Tumwater · Olympia · Olympic Peninsula

Your Home on the Peninsula
Deserves More Than a Listing.

I represent buyers and sellers who want an agent who knows every cul-de-sac off Deschutes, every school boundary, and every market shift — so your next move is a decision, not a gamble.

About

Built on the Peninsula.
Not the MLS.

I grew up here — walked these streets, watched this market change, and learned early that a house isn't just a transaction. It's the backdrop for your family's next chapter.

That's why I don't treat real estate like a volume business. I take on a limited number of clients each year so every buyer gets the same attention I'd give my own family, and every seller gets a strategy that actually moves the needle.

Whether you're crossing the street to a new neighborhood or crossing the state line, I'll tell you what I think — even when it's not what you want to hear.

What I Do Differently

Every engagement starts with a conversation — not a contract. Tell me where you are, and I'll show you what makes sense.

Seller Representation

Pricing that attracts real buyers, not just clicks. Staging guidance that highlights what your home does best. Marketing that reaches serious buyers before the competition even knows it's listed.

  • Comparative market analysis with hyperlocal comps
  • Professional photography & virtual tour coordination
  • Strategic pricing based on days-on-market data
  • Negotiation focused on net-to-you, not gross price

Buyer Advocacy

I don't show you what's available — I find what's right. Off-market opportunities, pre-listing access, and an eye for potential that most buyers miss on their first pass.

  • Pre-approval guidance & lender introductions
  • Neighborhood deep-dives: schools, floods, futures
  • Off-market & pocket listing access
  • Inspection review & repair negotiation

Relocation & Consultation

Moving to the Peninsula? I'll help you understand the communities, the commute patterns, the flood zones, and the growth corridors so you land where you actually want to live.

  • Area orientation & community matching
  • Commute & amenity analysis
  • Temporary housing coordination
  • Post-move check-in — I don't disappear at closing

Client Words

What People Say

Tony didn't just sell our house — he explained every offer, every counter, and every decision point like we were sitting at our kitchen table. We never felt rushed, and we got $18,000 over asking.

Home Seller · Tumwater

We were relocating from Seattle and had no idea where to start. Tony sent us neighborhood profiles before we even looked at a single house. We knew exactly what we were getting into — and we loved it.

First-Time Buyer · Olympia

I've worked with three agents over the years. Tony is the only one who called me back on a Saturday when I had a last-minute inspection concern. That's the kind of agent you keep.
