What should buyers know about choosing between Spokane, Liberty Lake, and Coeur d’Alene?

Each offers a different lifestyle and commute. Spokane provides more urban amenities and established neighborhoods, Liberty Lake combines newer development with outdoor recreation, while Coeur d’Alene attracts buyers drawn to lake living, recreation, and a resort-oriented feel.

What makes Kendall Yards a good fit for buyers who want walkable living?

Kendall Yards appeals to buyers who want restaurants, shops, parks, and the Spokane River close to home without giving up easy access to downtown. Real Estate Done Right helps buyers compare the neighborhood's urban feel with areas such as South Hill, Rockwood, and River District.

Are waterfront properties around Coeur d’Alene a good investment?

Waterfront property can offer strong lifestyle appeal and long-term desirability, but factors such as shoreline access, maintenance, insurance, rental rules, and location can vary significantly from one property to another. Real Estate Done Right helps buyers evaluate the full picture rather than focusing solely on the waterfront setting.

Which Spokane neighborhoods are popular with buyers looking for more space?

Five Mile Prairie and Indian Trail offer larger residential settings with a suburban feel, while South Hill and Rockwood provide more established neighborhoods and varied home styles. The right choice depends on commute, lot size, schools, amenities, and how much privacy a buyer wants.

What should sellers know before listing a luxury or waterfront property?

Luxury and waterfront buyers pay close attention to condition, views, outdoor spaces, privacy, access, and the property's overall setting. Real Estate Done Right helps sellers determine which features deserve emphasis and how the home should be presented to reach the right buyers.

How can someone relocating to the Spokane or Coeur d’Alene area narrow down the right community?

A virtual search can show homes, but understanding how communities actually feel day to day is just as important. Real Estate Done Right helps relocating clients compare commute patterns, recreation, shopping, neighborhood character, and housing options across areas such as Spokane, Liberty Lake, and Coeur d’Alene.

A little bit about me

Teaching and training is my passion - “knowledge is power”. Whether you are looking to buy your first home, your first investment property or sell your dream home, I will help you understand the current intricacies of the market with a data first approach. With 15 years experience in data management and over 200 real estate transactions my passion for this business shows up in all areas of my work.

Developing relationships through the home buying and selling process is a unique experience that lasts far longer than one transaction. When you are making one of the largest financial decisions of your life, you need a trusted resource on your team every time. Providing the help you need with integrity and professionalism is my job. Building a relationship with my clients is my passion. This is why 77% of my business comes from repeat clients and their referrals.

As a full-time agent, my priority is making the buying and selling process as easy and comfortable for my clients as possible. Transacting real estate often is a stressful process no matter the outcome. My job is to ensure you are not overwhelmed. A few ways I am able to achieve this goal is with constant communication, understanding, patience and consideration to your specific desires and budget. My job has not been completed unless we get you to the closing table.
