Everett & Snohomish County, WA
Your family is ready
for more space.
Let's make it happen.
Selling and buying at the same time feels impossible — most families don't know where to start or what to do first. It doesn't have to be that way.
“When friends said it might take 30 tries, James got it done in 4.”

“He makes you feel like family.”
“We attempted to sell multiple times with other realtors. James made it smooth.”
“Professional and fun is a rare find. Truly an awesome experience.”
“He somehow takes some of the stress of moving and carries it for you.”
“James found my son a rental in one day.”
“He goes above and beyond to protect their interests.”
“He's been there at the drop of a hat every time.”
“My expectations were far exceeded.”
“An authentically all around good man with a sincere heart.”
“Relentless at finding my new home.”
“We closed on our house and owe a great thanks to James.”
“He gives off the aura of a friend.”

The Differentiator
The Smooth Move-Up Method™
A 12-step process built specifically for growing families who need to sell their current home and buy the next one — at the same time, without financial risk or chaos.
I built this because I watched families get the timing wrong, carry two mortgages, and make decisions under pressure they never should have been in. Since 2016, I've been focused on making sure that doesn't happen to you.

Every agent has data.
I pick up the phone.
When it matters most, you want someone who actually shows up — not an automated system sending updates while you figure it out alone.
Read my full storyPersonal, not transactional
Most agents send automated updates and disappear. I know your name, your kids, and why you're moving. That changes everything about how I work for you.
Local knowledge that counts
I don't Google your neighborhood. I live here.
Sell and buy at the same time
Most agents do one or the other. I coordinate both — so your sale and your purchase close together, not months apart.
No pressure. Ever.
I'm a Managing Broker. I don't need to rush your decision to hit a quota. I give you the information, the strategy, and the time to make the right call for your family.
Sold a farm that 3 other agents couldn't move
“We attempted to sell this farm multiple times with different realtors and were never successful. When James took over it was smooth and we had multiple buyers. I strongly recommend James for your realtor needs.”
Bought multiple condos over 3 years — always professional, always there
“James has always been there at the drop of a hat when I've had questions or concerns. He remains professional, confident, and communicative throughout the entire process.”
Found her home — relentless search, zero frustration
“James was wonderful to work with. He was relentless at finding my new home, and always made certain I didn't get frustrated with the process.”
Bought her home — and their families have stayed close ever since
“From start to finish James was very professional, friendly, and extremely helpful. Since purchasing my home more than 2 years ago our families have remained close and I wouldn't have it any other way.”
Sold and bought — updated every single day
“James kept us fully informed as to what was going on with the house we were selling and updated us daily. He will fight to get the best possible terms for you and that's exactly what he did.”
New construction purchase — zero pressure throughout
“James deeply cares about his clients and is willing to go above and beyond to protect their interests. He's very attentive, knowledgeable and flexible. I highly recommend him without hesitation.”
This is exactly what The Smooth Move-Up Method™ is designed for. We sequence your sale and purchase so the timings align — using contingency strategies, bridge options, and coordinated closings that protect you from the double-mortgage trap. Most families I work with never hold two mortgages simultaneously.
Fewer than you think. I'll walk through your home and give you an honest list of what will actually affect your sale price versus what's unnecessary spending. The goal is maximum return for minimum investment — not a full renovation.
That depends on your situation and the market, but I'll give you a realistic timeline upfront — not a number designed to just get you signed. Speed matters less than doing it right, and doing it right is what protects your family throughout.
Before we look at a single property, I spend time understanding what your family actually needs: school districts, commute, space, neighborhood feel. I don't send you Zillow links. I bring you options I've personally evaluated against your criteria.
I walk every client through a complete cost breakdown before we make any moves. No financial surprises is a core promise of The Smooth Move-Up Method™. You'll know exactly what you're spending and why before you sign anything.
Yes, and it's some of the most rewarding work I do. First-time upsizers often have the most questions and the most anxiety — which is exactly why having an experienced Managing Broker in your corner matters. I've guided many families through their first upgrade and I take the responsibility seriously.
My primary market is Everett and Snohomish County broadly — including Mukilteo, Marysville, Monroe, Lynnwood, and surrounding areas. If you're relocating to or from this region, I can help.
