camille@BrazenSothebysRealty.com
Camille began her career with commercial real estate in the Los Angeles area. Working for a well known company managing one of the largest pension funds in the country, she marketed and leased office properties and research and development parks in Silicon Valley. Participating in the creation of a whole new market at the beginning of the high-tech revolution was an exciting time in her life, and her initial success has followed her ever since.
After Seattle real estate investments had been flagging throughout the late 1980's, Camille's company sent her to jumpstart the leasing and sales activity of a Southcenter property on Andover Parkway. This was a difficult time for Seattle Washington real estate, and many established builders and developers found themselves unable to move the market. Camille's personal formula for success; matching creativity with hard work and attention to detail, could only result in another successful endeavor.
Camille worked with projects as far away as Colorado and New Mexico, but when she faced relocation to Florida, Camille found her heart had made a home in the Pacific Northwest. Transitioning to residential real estate in Seattle presented a new challenge, and Camille proved herself an accomplished land agent. Connecting choice property plans with builders and developers was a logical extension of her prior expertise.
Camille has raised her two boys, Tiger and Jordon, the pride and joy of her life, in Bellevue. Both boys are avid and accomplished young golfers, and have qualified for the District 2 championships ever since they were 8 years old. This past year they tied for second place in the Broadmoor Golf Club's twelve and under division. In addition to golfing together, the family enjoys skiing, snowboarding, and sailing.
Camille P. Brash is a welcome addition to the dedicated professionals at Brazen Sotheby's International Realty. Her specialties, including high end residential, condos, estate and waterfront properties, finer new constructions and destination properties make her a perfect fit for the Brazen Sotheby's office. We are certain Camille will earn the loyalty of our most discriminating customers.

LizDavidson@BrazenSothebysRealty.com
Licensed as a real estate professional since 2001, I have been helping buyers, sellers and investors realize their real estate dreams both in Oregon and Washington.
However, because of my love for international travels and an interest in real estate practices in different parts of the world, I decided early on in my real estate career to make international real estate part of my business plan...
Certified International Properties Specialist (CIPS) — Having traveled extensively and being fluent in several languages, I was encouraged by my mentor to acquire this designation. The requirements to qualify for certification are: education, transactions with an international element, foreign languages spoken, other education, civic involvement, working and education abroad. There are only 1800 CIPS designees world-wide, therefore, being awarded this certification in May of 2008, at the NAR Mid-year convention in Washington DC was quite a distinction.
The International Real Estate Federation (FIABCI) — I became a member of FIABCI because of instant access to Global Network and the excellent opportunities to network at local, national and international meetings. With over 3,300 members in over 60 countries in the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific, FIABCI offers its members the opportunities to gather at the many international conferences organized throughout the year to network, market properties as well as the opportunity to share valuable global information and education to help members become well-informed global players in the Real Estate Industry.
I service investors looking to acquire investment properties here in the U.S., American investors wishing to acquire investment/vacation properties overseas, as well as marketing resort developments in different parts of the world.
With my listings in Washington and Oregon, I'm able to bring them to the world arena of international realtors, developers and investors looking for sound investments in all parts of the globe. These listings are placed in the local Multiple Listing Services, my Company Websites, my Personal Website, as well as the websites of various international organizations that I belong to.
I welcome the opportunity to serve my clients.

A 13-year veteran Realtor, Mela is highly regarded for her ability to match people with beautiful homes in the Pacific Northwest. Her belief is that buyers aren't just shopping for square feet and number of bedrooms, but rather a lifestyle and a feeling deep inside when you find that special property. It's a feeling you get when you drive up, walk through the front door, and immediately know you are home. Owning a house is one very important investment for most people, but buyers are looking for more than a house - they're looking for a home, that special place to raise your family, to entertain your closest friends, and to create a new life. Mela's ability to envision the perfect home for her clients - coupled with her strong experience with the finance and mortgage process - help her clients achieve their real estate goals.
Mela is equally adept at helping sellers get the best possible price for their homes through her professional skills and design talents. An accredited staging professional, she brings her extensive knowledge in interior design to help owners of the Northwest's finest properties dramatically showcase their homes. Buyers are awed by a home that has personality, warmth, and life. "No more beige" is her mantra for sellers! She doesn't believe in a homogenized approach to design and staging. Her approach to each home is unique, with an emphasis placed on the individual home's attributes and special character. Her design and artistic skills truly help showcase the splendor of each home.

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
