My background has provided me with needed insight into buying and selling homes. Experienced in many types of real estate transactions, I have a masters degree and over 25 years of experience in sales and marketing. My personal experience in construction and home performance provide expertise in navigating the choices of energy efficient, healthy, comfortable homes. Being raised on a farm, I feel my upbringing gave me a strong work ethic, high morals, and and core values.
People are buying and selling homes, not just houses. Listening and relating to people on many levels enables me to ferret out your distinct needs and desires whether you are buying or selling. Ongoing communications and personal contact, market updates and staying on top of the sales process provides the best possible experience for buyers and sellers.
In an ever-changing market, I am with you every step of the way.
