My Background 

Almost 100% of my business is based on referrals of satisfied clients. These clients often remark that the buying/selling experience is easier than they expected or experienced in the past. I believe this is largely due to my straightforward style and sincere approach to each partnership. I truly enjoy the relationships I make with my clients and will continue to build their confidence in me.  

For 20 years I have worked directly with people to understand their unique needs and wants while balancing other situational factors such as organizations issues, budgets or time constraints. In each position, I honed my listening and time management skills to be successful. 

Working in human resources for about 13 years gave me the core “people skills” needed for a career in real estate. From this I leveraged organizational, communication and management skills to create an event planning business. For nearly as long, I organized hundreds of parties and reunions. As a small business owner I mastered the art of being efficient, effective – and fun!  

On a personal note, I have moved several times including relocating from California. These experiences stay fresh in my mind giving me perspective for the logistics of each impending sale. I am also the mother of three busy school-age children. I truly understand buying and selling homes when families are involved.

Let's Work Together 

I understand that buying or selling a home is one of the most important investment decisions you’ll ever make. Finding the right realtor to represent you in your transaction and establishing a trusting relationship is THE most important decision you will make. 

A realtor's knowledge and experience determines whether the purchase on your new dream home or the sale of an investment property will go smoothly, or turn out to be a complete nightmare. 

As an experienced realtor, I know the current market conditions, will help you find a lender with a wide array of loan products to choose from, research comparable homes in the subdivision to help you determine the best price for your home, negotiate a sales price and terms that meet your needs, and help you navigate through the SETTLEMENT process. 

I have your best interest at heart and care about whether you are making a sound investment for your future.
