There is just something to be said about being born and raised in the same place you choose to raise your own family….that place for me is Tri-Cities, WA. I’m a lifelong fan and resident of the Tri-Cities and I truly believe there is no better place to raise a family. It has the appeal of a small town and the advantages of endless outdoor activities. There is nothing better than living on the Columbia river and being close enough to take a quick trip to the mountains. I have a background in the wine/customer service business that started by working for a local, award-winning winery for almost 8 years. I had the immense privilege of learning everything I could from some of the best in the wine industry. This led me to eventually take on event planning, management, restaurant expansion and marketing. As a self-labeled foodie, I then moved on to create Tap & Barrel with my husband in Richland, WA. We have had the privilege of serving Tri-Cities amazing food and craft beer & wine for the last five years. Through our business I have been able to connect with our community and have created amazing relationships. Being a small business owner requires you to wear many hats and that has given me a strong skillset to serves my real estate clients as well. My roots run deep in Tri-Cities and my commitment to this community is immense. Being a realtor allows me to combine the love of our area with the love of people who call it home. I consider it an honor to serve both. I not only have an appreciation for what a home means, I know what the seasons of life require of a home. Whether it is a first-time home buyer, a young family just starting to grow, or maybe it’s time to scale down and make more time to travel or play golf…I’m here to make it as hassle free and enjoyable as I can. I am truly excited to be able to find people a piece of Tri-Cities that they can call home. The recipe for a successful home transaction is tested and true, it is about relationships. It takes strong communication skills, negotiating, sincerity, and professionalism, all of which I bring to my clients. I am proud of the agents that I get to work alongside at Retter & Company SIR, and together we bring years of expertise to serve you. I have an incredible team of staff support behind me with the same goal to serve our clients well and take care of every detail as we go along. The company has been in business in Tri-Cities for nearly 30 years now and their marketing, community support, and dedication to the industry is remarkable. So it’s safe to say I’ve made my forever home in Tri-Cities both personally and professionally and I’m here to help my clients do the same!
