We started as good neighbors, became great friends, shared our common values and goals, and then forged a real estate practice as consumer advocates. Our mission is to protect and grow your net worth, providing the kind of excellence in Realtor® service that we would want given to us.

We are...
 

Option Oriented
Your agent's choice of the myriad Purchase and Sale Agreement forms
and addenda can heavily advantage or disadvantage your contractual obligations. We believe in consumer empowerment by imparting uncommon knowledge and unusually high standards of business practice.

Sole Representatives
Many agents practice Dual Agency claiming to be able to represent two parties to a transaction equally, while retaining 100% of the commission for themselves. We believe in sole representation. We work to the advantage of one party to the transaction, yours.

Documented and Detailed Service Providers
We encourage all consumers to ask potential agents to provide a written and proven Success System to achieve your intended results. In our complimentary consumer guidebooks you will find evidence of our methods and results direct from our delighted clients.

Experience Joy Canova
For Joy, the Pacific Northwest is the best of all worlds: great urban life amid a splendid natural environment. Before her real estate career, Joy was a business manager and a volunteer-lobbyist for various non-profit organizations. The inspiration to launch a career in real estate grew out of her experience renovating a 1928 Federal Style home on Capitol Hill. Each step along the way brought her closer to her lifestyle and community goals. Joy understands the desire to find something beyond a mere house – the special place one can embrace as a home.

"When someone sells their home they give up part of themselves. And when someone buys a home they put a part of themselves into it. Both are opportunities for personal growth and I love helping people meet these challenges."
– Joy Canova

Experience Mark Gibson
Mark is a man of many interests; his work is complemented by a passion for aviation and restoring classic cars. Before finding his calling in real estate, Mark spent over 15 years managing customer service in technology-based operations. Now he applies those skills translating the sometimes complex process of buying or selling a home into easy to understand language for his clients.

"I truly enjoy working with people, and I love to solve problems. What better way to find satisfaction than to help someone buy a dream home, or sell a house at the best price possible?"
– Mark Gibson
