 Rent vs. Buy

Since early 1991 I have enjoyed helping people get to the place where they are meant to be. Whether finding you the perfect spot at the right price or setting you up to move on from the old digs to make space for your future, I am here. There are many real estate agents, choose the agent that is the right match for you. Let's see if we are a good fit.

What you can expect when we work together:

Frequent contact with the amount of detail that suits you. I am a social scientist: utilizing keen verbal, written and intuitive means to make sure you know what is going on and that I get your message. A team approach, including referrals to a host of experts for all the inspections, repairs, etc. that may come up as you buy or sell your property. Honesty-- if I don't know the answer I will find it. Patience with sensitive souls, first timers, nest emptyers and most others. I am a research queen - Google is just the tip of the iceberg. I love to figure out answers to new questions. I am an email and internet fiend.

A ton of experience... 

Compatibility is a key to your comfort level. It should be enjoyable to buy or sell a home. I am very casual, yet professional. I live and play in the areas where I work and love to share favorite spots with clients.  Oh, and expect to have a very good time!
