My Experience, Credentials, Track Record, and Awards
With more than 25 years of business
experience, I have learned that service that excels depends greatly on two
things: being a good listener and acting in accordance with what you hear.
Whether buying or selling, I welcome the opportunity to be of service to you.
Not only do you deserve to find the best
value in all of your real estate transactions, you also deserve high value in
your Realtor. This is why I have pursued education and training to receive the
designations of ABR (Accredited Buyers’ Representative), CRS (Certified
Residential Specialist), and GRI (Graduate, Realtor Institute). Currently, I
serve as a broker/manager for RE/MAX Northwest Realtorsâ, and as a
director for the local Realtor®ß Association. Please, put my
experience and knowledge to work for you when you decide to buy or sell
property in the Puget Sound area.

Self Employed >Moving And Taxes
Even with the changes in tax laws over recent years, you may be able to deduct some of the expenses of a move that is the result of a change in your job.
You will probably be able to deduct the costs of your move if your new work location means more than an additional 50-mile commute, if you move within a year of taking the job at the new location, and if you work full-time for at least 39 weeks (the total is 78 weeks if you are self-employed). You should keep meticulous records of all of your expenses and consult a tax expert to make sure that you take all the lawful tax deductions allowed by the IRS criteria for expenses related to selling your old home or buying your new one. The IRS publication No. 521 entitled "Tax Information on Moving Expenses" makes good reading before you make a move.
