How Tricia Helps
Buying your first home, selling a Camano Island waterfront, or relocating to the North Puget Sound — Tricia has you covered across every type of transaction.

Expert buyer representation with sharp local strategy — including wells, septic, and waterfront nuances unique to Camano.

Strategic marketing, professional staging, and skilled negotiation to sell faster and for top dollar in Stanwood & Camano.

Waterfront isn't simply a house with a view. Access, shoreline, rights and improvements differ property to property — so we look well beyond the house.

Barn, fencing, turnout, pasture, arena, trailer access — evaluated for how the property actually works for horses. Tricia keeps horses at home herself.

Moving to Stanwood or Camano? Get neighborhood guides, virtual tours, and a smooth landing from a 30-year local.

Patient, step-by-step guidance and trusted lender connections — getting first-time buyers to the closing table since 1992.

Luxury isn't simply a higher price point. Distinctive properties call for a different approach to valuation, marketing, privacy and showings.

Guidance for families, personal representatives and executors selling a longtime family home — including properties not on the market in decades.

Builder negotiation and contract guidance to protect you through every phase of a new build in Stanwood or Arlington.

A data-driven analysis — not an automated guess — of what your Stanwood, Camano, or Arlington home is worth today.

Where Tricia Works
Deep local knowledge across Stanwood, Camano Island, and the surrounding North Puget Sound communities.
Small-town living, farmland, and rural acreage with reasonable access to Seattle, Bellevue, Everett, and Bellingham. Stanwood-Camano School District serves the area with well-regarded schools.
Waterfront, no ferry — a quieter pace with island lifestyle plus bridge access. Wells, septic, and waterfront nuances mean Tricia's three decades of local expertise becomes incredibly valuable here.
Along the Stillaguamish River in north Snohomish County — grown considerably without losing its small-town character. Historic downtown, established neighborhoods, newer development around Smokey Point, and acreage just outside town.
On Fidalgo Island in Skagit County, surrounded by water, forest and marinas. Real estate varies dramatically — historic homes near downtown, view properties, waterfront, and homes tied to marina life.
One of Snohomish County's larger cities, right on I-5, with Quil Ceda Village and the Tulalip Reservation along its western edge. The market varies a great deal from one part of the city to another.
County seat of Skagit County and the anchor of the whole valley — its commercial and administrative centre. Market character shifts noticeably from one neighborhood to the next.
Right in the heart of the Skagit Valley — coffee on Fairhaven Avenue and hiking in the North Cascades foothills within the half hour. It has grown into the valley's retail and service hub.
At the eastern edge of Skagit County, where the valley meets the North Cascades foothills. Known as the Gateway to the North Cascades, with homes close to town plus acreage, shops and barns nearby.
On Bellingham Bay between the Salish Sea and the Cascade foothills, about 90 miles north of Seattle. Home to Western Washington University, a working waterfront, and a strong outdoor lifestyle.
Snohomish County's largest city and county seat, on Port Gardner Bay roughly 25 miles north of Seattle. A mix of historic neighborhoods, waterfront living, and major employment centers.
A Whatcom County town that has kept its own identity with Bellingham just down the road. An established downtown, room to grow on the outskirts, and 15–20 minutes from downtown Bellingham.
