Certifications and Bio

    During my time with Northwood Realty/ Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices The Preferred Realty, I have pushed myself to learn as much as I can, embracing sales in varied facets of our industry, including residential, commercial and vacant land sales, as well as helping others with rentals and leases.  I've worked with buyers from first time home buyers to downsizers, sellers listing properties under many different situations, as well as working with investors and developers. I also pride myself in contributing time and attention to the various service projects that our office provides, including Northwood Charitable Foundation, that offers financial support for housing related charities and our Pink Tag Sale that benefits A Glimmer Of Hope breast cancer foundation.
Every day offers new challenges and each deal is unique and requires attention to detail. If you call me, I will answer or return your call in a quick manner. In this changing market, and with the new laws in place, it is imperative that you have an agent who is there for you  and knows how to negotiate for you, to get the best deal possible. I also pride myself as being relational and not just transactional. I am your Forever Agent!
