SIDNEY RIESS |

Broker

I joined the Porterhouse Team back in 2018 after being introduced to Eric and Tony through my step-father. I never considered to make my love for real estate into a career but with this team it seemed possible and exciting! I was raised by a family of contractors, car penters, investors, designers, etc. and therefore have been around real estate in some way, shape or for m my whole life. Over the last few years I have been able to cultivate my own specialty within the real estate world and have loved helping our clients during every step of the process. I was bor n, raised and currently reside in the Buckley/ Enumclaw area and love watching this area flourish. Our team at Porterhouse prides itself on being an approachable and inclusive team that strives to create the most customer-centric experience for our clients. I am so excited to be a part of a team that shares my same desire to provide the highest level of service to our community and we can’t wait to work with you!
