Welcome to Beautiful Orcas Island!
You have arrived at the magical destination that captured my heart nearly two decades ago. Upon my first visit, I was sold and my family and I have had the honor of making beautiful Orcas Island home now for 19 years. We moved here, my husband and I, along with our two toddler children from the greater Los Angeles area seeking a wholesome, beautiful and natural environment in which to raise our family; and that's exactly what we did. Our children are now adults. Our daughter has completed graduate school and moved on in her career and our son is a junior in college and on the college golf team. They greatly benefitted from receiving their entire elementary, middle and high school educations in the islands along with the love and nurturing of this idyllic and exceptional community. We found everything we were looking for and so much more. Let's talk! I have first hand knowledge and experience in getting the very most out of living in the islands as an adult, as well as a parent of school aged children. From entertainment to services,the arts, travel and island logistics, restaurants, school choices, music, theatre, dance, sports, social and volunteer clubs and so many other activities for grown ups and children alike. I have much to share above and beyond my expertise in buying and selling in the Orcas Island real esate market. My knowledge of the real estate market, the intricacies of negotiation and art of the deal, no matter how complex, that is my greatest assett that I offer you and that is where my background as an attorney and consulting real estate attorney from my years in California, will give you an edge. I have represented numerous extremely satisfied Buyers and Sellers, always going above and beyond to do my very best in representing my client and my clients interests.
