More About Me

Hi there, I'm Shelley,

Born and raised in Alaska - after school, I spent years traveling the country as a flight attendant before planting roots in the Pacific Northwest in 2009 - Lake Tapps quickly became home.  Close enough to Alaska, where my family still lives, but without the snow and long dark days, it felt like the perfect place to land. 

Today I live here with my daughter and our Havanese pup, Patches, and I’m proud to serve the Lake Tapps, Pierce County, and South King County communities I’m deeply connected now.

Real estate, for me, quickly became more than transactions - I quickly learned that it was about helping people step into the life they’re building. Whether it’s a first home, a waterfront retreat, or a move into your next chapter, I approach every client relationship with intention, advocacy, and care - never forgetting to make it fun along the way.

My background in recruiting and high-end interior sales shaped how I show up professionally: relationship-first, detail-driven, making spaces beautiful and results-focused. I pair that with a strategic, modern marketing approach designed to position homes thoughtfully and reach the right buyers. Combined with a strong local network and deep community ties, my clients benefit from insight, connections, and opportunities that go beyond the listing itself.

I negotiate with purpose, communicate clearly, and guide decisions with calm confidence, making what can feel like a big process feel steady and informed.

My goal is always the same: protect your interests while creating a smooth, elevated experience from start to finish.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me enjoying Lake Tapps, supporting local businesses, or planning the next vacation, road trip or adventure. This community is home in every sense, and it’s a privilege to help others build their lives here.

If you’re looking for a Realtor who blends warmth, strategy, and elevated care, someone invested in your success long after closing, I’m here for the long haul and always plan to be your Realtor for life.
