I was born and raised in a small town in southern Ethiopia, and my journey to real estate started long before I got my license in Washington. After earning my Law degree from the University of Bahir-Dar in 2006, I became the director for the Ethiopian Human Rights Council’s Southwestern division, working to protect people’s rights. My passion for helping others took me from Ethiopia to Miami, where I studied for my Master’s in Law, and later to Seattle in 2009, where I worked with my community to assist immigrants in need.

Through my years of service, I met so many hardworking people trying to build a stable future. No matter where they came from or what challenges they faced, I noticed one thing—owning a home made all the difference. Having a place to call your own isn’t just about having a roof over your head; it’s about security, independence, and creating opportunities for the future.

That’s what led me to real estate. I realized that homeownership and investing weren’t just for the wealthy—they are powerful tools that can help anyone build financial stability. Unfortunately, many people believe that buying a home or investing in real estate is too complicated or out of reach. I want to change that. My goal is to make the process simple, clear, and accessible, so people feel confident in taking that step.

I know what it’s like to start with little and work toward something bigger. I was lucky to have people who helped me along the way, and now, I want to do the same for others. I want to help people in my community take control of their future through homeownership and investing. Because in the end, real security isn’t just about where you live—it’s about what you build for yourself and your family. And if I can help even one person take that step, then I know I’m doing what I’m meant to do.
