At The Leverage Team, we're constantly improving the real estate experience by experimenting and developing new ways to market and serve our clients.

Before leading The Leverage Team at Compass, I served as the CEO of RE/MAX Northwest. Under my leadership, the company grew from 1 agent in 2011 to 16 offices, 700 agents, and nearly $5 billion in annual sales, making it the fastest-growing RE/MAX brokerage in the region and the 4th largest in the United States.

With over a decade of experience as CEO of one of the most productive national brand brokerages in the U.S., overseeing more than $30 billion in total sales, I was inspired to build The Leverage Team.

"Guess what? You're going to land a job you love AND buy your own place! When that time comes, please remember these pointers..."

Wish I could share these nuggets of wisdom with my younger me – lessons I was clueless about before getting the keys to my first home.

Budget for upkeep costs. I never saw maintenance expenses coming. It's essential to earmark a budget for this – roughly 1%-3% of your home's value annually. Stashing a set amount monthly into a high-yield savings account can save you from future headaches.

It's ok to be nervous about a new mortgage, it's always scary no matter your age, but you'll get used to it really quickly and be fine. 

A home brings stability for you and your family. Owning your slice of the world offers unparalleled security and warmth – it's your sanctuary, after all. The tranquility and sense of belonging it provides are invaluable.

Enjoy the calm of fixed monthly expenses. The unpredictability of rent hikes was a nightmare. Buying my place offered me tranquility, knowing my outgoings were consistent and wouldn’t surprise me next month.

Expect your property's value to climb. Worried about your investment? Don't be. Property values trend upwards over time, making homeownership a wise financial decision.

So, if you're mulling over your first home purchase and feeling a tad overwhelmed, I totally get it. It's a monumental decision!
