I am a wholesaler and realtor in Tacoma, would love to work with you. Let me know how I can help! 

Hi all,

I am hoping to find recommendations for real estate agent teams to join in the Tacoma area. I have been licensed for a few years but would like to try working with a team. I am investor friendly, have a solid database, driven, outgoing, mom of 5 who is also a newbie wholesaler. Any recommendations?
