Along with answering thousands of questions for REALTORS® every year, she develops curriculum, authors articles, makes educational videos, serves as a public speaker for industry partners, testifies and advises regarding legislation that will impact the delivery of real estate brokerage services, and maintains a strong working relationship with regulatory agencies. Without question, however, her favorite pursuit as the Washington REALTORS® Legal Hotline lawyer is working with brokers individually and in a classroom setting to strengthen each REALTOR's delivery of brokerage services so that they exceed the expectations of their clients, preserve earned income and increase the standing of the REALTOR® community in and around the state. Annie graduated with honors from the University of Washington School of Law and then joined the Tacoma law firm of Gordon, Thomas, Honeywell where she practiced until becoming the Hotline lawyer. Prior to attending law school, Annie sold real estate with her parents' real estate firm in Lakewood, Washington. Suffice to say, Annie has loved and worked with REALTORS® nearly her entire life.
