About Amber

Twenty years in
this market.
All of it matters.

"My role is to make sure each decision is informed, intentional, and moves you toward the right outcome."

As a Seattle native, I've spent my career working the neighborhoods I grew up in. I bring a nuanced understanding of housing stock, market dynamics, and lifestyle considerations that only comes with deep roots in this specific market.

My approach is direct: understand what matters most to you, build a plan around it, and execute with precision. For sellers, that means thoughtful preparation and positioning that attracts the right buyers. For buyers, it means clear-eyed strategy at every step. The decisions are always yours — my job is to make sure you have everything you need to make them well.

How I Work

A tailored plan
every time.

No two homes, sellers, or buyers are alike. I build strategy around your goals, timeline, and the realities of the current market — not a one-size-fits-all playbook.

— 01
Pre-Listing Prep

The work before the market is what shapes how the market responds. This is where I'm most hands-on — guiding what to do, what to skip, and how to get it done well.

— 02
Selling Your Home

It's not about doing more — it's about doing the right things, in the right order, to create real demand. Together, we focus on what will move buyers — and leave the rest behind.

— 03
Buying a Home

Winning isn't about reacting — it's knowing when to push, when to hold, and how to structure a deal that lands. You'll have a clear strategy at every step — and the confidence to act on it.

— 04
Luxury Properties

At this level, presentation and exposure aren't enough — positioning is what determines how a property is received. Every decision is made with intention — so your home shows up exactly where it should.

If you're ready to make a move, I'd be glad to help you think it through.

She found me the perfect home and I bid on it sight unseen as a testament to my trust in her. I could not be happier with the house, her professionalism, and her ability to facilitate the process from two different cities.

Why Windermere

The region's most
trusted name.
For good reason.

When you list with a Windermere broker, other agents in the region take notice. Windermere's reputation for market-ready, accurately priced, professionally represented listings means competing brokers bring their strongest offers — because they know a Windermere transaction will close.

And through Windermere Ready, many pre-listing costs can be fronted upfront — meaning you can prepare your home properly without cash out of pocket before you sell.
