With over a decade of experience in real estate sales and nearly three decades in homebuilding, renovation, and project management, I bring a wealth of practical knowledge to every transaction. I've overseen nearly $50 million in closed sales, with properties ranging from $100,000 to nearly $2 million. My approach to real estate is thoughtful and data-driven, a perfect complement to my formal training as a meteorologist and educator. Before becoming a licensed Realtor, my spouse and I built spec homes, renovated, and sold homes throughout Fairfield and New Haven counties. Prior to becoming a licensed Realtor, I actively worked with my spouse in our local real estate market, having constructed, renovated, and sold speculative homes across Fairfield and New Haven counties. This experience provides me with a real-world understanding of construction quality, renovation costs, pricing strategies, and long-term value—insights I use to help clients feel secure and confident in their buying or selling decisions. I prioritize clear and open communication about costs, potential investments, and opportunities to avoid any surprises. As a former meteorologist and science teacher at both the secondary and post-secondary levels, I bring a strong analytical ability to studying market trends, comparable sales, timing, and neighborhood dynamics. This allows me to develop effective pricing and negotiation strategies tailored to each property. My expertise extends beyond the transaction itself to encompass zoning regulations, taxes, education, community planning, and resale considerations through detailed cost and benefit analyses, helping clients make informed decisions that support their immediate needs and long-term goals.
Clients find me to be honest, approachable, and easy to work with. My communication skills come from my background in education and working with diverse individuals. This experience helps me explain complex topics clearly, anticipate questions, and guide clients confidently. I believe that the best decisions are made with clear information and open communication. I offer a supportive, low-pressure approach while remaining focused and effective when advocating for my clients. I approach every transaction with a fiduciary responsibility, always prioritizing my clients’ best interests and guiding them toward the best possible outcome.I appreciate the opportunities I’ve received; my primary motivation has been to work diligently and assist others. This dedication has provided me with many reasons to be grateful throughout my career.
