Client Testimonials
Toby sold me my first home in 2008. He was very knowledgeable and I appreciated all his hard work. He was able to be present at the property for the inspection since I was a single mom and had to work.

Snohomish County Scenery
If you are passing through or choosing to call Snohomish County your home, you will quickly notice the two most distinctive features: The Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountain Range. These two features provide a rich outdoors environment for residents all year round. In the spring and summer, boats dot the Puget Sound and can be seen from the Mukilteo Ferry docks to Davis Slough (eastside of Camano Island). Personally, I am avid shelfisherman but there are many other sports as well as sailing and power boating that are common on the Puget Sound. In the east the Cascade Mountains command the eye’s attention. In the winter months, snow skiing and snow boarding, and snowmobiling are popular while in the summer hiking, camping, and fishing take over.
