Three things I promise

How I work with you

01

I listen to what YOUR needs are

Then we can curate a plan around what matters most to you.

02

You get me

If you hire me, you get me! As a solo agent I take pride in walking my clients through the process of buying or selling. There will be no hand off to a showing assistant or team member. I love the process of working directly with my clients, buying and selling a home is personal, and I treat it as such.

03

I treat your move like it's my family's

Careful, honest, and a little protective — the way I'd want someone to handle it for my own family.

About Christy

From the medical field to real estate

I'm a trusted real estate professional with RE/MAX Exclusive, proudly serving Pierce County, Thurston County, and the surrounding communities, with a strong focus on military relocation and residential real estate. Licensed as a full-time real estate agent since 2016, I'm known for a hands-on approach, deep local knowledge, and a commitment to guiding clients through every step of buying or selling with clarity and confidence.

Before real estate, I spent over 15 years in the medical field, working across specialties including oncology, radiology, neurosurgery, urology, and chiropractic care. That background shaped my calm, detail-oriented, client-first approach — skills that translate seamlessly into navigating complex transactions, managing timelines, and advocating fiercely for my clients' best interests.

There is nothing quite like handing a first-time buyer their keys. It's more than a transaction — it's the start of their story, and I get to be part of it.

As a Military Relocation Specialist serving the JBLM community, I understand the unique challenges military families face, from tight timelines to finding a neighborhood that feels like home sight unseen. Living just outside the base in Steilacoom lets me give out-of-state buyers honest, hyper-local insight into neighborhoods, schools, commute patterns, and lifestyle options.

Real estate isn't just about homes to me — it's about relationships, trust, and long-term connection, which is why I'm deeply involved in the communities I serve and regularly host client appreciation events and neighborhood gatherings. A Pierce County native who grew up in Gig Harbor, I still work there today and bring both professional expertise and genuine local roots to every client experience. When I'm not working with clients, you'll find me with my husband and our two kids, cheering from the sidelines at soccer, fastpitch, and basketball games — and doing a little thrifting on the side.
