    I have over 26 years of experience in the real estate and loan servicing industry, having worked in the REO (Real Estate Owned) department of two major Loan Servicing companies in Florida and Texas. My duties have included managing the closing process, handling title issues, and successfully settling the sale and transfer of ownership of the REO properties. Prior to getting my Real Estate License in 2012 I was an assistant for one of Houston's Top 25 agents and was fully immersed in the residential real estate market. I am a Certified Relocation Agent and a Master Certified Negotiations Expert. I thoroughly enjoy working with Veterans, first time homeowners, move ups, sellers and love introducing newcomers to Houston and the surrounding areas!

    I am a Florida native but consider myself a proud Texan! We got here as fast as we could when we relocated to Houston in 2000, settling in the Cypress area in 2001. My husband and I have four beautiful daughters ranging in age from 31 to 36 and two cats. The grandparent phase is well underway... we have been blessed with two granddaughters, five grandsons currently with a sixth arriving in December 2023. When we do have some spare time you will find us on a cruise ship, taking road trips or hanging out with family and friends cooking out, swimming, and making memories.

    With the demands of supporting school-age kids behind me, I can absolutely provide you with the best customer service while meeting your personal needs and expectations. Together we can succeed at achieving your goals, whether buying, selling, or leasing a home, I want to make your experience a pleasant and simple one!
