About Roger Turner
Working with Windermere has been a successful and wonderful career. I enjoy working with people and have a real interest in homes. How they are built, the different styles, the way they are decorated. I enjoy helping people with their decision to buy or sell and I meet some fascinating people in all walks of life, going through every transition people deal with in their lives.
I am very fortunate to be in a job that I enjoy, while able to produce a good living for my wife, Linda and family. We have two children, a boy named Ben and a girl named Marie. I originally began my career with a degree from the University of Washington in Business Administration.
I passed the real estate licensing exam within two years of graduation after having worked in an accounting office for a short time. I also took the time to study and pass the CPA exam which is where I met my wife! It is therefore a good thing that I became a CPA for a short time, although I don’t practice as a CPA any longer. I was born in Seattle and love living here.
