About the Listing Agent

Real Estate sales and service. After working retail I went to working Marketing and Membership with a Chamber of Commerce helping business grow and build. I have always been in some customer service role. When I started working in real estate I said I didn't want to be bored, they laughed, little did I know then. I've relocated multiple times in my life, across 3 different states and several times within those states so I've always had a desire and joy in helping people new to the area as well.
