Professional Realtors®

Professionalism isn't a marketing buzz-word, for us it is a duty we owe to the industry and to you. Being Realtors®, we subscribe to the National Association of Realtors® code of ethics. An excerpt from the NAR Preamble reads: "Under all is the land. Upon its wise utilization and widely allocated ownership depend the survival and growth of free institutions and of our civilization. REALTORS ® should recognize that the interests of the nation and its citizens require the highest and best use of the land and the widest distribution of land ownership..." We believe this wholeheartedly.

Skilled, Dedicated Agents

We bring our years of experience in real estate and the real estate industry to the table when we work for you. As of the time of this writing, we own and manage 22 rental units in the Tri Cities area. This property management/real estate experience dates back prior to our marriage of more than two decades.
