Your guide
Hi, I’m Spencer.
I moved to Tacoma in 2017 and fell hard for its laidback, local-first energy. Since then I’ve helped dozens of buyers — many relocating from out of state — find the right neighborhood for their life, not just their budget.
Working at Windermere Abode, I specialize in making the relocation process feel manageable: FaceTime showings, real-time market updates, and a trusted vendor list so you’re never starting from scratch.

Kind words
From buyers who made the move.
Real feedback from real clients.
His reliable communication and negotiation skills, attention to detail, and personable nature helped us snag our dream home, even though we did not have the highest offer.
Spencer made the entire process feel easy, even though the market was changing quickly and I had a lot to learn.
Spencer is dedicated to his clients and we felt so welcomed, comfortable, and seen, as part of the queer community, when property purchases can sometimes be very intimidating.
