Q: If you could have dinner with any modern living or dead architect, who would it be and what kinds of questions would you ask?

A: Richard Neutra.

Q: How did you get started in modern real estate and what was your driving force for joining 360 Modern?

A: I was in design for 20+ years and have always loved modern. I grew up with mid century and lived in many mid century homes. I only wish that my mother had not gotten rid of some classic furniture! It would be worth a fortune. I built a modern home in sun valley, idaho and contacted heidi ward about featuring it on the site when i listed it for sale. We had known each other through real estate dealings and she knew of my design background. I was thrilled to be asked to join. I love the people in the group and their design esthetic and knowledge of architecture. I am so over selling just craftsman homes.

Q: How do you size up a buyer and what is your criteria for the right houses to show?

A: I get up at 4 am every day and search for new listings and email them immediately. Modern and quality mid centuries in good neighborhoods can sell quickly and i want to have something in their inbox when they get their first cup of coffee. I often “read between the lines” and take client buyers out of their preferred location too. I love to look at where they are currently living and their furnishings. Often modern buyers are living in a craftsman but with modern furniture--a dead giveaway as to what they like versus what they currently have.
