From Hanoi
to Seattle
A journey across three continents, rooted in a passion for helping families find home.
Three Continents, One Mission
Born in Hanoi, educated in Moscow, and shaped by California before finding my home on Seattle's Eastside in 2006 — my path has always been about embracing new places and understanding what makes a community feel like home.
I started investing in real estate in 2011, buying properties in Bellevue, Kirkland, and Redmond. That hands-on experience as an investor gave me a perspective most agents don't have — I understand the numbers, the neighborhoods, and the long-term value of every decision.
Today, as a broker with Century 21, I help buyers and sellers across Seattle and the Eastside make confident, data-driven decisions. Whether it's a first-time buyer navigating a competitive market or a seller maximizing their home's value, I bring deep local knowledge and a commitment to honest, personalized service.
The Journey
What I Bring
Local Expertise
15+ years living and investing in Seattle and the Eastside. I know the neighborhoods, schools, commute patterns, and hidden gems.
Data-Driven Approach
Weekly market analysis across Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Renton, Bothell, and Issaquah. No guesswork.
Investor Mindset
I evaluate every property the way I'd evaluate my own investments. ROI, appreciation potential, and risk.
Community Connection
Deep roots in the Vietnamese-American community and broader Seattle and Eastside networks.
Mindfulness Meets Real Estate
When I'm not helping clients, you'll find me on the yoga mat — I'm both a practitioner and teacher. Hiking the trails around Issaquah and the Cascades keeps me grounded. I believe the same mindfulness I bring to yoga applies to real estate: listen carefully, stay present, and find the right balance.
