Hey there—I'm Shelley!
Born and raised in Alaska, I spent years exploring the country as a flight attendant before landing in the Pacific Northwest in 2009. The outdoor lifestyle, trees, waters, and small-town charm of Lake Tapps instantly felt like home; it reminded me of Alaska, but with better coffee and fewer layers to stay warm.
These days, I live in the lake community of Lake Tapps with my daughter and our Havanese, Patches. I’m proud to serve Lake Tapps, Pierce County, and South King County as a Realtor with a passion for helping people really feel at home, whether you’re buying your first place, upsizing, downsizing, or investing in something new.
With a background in recruiting and high-end furniture sales and interior design, I’ve always thrived in client-focused roles where trust, communication, and results matter. I’m a fierce advocate for my clients; I’ll negotiate like it’s my own money and home on the line, I’ll call out red flags you might not see, and I’ll do it all with a little humor (when needed), a lot of heart, and absolutely zero judgment. Your goals are mine, and I take that seriously.
Real estate doesn’t have to be overwhelming, but at times it can be. I’ll guide you through the process with clarity, intention, and just the right amount of humor to keep things fun. When we work together, I want you to feel confident, informed, and fully supported every step of the way.
When I’m not out showing homes or writing offers, I’m probably at the lake soaking up sunshine or a sunset, planning my next travel adventure, trying to perfect a new recipe (some wins, some fails), or checking out a new local spot for wine and small bites.
If you’re looking for a Realtor who’s approachable, honest, and will advocate for you like a best friend with a real estate licenseI’, m your person. I'm here to make this journey not just successful, but enjoyable. I’m here for the long haul and my goal, to be your Realtor for life.
