About Us

Experience, heart, and a whole lot of follow-through.

We're Cindy and Carissa, a mother-daughter team who grew up in Tacoma, fell in love with it, and never left. (Honestly, have you seen the Pacific Northwest? We don't blame ourselves.)

Real estate is our profession, but people are our passion. Whether you're buying your first home, selling a place full of memories, or figuring out what a move looks like later in life, we're here for all of it. Not just the paperwork, but the whole journey.

We're the kind of agents who answer the phone, show up on move day, and genuinely celebrate with you at closing. We take the time to really listen, make a plan that fits your life, and handle the details so you don't have to lose sleep over them.

When we're not working, you'll find us camping, walking the beach, or soaking up everything this beautiful corner of the world has to offer. That love for this community is exactly why we do what we do, and why we'd be honored to help you find your place in it.

What Makes Us Different

A lot of agents will list your home. We'll help you live your next chapter.

What sets us apart is simple: we actually show up. From sorting through a lifetime of belongings to coordinating contractors, managing movers, and being right there on move day, we handle the parts of a move that most agents never even think about. We've built a trusted network of vendors who offer senior discounts and priority service, so you're never left searching for reliable help on your own.

We keep you informed every step of the way with regular updates, a dedicated point of contact, and the kind of communication that actually puts your mind at ease.

Whether you're a senior navigating a big life transition, a first-time buyer, or somewhere in between, you get the same thing from us: two people who are fully invested in making this as smooth, stress-free, and maybe even enjoyable as possible.

Modern Kitchen Interior

- Kelsie M.

“...As a first time seller and not knowing the process well, Cindy was very clear with communication and walked me through each step and gave honest answers to my questions the entire time. I would recommend them to anyone, including executors for estates who might feel a little in over their head.”

Modern Bedroom Interior

- Herb D.

“...Cindy's hands-on work ethic is impressive. She is consistently available to coordinate with us, promptly address any concerns, and provide crucial updates. Her professionalism and dedication to her clients are evident in every interaction, making our job easier and ensuring that the home buying process is smooth and efficient for everyone involved.

 

Working with Cindy is always a pleasure, and we highly recommend her to anyone seeking a real estate agent who truly cares...”

Modern Living Room

- Jackie B.

“Cindy, is the most caring and compassionate realtor I’ve ever met. She's always a phone call away and returns my calls promptly. Her and her team are truly one of a “kind”. She’s helped our families in the whole process of selling our homes. From organizing an Estate Sale to signing the final paperwork. Reach out to her for your exceptional support in selling or purchasing of a home.”
