Judy Taylor Knudsen

Having spent my entire corporate career in sales and customer service , it was a natural next step to to transition into real estate. During my career I've had the opportunity to work for some great brands including Westinghouse Broadcasting, Travelers Insurance, Aetna, Ethan Allen and Thomasville Home Furnishings. I always had real estate in the back of mind as it would allow me to work in an industry where so many of my interests and skills laid.

Since I love all things about home my friends used to call me the "Martha Stewart of the South." My background in interior design included hiring and training for great furniture brands such as Ethan Allen and Thomasville. After a local newspaper featured several homes I had decorated for the holidays, I began writing A weekly interior design column for Houston Community Newspapers allowed me to share decorating ideas with a vast audience. In addition, my sister owned a florist called Persnickety so I had the opportunity to learn floral design. Her daughter carries on the tradition with Persnickety Too - Flowers that Rock!

Since I come from a long line of fantastic Southern cooks and also love to cook, I opened "Judy's Home Cooking" in Houston where I focused on family sized meals like homemade chicken pot pie and freshly made apple, coconut, you name it kind of pies. My homemade crust was always light and fluffy.

I've has the opportunity to live in some great parts of the country and know the importance of making a home wherever you live. Gig Harbor is one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. and I love calling it home. Helping people find "home" is a joy to me. Its important to have someone looking out for you that truly cares that you find the right property and can provide the best professional experience.
