Hello friends and potential clients! I originally obtained my real estate license to represent myself after my first experience of buying a house was not the best. I wanted to understand the process and how I could prevent other families from falling into the same pitfalls that I had; simply by not knowing or having someone to educate me along the way. I have represented many families and friends during their home buying experience whether they were first time home buyers or purchasing for a second time! I can honestly say that I have a hectic but fulfilling life. I am a busy wife and mother to four beautiful children and both of these roles are very important to me. However, I have learned through many years of experience that balancing work life and family life is the key to success. I am honest, hardworking, and believe in treating others with respect. I know that selling your home or looking for a new one can sometimes be a stressful time, so I work hard to keep communications open and your best interest at heart.
