Originally from the Metro Detroit area, Justin’s previous career as a chef led him to Southern California and eventually Seattle. He has embraced western Washington as home for nearly a decade, residing in multiple different neighborhoods in the Puget Sound area. Along with his culinary background in modern cuisine, Justin has multiple gemological accreditations from GIA. He has professional experience in brokering tangible commodities including diamonds, fine jewelry, luxury timepieces and investment metals. His background has proven to translate well into real estate and has molded Justin to become a skilled and caring supporter of his clients. He is dedicated to navigating the personal and often complex process of buying and selling homes by always advocating for the best interest of each individual. Their respect and trust is earned through his tireless work ethic and candid expert advice, backed by decades of aggregate experience from the EDRE team. Justin’s ability to stay in tune with a rapidly changing market allows him to maximize opportunities for both buyers and sellers. His passions aside from real estate include cooking, dining at Seattle eateries, exploring the Columbia valley, hiking in the Cascades and running.
