Mill Creek Real Estate Expert | Seattle & Edmonds Specialist | Trusted Guide for Life Transitions
There's no place like home—and for me, that's the Pacific Northwest. As a top-producing Seattle real estate broker and founder of Locke Real Estate, I've spent my life here, raised my family here, and built a business helping others do the same. With over 20 years of experience and 500+ homes sold throughout Mill Creek, Edmonds, Snohomish, and the greater King and Snohomish County markets, I consistently rank in the top 5% of agents in the Northwest MLS.
I bring calm expertise to every transition. As a buyer's agent and listing agent, I've helped first-time homebuyers navigate Seattle's competitive market, supported downsizing homeowners after decades in their beloved homes, and guided out-of-state clients as a trusted relocation specialist. My work is backed by dozens of verified 5-star reviews on Google and Zillow.
Earlier in my career, I spent a decade in executive leadership as General Manager of Ben Kinney Companies (Keller Williams) and as the founding broker of record for Compass Washington. I've also served as a national real estate speaker, trainer, and Inman panelist. After years leading teams, I returned to client-facing work when my two sons headed to college—both staying close to home in the PNW.
Now affiliated with Real Broker, LLC, I specialize in guiding clients through significant life transitions throughout the Puget Sound area. My approach as a residential real estate agent combines deep market expertise with compassionate advocacy, grounded in empathy, strategy, and results.
Today, I focus on helping buyers and sellers in Mill Creek, Edmonds, and Seattle navigate big transitions with less stress and more strategy. I’m especially passionate about working with:
-
First-time homebuyers who need honest guidance and local know-how
-
Downsizing seniors and families who want a seamless, supported process
-
Out-of-state buyers who need boots-on-the-ground expertise and advocacy
Real estate is more than buying or selling a house—it’s about building a life you love. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, grounded, and heart-led partner in the journey, I’d be honored to help. Whether you're buying your first home in Mill Creek, selling a property in Edmonds, or relocating to the Seattle area—I'd be honored to be your trusted REALTOR®.
