About by JoElla
I love shopping for real estate!!!
I’ve been hooked on real estate since I bought and sold my first house back in 1988. Today, several moves and 11 properties later, I still love it! Finally, after years of dreaming of getting my real estate license, the timing came together for me to do it. I quit my government job mid October, 2008 and began studying for my Washington State exam in November. I passed my exam, the first time, on January 15, 2009 and officially became a licensed Realtor®.
I believe that to succeed in today’s market, a Realtor needs experience, excellent customer service skills and a reliable network of support. I am blessed to have all three!
I have a strong background in the credit and financial industries. I’ve received extensive training by the Department of Veterans Affairs regarding veteran’s benefits which qualifies me to assist veterans with their VA Home Loan Eligibility. As a Certified Interior Refiner (redecorator), I can help buyers envision the possibilities of their new home, as well as help sellers prepare their home for the market. On top of that, my husband is a licensed, general contractor specializing in remodeling and repair.
