The science of real estate requires consistent current research, interpretation of market trends, deducing hard number from gather data, preparing accurate contracts and organizing all of the supporting documents required for a clean finish at closing.  I am committed to exceeding the expectations necessary for each real estate transaction.

But buying or selling a home (or both) is also a journey. As your agent/traveling companion in this process, my expectation is to scout the path ahead, educate you about the process, negotiate the pitfalls and obstacles, chart our progress, keep us on track and to do it all as an enjoyable travel guide until you walk into your new home. Many of my clients become friends and refer me to their friends.

Please email me today to let me know how I can best serve your real estate needs. I am listening. (There is also a free cup of coffee in it for you!)

Porchlight Real Estate

Real Estate is about more than a transaction. There are a lot of moving pieces and this is a decision that impacts the rest of your life. Where you live affects who you meet, where you hang out, and what kind of resources are available to you. It's a big deal. 

It's also not something that people tend to do very often.  On average, Americans will own 5 homes in their lifetime. I firmly believe that every transaction should be the very best it can be and I work diligently to make it so.  You deserve a market expert and true advocate on your side to help you throughout your real estate venture with no pressure and a helpful approach.  I am passionate and sensitive about helping you reach your real estate goals, whether they involve investing, beginning a family, or finding a last home. 

When I'm not working, I love mothering my two children, running with my dog and doing personal renovation projects at home.  I enjoy being connected in my community through dog rescue (foster), Scouts, community assistance programs, and in my local neighborhood.  This combined with my knowledge of the real estate market gives me the unique ability to walk you through the real estate process with confidence and compassion.

When you buy or sell with me, consider me your concierge Realtor, and I will make it as pleasant for you as I can.  Looking for a trusted real estate advisor, team leader and advocate? You found me. Let's chat.

Real estate experience: 17 years of hands-on home improvement renovations.
