Although it has taken me over 30 years to get back to Austin, I am thrilled to finally be here, and even more thrilled to be able to work both in Austin and Houston! As a graduate of St. John's School (where both my husband, Bennett and my daughter, Ellie - class of 2015 graduated as well) and after earning my English degree from the University of Texas, where I was a member of Kappa Delta Sorority, I pursued numerous adventures in Houston - from owning a sports bar, to being a family law legal assistant, to running our family's oil and gas business. My latest adventure was my decision to reinvent myself after all these years and go back to school and earn my real estate license!.

With over 30 years of personal real estate experience buying and selling numerous properties (homes, condos, farm and ranch), once I got my license, I went to work cutting my teeth in the highly competitive Houston market and earning a considerable number of professional designations including: GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute), ABR (Accredited Buyer's Representative) Certified Home Marketing Specialist (CHMS), Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE), Master Certified Negotiation Expert (MCNE), Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR) and Accredited Luxury Home Specialist (ALHS) - tools that allow me to provide excellent service to my clients.

I represent all ranges of buyer and sellers in both Austin and Houston, from first timers to experienced veterans, guiding my clients step-by-step through the intricacies of the purchase process. My advanced real estate education and skill-set allow me to make the home buying experience as seamless as possible. From the very beginning of the process of choosing a lender for a pre-approval, to selecting and screening homes, to negotiating the murky waters of the sales contract, to ensuring all deadlines are met, to making sure all t's are crossed and all i's are dotted, I oversee the entire transaction with my full and undivided attention to every detail.

As one who loves to be creative and “think out of the box,” I view situations from a fresh perspective and don’t get bogged down with how things have always been done. I also have a wicked sense of humor, and love people and animals. My mother once told me that people are not loved for their strength of character, but rather for their amiable weaknesses. I must confess that my amiable weakness (according to my husband and daughter) lies in my innate inability to cook. So I draw upon the kindness and generosity of my clients and friends to provide me with foolproof recipes that I can share.

During my spare time, you can find me relaxing at our farm in Round Top, cheering on the Texas Longhorns, on the beach in Port Aransas delving into a good murder/mystery, developing another fool-proof recipe, or visiting my daughter up at NYU.
