LEGAL BACKGROUND

A local Seattleite for almost 25 years, Emily attended the University of Washington for her undergraduate degree and obtained her law degree at Seattle University. Emily has been an attorney for 12 years, so her understanding of the legal issues involved in a real estate transaction is exceptional. Emily has been legally trained to protect and advocate for her clients. She is a skilled negotiator and understands how to implement legal strategy to win.

INTERNATIONAL

The ability to speak Mandarin has been invaluable for Emily's business. She plays a significant role in Windermere's representation on the international level. She leads a team of brokers to Shanghai annually, to establish an international presence for Windermere and to facilitate real estate deals with international clients. Emily strives to build and maintain international business relationships that are both successful and mutually beneficial.

VACANT LAND

Emily has extensive knowledge and experience representing sellers and assemblages in vacant land transactions in Seattle and Shoreline. She also specializes in representing groups of sellers, or assemblages, in land sales. Her priority is to educate, inform, and ensure that land sellers are well-protected in their transactions with developers. As an attorney, she is comfortable working with the unconventional real estate contracts we often see in land transactions and she understands the legalities involved. She knows how to navigate an off-market land sale successfully and always has her sellers’ best interests at heart.

A mom of two children in the Seattle public school system, Emily is very active in the Seattle community. She founded a group called The Seattleite Mom several years ago, which now has a membership of 760 moms. This group has hosted many charity events and has helped local non-profits raise tens of thousands in donations for families in need. Emily's family is also very involved in the sports community here in Seattle. Her husband was a UW intercollegiate athlete and coaches many of their children's sports teams around North Seattle.
