SELECT ASSOCIATES - Key Persons
I was born and raised in Stevens county and am ecstatic to be back "home" continuing my career as a Managing Broker. I graduated from Kettle Falls High School, SFCC and transferred to The University of Washington. In 2000, I discovered my passion for Real Estate and have been helping buyers and sellers achieving their real estate goals ever since. I have experience with commercial, residential, multifamily, investment and relocation.
I was trained by a phenomenal group of mentors with CENTURY 21 North Homes Realty, Inc. After 19 years selling real estate in Seattle and surrounding areas, my family and I permanently relocated back to Colville, WA. I am honored to now be an agent for the dynamic office of Re/Max Select Associates in Colville. I directly represent buyers and sellers in Stevens, Spokane, Ferry and Pend Oreille Counties with the ability to connect you to the true pros in the Seattle area.
In any market or location, the single most important asset to a buyer or seller is an agent that fully understands the importance of ethics, honest dealings and a continuous effort to achieve success through skilled, assertive negotiations. I have the knowledge, diligence and integrity to guide you and make the process as smooth as possible.
I focus on building an honest relationship with you so you can trust I'll always have your best interest at heart. Thanks to my father, I have a loyal work ethic. My mother, by how she treated others, provided the key to happiness in my life, which is not only to work hard but to help others along the way. God blessed me with a hardworking husband, which allows me to focus on the relationships I make, not the commission. Give me a call to see if we are a good fit. If so, there is no one that will work harder to address your real estate needs and help you in the next chapter of your life story. Cheers!
I have been in the real estate industry full time as a property manager since 2015; and became a licensed Broker with RE/MAX Select Associates in May 2018. With hard work and passion for the business and the people I serve, I continue to work in property management, and I am excited to be in the sales aspect of the industry moving forward to further accommodate the clients I serve.
I am looking forward to continuing my education and expanding my knowledge through further training and real-life transactions provided through RE/MAX and the North East Washington Association of Realtors. I offer a vast knowledge of the rental and sales markets in the Colville Valley and have the experience you need to assist you with investment purchases together with your new home or land for future building.
I have lived in the Colville Valley for 11 years and am a native to the Pacific Northwest. I live on a cattle ranch between Chewelah and Colville where I am raising my family. I love the lifestyle and teaching my children the value of a strong work ethic, high morals together with core values that I have in my personal life and business life.
A native of Eastern Washington, I came to make Colville, WA my home in 2001 after spending 25 years in the US Coast Guard. During my career with the Coast Guard I completed a BA in Business from Columbia College. The fall of 2001 I entered the Real Estate world which has been very enjoyable for me. Early on I was involved in local and state associations and served as a Director for 6 years, President for one term, and was named Realtor of the Year in 2004. In 2006 I completed the requirements to become a Managing Broker in WA and 2010 in Idaho. From 2006 to 2014 I worked primarily in Industrial Forests with Forest Capital Partners and John Hancock Natural Resource Group in NE Washington.
With over fourteen years of experience in our local Real Estate market I can help you with your residential and land Real Estate needs. I also have many years of experience and knowledge in the Foreclosure Market and can help you with your investment needs. I have served a three year term on the Northeast Washington Association of Realtors Board and was a Top Producer in 2015. I have served on the NEWAR Board of Directors 2013-2015 and 2019-2021.
I am honored to have joined RE/MAX Select Associates in their Colville Office.Before my tenure as a Realtor with RE/MAX started, I was raised and spent the majority of my life in the mountains and valleys in and around Stevens County. As one of ten siblings, we spent endless hours outside enjoying the beauty and recreational opportunities that this area provides.
I also attended Whitworth University, and because of my passion for history and land worked for the National Park Service to further my education. I became a Real Estate Agent because of my memories, connections, experiences in this area and cannot see myself calling anywhere else home. I cannot wait to introduce you to all that this dynamic region and community has to offer.
I am a genuine small town girl. Born and raised in this beautiful northeast corner of Washington state that I call home. How can one go wrong? You get all four seasons and every opportunity from learning to water ski on Lake Roosevelt in the summer to snow skiing at several different ski hills in the winter. Going camping far enough away from home to not have cell service and only being 20 miles out! Camping is one of my favorite things to do. Along with taking the Jeep out or riding the Harley!
This is my hometown and I love it! I would like nothing more than to help you find your dream home, property to build it, or just a getaway. So you can start enjoying the area like I do.
I chose to become a real estate agent for a couple different reasons. First, would be my love of meeting new people. It seems I always learn something from a new acquaintance or gain a new outlook on one thing or another. It makes life interesting. Secondly, would be my passion for the before and after. I love helping things look new or different.
So, if you're thinking about moving to or out of the area, I am here to meet you and make the process as easy as I can for you.
I grew up in the Seattle area and moved to the Colville Valley in 1989 to set down roots and raise my family. I am a 30+ year resident of the community and have raised 5 children here. Now that my oldest children have graduated from college and married, they have begun to migrate back to the area to settle. What a testimony to this beautiful region! I appreciate the outdoor lifestyle the Colville area offers, and I especially enjoy summer boating on the Columbia River with my family and friends.
After a 17 year career in Human Services, I decided it was time for a change to follow my heart. I have loved the real estate industry for as long as I can remember. As a 4th generation Realtor, not only is it a part of my DNA, it has also become a family legacy. Professionally I offer extensive knowledge of the community, a strong work ethic and a passion for helping people.
I take pride in providing exceptional service. Please contact me if you are looking for a Realtor who has your best interests at heart and will work hard to ensure you have the best possible experience.
I look forward to serving you as "Barcus Properties, Your Hometown Team". My extraordinary team, Barcus Properties, consists of myself, team leader and seller specialist; Renee who is literally my right hand and keeps me on track; Amber Menke our buyer's specialist and Jim Sweet, my "behind the scenes do everything unbelievable human being".
Raised in Western Washington, and after brief residence in Tampa, Florida, I made my way to Stevens County, WA in 2004. This transition is where I began my love affair with Eastern Washington! Soon after, I met my husband and started my family in the small town of Kettle Falls.
My background in customer service and the desire to make people smile were the building blocks in my decision to pursue real estate. I've always been obsessed with houses since I was a little girl and the landscape and location combined has energized me to provide assistance to those moving into the area with the same enthusiasm I felt when establishing my residence.
My family and I can usually be found enjoying the great outdoors by hiking, horseback riding, fishing or camping on our beautiful trails, rivers and local parks. You could also see us cheering on our beloved Kettle Falls Bulldogs! Or, enjoying our various restaurants, local breweries, parks and other community events.
When choosing me as your Realtor, I promise to be passionate, genuine, and focused through your process. I strive to listen and learn about all the people I encounter. Empathetic and dependable, I will be your confidant and advocate through the exciting and emotional process of buying your home.

"I can also help sell your property!"
There are some brokers who either are Buyers Agents, or Listing Agents. I feel it's important to be fluid in both. Being well versed in all facets of real estate, I am a greater resource to my clients. Whether you are upsizing, downsizing, or looking to relocate,I can help you through the whole process and will keep the stress levels as low as possible.
