"I was bitten by the "house-hunting bug" at a young age when I would go through the Sunday papers with my parents, looking for open houses. My father was an NFL football coach and we had moved several times throughout my childhood before finally settling in the Pacific Northwest. I have come to view the house hunting and the moving process as an adventure, and although it can sometimes be stressful and inconvenient, I love the process as much today as I did back then!"
