My real estate experience began early. At twenty-five, a single woman in Alaska, with mortgage interest rates soaring to 18 percent, I built my first home! I moved to Bellingham in 1986 for the quality of life and extraordinary environment here. I continued in real estate, transacting business that included, remodels, new construction, rentals, and tax exchanges. I have purchased and sold many personal homes with a wide range of styles and values—even dream homes. As life happens, I have also experienced dashed dreams and the homes that went with them.

Home should be your sanctuary. I believe that what is most important is having a home filled with love and having gratitude daily for the roof over your head.

I chose a career in real estate soon after arriving in Whatcom County. I had several successful years as an agent, before leaving to raise my daughter, Chelsea Messer. She and I have been through many household moves over the years. Today, it gives me great joy and satisfaction to return to real estate and to work together with her.
