REALTOR®

As a REALTOR® with Windermere Real Estate/South Sound, Inc., I bring professional real estate expertise to every AFH transaction. From property valuation to closing, I work diligently to support your interests throughout the transaction.

Certified AFH Administrator

I’m not just a real estate agent—I’m a Certified AFH Administrator and AFH Real Estate Specialist. I understand DSHS regulations, licensing requirements, and property characteristics that may influence AFH suitability. This regulatory knowledge helps inform my real-estate-focused evaluation of AFH-related opportunities; all licensing and compliance decisions must be made independently and verified with the appropriate professionals.

Multilingual Services

I serve the Greater Seattle–Tacoma & Eastside AFH community in four languages: English, Romanian, Russian, and Ukrainian. Let’s discuss your goals in the language you’re most comfortable with.

AFH-Specific Real Estate Focus

I specialize in Adult Family Home real estate, including licensed AFHs, CHOW opportunities, and AFH-suitable or AFH-potential properties. My guidance is informed by regulatory context, property characteristics, and CHOW-related processes across Washington State, with a primary service focus in King, Pierce, Snohomish, Kitsap, and Thurston Counties.

How AFHMarketplace.com Supports AFH Clients

AFHMarketplace.com is a Washington-focused platform dedicated to Adult Family Home real estate. In one place, you can explore licensed AFH businesses, CHOW opportunities, AFH-suitable and AFH-potential properties for sale or rent, along with education, AFH Alerts, and AFH-focused resources. Whether you're an AFH buyer, seller, renter, landlord, or investor, the goal is the same: help you see AFH-related opportunities more clearly and connect you with real-estate-focused guidance from an AFH Real Estate Specialist, Certified AFH Administrator, and REALTOR®. As a Certified AFH Administrator, AFH Real Estate Specialist, and REALTOR®, I help you evaluate the real-estate characteristics that influence interest from qualified tenants — always within the boundaries of real-estate guidance only, never financial or operational consulting. Any operational or compliance information is provided solely by the seller. I do not provide AFH operational guidance, compliance evaluation, or licensing consulting.
