I am a Realtor with Brazen Sotheby's International Realty. Being raised in the northwest gives me an understanding of the many areas in this beautiful region of our country. I grew up in Seattle and have lived in several established neighborhoods over the course of time. That exposure gives me an understanding of the things that create points of difference from one neighborhood to another. I am a graduate of the University of Washington. And for the past 18 years my family has made our home in Bellevue. The growth and change we have seen is amazing.
In addition to my passion for Real Estate, I like to be involved in our community. In the past I served as a volunteer at Children's Hospital. For years my husband and I have supported The Seattle Art Museum, New Beginnings, Treehouse (serving foster children in our area), educational institutions and many other worthy caused in our community. Currently, I serve on the board of directors of Treehouse. People make the difference and all of us together make this a better place to live.
In the past twelve years I have studied real estate activity in the Greater Seattle area market, both commercially and residentially. My husband and I have successfully purchased, developed and sold many commercial and residential real estate projects in the area. All of this first hand experience has provided me with a great understanding of every aspect of the real estate business. In addition, I have earned my CSP for certified new home sales professionals.
My local knowledge coupled with over a 25 year career in sales, marketing and merchandising as an Executive Vice President at Nordstrom gives me a unique ability to combine creative marketing skills with stellar customer service to the benefit of my clients. I respect the people I serve and understand that buying and selling a home is a very personal venture. The experience is about building a life.
The majority of my business comes from referrals. If you have real estate needs or know of someone who does, it would be my pleasure to serve you. My clients deserve my knowledge, professionalism, experience and discretion. It is my goal to deliver results beyond my client's expectations.
Sincerely,
Cindy Paur

Jason@BrazenSIR.com
Jason may have been the youngest agent to ever earn his Real Estate license. Just a week after turning 18, he engulfed his life in following his father's footsteps. Coming off of 20 years of selling Real Estate in 2003, his father, Scott Gibbons established Plateau Real Estate - a savvy Mom-n-Pop shop that would soon dominate the then-new Issaquah Highlands master-planned community. For the next 5 years, Jason would professionally represent buyers and sellers nearly three times his age with a next-to-none knowledge of the Issaquah Highlands community and an ever-growing eagerness to learn more. By 2008, the Gibbons pair had listed and sold over 200 Issaquah Highlands homes - an accomplishment Jason holds much pride in.
Networking, marketing, and mass promoting have always been an entrepreneurial skill-set that he has harnessed and given the right opportunity he can exchange these unique skills for success. With his experienced professionalism, instant charisma, and driving work ethic, Jason is a cut above the rest and has been a valuable asset to all companies he has touched.
A significant event that Plateau Real Estate and the Gibbons family were proud to announce was the collaboration with Brazen Sotheby's in July of 2011. Having an office full of true professionals and major game changers is a very influential and exciting opportunity for Jason and his career moving forward. He anticipates a very bright future with the Brazen SIR team and many more success stories to come - stay tuned!

BROOKE STEVESON

Brooke@BrazenSIR.com
Brooke Steveson's primary focus is to sell and market premiere, world-class, Eastern Washington properties that have earned the distinction of being showcased by the Sotheby's brand, at the local, national, and international level. Her current listings are diverse, and range from luxurious, multi-million dollar lakefront properties and prime hill-top estates, to thousands of acres of wild, raw-land sites.
Her roots are that of a small-town girl—growing up on Lake Chelan, a glacier-fed, 55-mile long fresh water lake—in a town so small, she doubled as a star high school basketball player and a member of the cheerleading squad. At a young age, she set high goals and earned a degree in finance at Pacific Lutheran University in Seattle, WA, and boldly moved to New York, where she landed a position as a financial analyst on Wall Street. From there, she took her financial expertise and entrepreneurial spirit, and created her own manufacturing company, eventually selling product to major national retailers, including Nordstrom and REI.
She has traveled extensively, from the French Riviera to the islands of Indonesia's archipelago, and has collected fine art from all over the world, including original artwork of the Masters. However, her small town sensibilities, keep her feet firmly planted on the ground. She realizes that the little things in life, are sometimes the most priceless—such as the quaintness of an old framed photograph from childhood, or a piece of artwork produced by the precious hands of someone's own child.
Brooke is unique, in that she has sophisticated, financial savvy—including the management of her own investment properties—coupled with a creative mind and a background in interior design. This fine blend of talent, lent itself well to the sale of her first, multi-million dollar, luxury estate, on Bainbridge Island, WA. This exclusive, 12,000+ square foot, waterfront property, remained on the market for some time before she became a part of the listing. Through developing a creative sales and marketing strategy, Brooke helped direct the property towards a slew of interest that soon resulted in a successful closing.
Currently, all roads have led her back to her roots, back to Lake Chelan, to continue pursuing her professional dreams, and to raise her two children with a balance of what is important to her in life. With distinct pride and pleasure, she has brought the prestigious Sotheby's International Realty network to the east side of the Cascade mountains, providing the opportunity for exquisite Eastern Washington properties to be viewed (and acknowledged) on the world stage…
