Professional Background

My previous profession was as a paralegal for many years - another job that I loved.  When the prominent attorney whom I had worked for retired,  it was time for me to choose a totally different career.   I truly enjoy working with people,  so Real Estate was the perfect choice.

As a Buyer, this is a great time to purchase:  interest rates are fantastic, homes are priced reasonably, and supply is plentiful to choose from.  My Buyer Agency training will help you step by step. 

My "SRES " designation is a National Association of Realtors course designed to prepare us to work with Seniors - I enjoyed learning the ins and outs, and am here to guide you through that path as well.

As a member of the Relocation Team, I receive special training to work with relocating clients.  I know this can be an exciting, although sometimes stressful, time for both the client relocating as well as his/her family.  I look forward to being of service and helping you through the entire process and making it as smooth a transition as possible for you and your family.

I  worked with a Builder for many years and learned much about new construction, attending every workshop and seminar available, as well as many National Association of Home Builders Trade Shows.  It is valuable information that helps me with my Buyers as they go through the process of building a new home.

Facing Foreclosure or a Short Sale in this market is not where any seller wants to be.  I have experience in both, and will use my knowledge to guide you through this difficult time.
