About Tess
Rooted in the Pacific Northwest, I’ve always valued the strong sense of community, connection, and home that makes this region so special. Those values naturally led me to a career in real estate, where building relationships and helping people through important life transitions is at the heart of everything I do.
Before entering real estate, I worked for Holiday Retirement managing the Resident Enrichment Department for more than 300 communities across the United States. In that role, I traveled extensively, developed programs and events, and trained teams to ensure consistency, communication, and compliance company wide. That experience strengthened the skills that serve my real estate clients every day: clear communication, organization, problem-solving, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for helping people.
Real estate is far more than a transaction to me. It’s about trust, guidance, and creating a positive experience during one of life’s biggest decisions. I’m known for being highly responsive and available beyond traditional business hours because I believe exceptional service means being there when clients need support, answers, or reassurance most.
I especially enjoy working with first-time home buyers. Buying a home can feel overwhelming, and I take pride in making the process approachable by explaining each step clearly and helping clients feel informed and confident from start to finish.
For sellers, I provide a comprehensive marketing strategy designed to showcase each home at the highest level. My services include professional photography, strategic open houses, and immersive 3D digital twin technology that allows buyers to virtually explore a property online from anywhere.
My goal is simple: to provide top-tier customer service while helping clients achieve their real estate goals with confidence and care. Whether buying, selling, or both, I look forward to the opportunity to earn your trust and welcome you home.
