Personal Background
My background includes teaching, studying art history, interior design, and raising a family. Each of these areas has equipped me with skills necessary to facilitate my client's needs rather than just sell homes. Teaching was a great training ground for patience and developing communication skills. Being able to successfully communicate is a vital part of successful negotiating. My studies in interior design gave me an eye for what a home is or could be. Raising a family of three is equal to earning a masters degree in organizational, interpersonal and negotiation skills.

Mission Statement
My specialty ranges from helping the first time homebuyer in the area trying to come to grips with this real estate market to the seasoned Fortune 500 executive seeking a multi-million dollar home. My interests include staging homes to maximize their sales price and delivering that price through an aggressive marketing campaign.
My two greatest strengths are (1) applying over 30 years of experience to supply my buyers and sellers with the information they need to make an informed decision and (2) making certain the client has as much fun as possible in the process.
