“The ache for home lives in all of us.” ~ Maya Angelou
ABOUT XAN
It took me a long time to buy my first house. My mom was a Realtor®, and I knew young that property ownership was the true path to financial freedom. I grew up learning about escrow, open house staging, when and how to rehab a property. To me, a good woman knew how to hold a hammer. Some girls dreamt of wedding dresses, I dreamt of a home I could rehab. But that dream felt impossible. As a high school English and Creative Writing teacher in cities like Brooklyn, San Francisco, and Seattle, it just wasn’t in reach. So, I waited. I rented. I made some bad decisions. I shuffled through more roommates than I can count. After making multiple failed offers, I gave up and lived nomadically for a stint, pursuing the remote-work lifestyle on the road. It was fun enough, but after six months, I grew weary. I had to make a real change.
In 2020, after years of saving, a little prayer and encouragement, I bought my first house. It was the best choice I’ve made. It’s one I’m excited to help you make for yourself.
In Seattle, I have been a tour guide, an education consultant, yoga teacher, and workshop leader. But I am, and in a way always have been a broker of homes. I love freedom, and adventure. But the greatest freedom I have found is inside my own home. I’m here to help you find that for yourself.
