ADVOCACY
The purchase or sale of real estate is a complex, personal and extremely important business transaction - likely among the largest financial commitments you will make. You need a reputable, well trained and responsive advisor. One who will inform your decision-making, minimize the inherent risk and eliminate unnecessary pressure so you can enjoy this exciting life passage - whether you're looking to buy or resell an existing home, new construction or land; or if you just need information about the marketplace.

THE REAL ESTATE BROKER
Highly organized and knowledgeable about the process and the marketplace, I'll guide you through the sequence of steps you'll need to take. Whether you're buying or selling a home, I aim to establish open communication and an information-sharing collaboration. Truly understanding your needs and desires enables me to make effective buy/sell connections for you.

As your partner in a real estate matter, I make it my business to stay ahead of the curve and keep you informed about what to expect and when. I'll equip you with reference materials, decision-making devices, and lists of technical service providers and expert professional resources.

THE PROFESSIONAL
A long career in computer technology marketing honed my skills in working with people, efficient process management, flexibility, creative problem solving; and my ability to focus if things begin to break down. I'm well versed in the strategies and methodologies needed for an effective, targeted campaign aimed at buying or selling a property and realizing the most positive cost/value outcome. These tools have provided a firm platform on which to build my second, and much enjoyed, career in real estate.

THE PERSON
Born, raised and educated in New England, the winters seemed to get longer, colder and darker. Needing a change, my husband and I researched "kinder and gentler" alternatives and discovered North Carolina. In January 1997 we struck out from the Northeast to begin the next phase of our lives enjoying the extraordinary quality of life in this beautiful state. With interests in golfing, gardening, travel, the arts and in people, NC has provided no end of options to satisfy our every pursuit.
