I believe the best way to understand how I work is to see the results for yourself.
This page showcases a collection of recent listings and successful sales, highlighting the transformations that took place before each home reached the market. From decluttering and staging to strategic improvements and professional marketing, every property reflects the care and attention that goes into helping my clients achieve outstanding results.

CASCADE BOULEVARD — 3 Offers in Just 2 Days
From Family Home to Successful Sale
"Every successful sale starts long before the "For Sale" sign goes up.
When the homeowners entrusted us with the sale of their home, we developed a strategy designed to maximize its appeal, generate excitement before launch, and attract the right buyers from day one.
The Challenge
Like many homeowners who have lived in their home for years, the property had incredible potential, but it needed thoughtful preparation to truly showcase everything it had to offer.
Our goal wasn't simply to list the home—it was to help buyers fall in love with it before they even walked through the front door.
The Transformation
✔ Removed overgrown shrubs to brighten the front of the home and improve curb appeal.
✔ Removed the living room carpet and refinished the original hardwood floors, creating one seamless floor that made the space feel larger and brighter.
✔ Installed new carpet in the basement.
✔ Sorted, decluttered and helped the homeowners sell furniture they no longer needed.
✔ Deep cleaned and professionally staged the home.

The Result
🏡 3 Offers
⏱️ Sold in 2 Days
💰 Sold Above Asking Price
📅 Quick Closing
I worked with Anette and her team to downsize and sell my father’s home. The process was especially challenging because his move to a retirement residence happened unexpectedly and I live more than five hours away. From start to finish, Anette went above and beyond.
Anette and her team expertly managed the downsizing and prepared the home for listing in just a couple of weeks. She communicated clearly throughout and managed countless details that I could not have managed remotely.
Despite a difficult market, the house sold within days and drew two offers above the asking price. After the sale, Anette continued to coordinate the move and manage the logistics between sale and closing, which made the process far less stressful for our family.
Professional, compassionate, organized, and hardworking, Anette made a complicated process much easier. I highly recommend Anette to anyone looking for a real estate agent who genuinely cares and delivers outstanding results. -Paul D.

15 Gavey St. - Sold in Just 3 Days • Full Asking Price
Preparation That Delivered Immediate Results
This well-maintained home had been lovingly cared for by a single retired gentleman, but it lacked the warmth and family-focused feel that today's buyers were looking for. Our goal was to help buyers immediately picture themselves raising a family and making memories in the home.

The staging is top notch .Annette makes the process so easy and seamless. The effort she puts in is 100% and I don’t think I would do it any other way. Thank you Annette for all your hard work.
