ve seen buyers devastated when they learned too late that drilling wasn’t possible or that they’d need to comply with strict metering rules. Those are […]
Uncategorized Local Means I’m Here Long After Closing I’m not just selling property—I’m raising a family, shopping at the same stores, and showing up at community events. That means when you buy with me, you get someone who will still be here years down the road. If questions come up, if you need a contractor referral, or if you’re curious about the market […]
Uncategorized Sequim’s Weather Advantage Sequim sits in one of the most unique microclimates in the Northwest. Thanks to the rain shadow effect, this town sees far less rain than most surrounding areas. That’s why it’s popular with gardeners, retirees, and anyone looking to enjoy the PNW without the nonstop drizzle. Clients are often amazed that a 20-minute drive can […]
Uncategorized What Listings Don’t Tell You Photos can be polished, but they can’t show you bluff erosion, roads that become rivers in winter, or neighborhoods where smoke lingers for weeks. Those are things I know because I live here. Elk crossings, septic challenges, fire zones—these details matter more than any glossy flyer. Working with a local agent means you’ll get the […]
Uncategorized Why Experience Here Matters I’ve worked with buyers who came to me after transactions unraveled because their previous agent didn’t have local expertise. In one case, a family didn’t learn until weeks into the process that their dream home sat squarely in a flood zone. That single oversight meant higher insurance costs, potential financing issues, and a tough decision […]
Uncategorized Roads Matter More Than You Think A property may look perfect on paper, but if the road floods every spring or becomes impassable in the snow, it’s not so perfect anymore. Because I drive these roads every day, I know where those challenges exist. That knowledge helps me guide buyers to properties that aren’t just appealing today, but livable all year […]
Uncategorized Retiring Here With Confidence Port Angeles and Sequim are favorites for retirees, and it’s easy to see why—quiet living, natural beauty, and strong community ties. But choosing the right retirement home takes careful thought. I talk with clients about more than views. We discuss proximity to healthcare, the need for single-level living, and whether being near town or out […]
