Hi - It is nice to meet you! I come to real estate with a background in education. For the first half of my career I was a coach, professor, and college athletics director, most recently at Sweet Briar College. I am originally from the Midwest, and I have called Central Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley home for the past 24 years. I love it here! Growing up, my father was a local business owner and my mother was in marketing and promotions. I got to appreciate the value of getting to know customers and building relationships by helping my parents in their store. I also helped my parents with their investment properties growing up, and that started my love of real estate. With years of experience helping families through the process of investing in college education, I know what it’s like when you make life’s big investments. Buying a home is a major investment, and I am here to help you every step of the way! As a member of your team, you will have a tenacious and persistent competitor on your side. Plus, I love negotiating! Buying or selling your first home can be a scary decision. I take the scary part out of the process. I love helping and sometimes educating buyers and sellers to find the perfect fit. As I believe most educators will tell you, the true job satisfaction comes from the relationships you build working with students and families. I find the same is the same for me in real estate. My approach to helping you find that perfect home or sell your home is about building relationships and understanding your needs and goals. When you are ready, give me a call. I look forward to working with you!
