My partnership with Windermere

I have been with Windermere since 1995. I chose to establish my business with Windermere because of their number one position in the real estate market place, their excellent reputation as a service oriented company and for the marketing services they provide.

Education in real estate is important to me. It keeps me updated on current legal issues, new marketing ideas, developing technology and helps to develop relationships with other Realtors throughout the United States.

Real Estate Expertise
I am a full time Realtor. I list and sell homes, land, condominiums, waterfront and investment properties. I am also a member of the Commercial Broker Association which allows me access to commercial listings and statistics. It is an additional tool for selling investment properties such as land and multifamily residents.

I am committed to client satisfaction and enjoy the relationship building that develops with a client in working together to sell or purchase a property. I pride myself in being a strong negotiator, good communicator and great follow through.

I have always been a strong listing agent and particularly enjoy this aspect of real estate. I research extensively to help my clients set the right price for their property. I use Trendgraphix to analyze all aspects of the market to give my clients realistic expectations. I use my creative side to establish a marketing program unique to the qualities of each property. I never give up on trying new approaches to selling in a very competitive market. I take advantage of the internet to get my listings in front of the world. My listings are marketed on NWMLS, Windermere.com, Realtor.com, Google, Military.com, Zillow.com and Craigs List. I also do specific print marketing materials for my lsitings. Windermere has an excellent Premier Marketing Program for the appropriate luxury properties.
Buyer Agency
Looking for an agent to represent you on the purchase of a home or land? You'll be pleased with my knowledge of real estate laws and contracts. My responsibility will be to find the property that most fits your needs and price range and to guide you through the sales process. I have fun selling and its because I enjoy people. Through this process you will rely on my expertise, dependability and friendly attitude to get the results you want from a Realtor.

"Thanks again Penny for the excellent service. We spent Thurs-Sunday at the cabin and had a fantastic time. The kids all tried kayaking, my wife and I got some windsurfing in - we're building the type of shared experiences and memories that I was looking for. Thanks!"

"Hi Penny, Very pleased with your "pro" efforts in getting a sale finalized on mom's home. I have a heightened appreciation for the technical stuff that real estate agents have to deal with in selling property. You did a fantastic job. Mom and I are most pleased with both the service and financial outcomes of the sale of her home. And, yes-I will not hesitate to recommend you and your firm to anyone that I know who might be selling real estate in Pierce County. Thanks again. "

"My husband and I were out of the area buyers from California, so I had to initially choose a real estate agent via their website and not actually meet them in person. I chose Penny to represent us on the basis of her professional website. I wanted someone who was serious about real estate, had many credentials beyond a basic license and someone who knew the area and the market well. Penny was able to fulfil I all of my criteria for a well-rounded agent. Penny has lived in Gig Harbor for many years. Her website showed several listings, so I knew she was quite active in the area. Finally, I looked at her picture and found a friendly face on a person who looked like she would understand our needs. I was not disappointed. The purchase of our new home went smoothly-even from a distance!"
