Business Philosophy/Biography I believe that communication, integrity and reliability are the cornerstones of my successful relationships with my clients as well as in my personal life. Living in Southeastern Ct for 20 years and raising 2 children here has given me the opportunity to guide my clients with confidence. I have been involved in the PTA for the East Lyme school system and volunteered for numerous fundraisers. Having 2 boys in sports has given me a birds eye view of not only my home town, but of all the towns in the surrounding area. I am also the proud parent of an Eagle Scout. Scouting has given me the opportunity to be involved in many different area events & community service. Being in the thread of this community is vital to the real estate business. I love the shoreline and would be honored to help you find your home here too. If by chance you need to leave this area, I am well equipped to market your home for the best results in bringing you a qualified buyer. I truly understand the challenges and emotions associated with buying and selling something as personal as your home. I am also a certified relocation specialist and work with many families relocating through the military or corporate, in and out of the area. I have even "picked out" homes for buyers sight unseen using Skype or facetime, and negotiating the entire process until closing when needed! Whatever I need to do to help your family, please count on me to help you navigate through this journey!. As the quote on my business card reads " I am Always On Your Home Team"!

It was a small town very similar to the East Lyme/Niantic area where I live now with my husband and 2 teenagers for the past 20 years. However, there was a lot in between living in New York and living in CT. 30 years ago, we decided to open up a building business in Cape Cod MA. This lead me into the real estate business. I already was familiar with the home building process since my dad was a builder and my brother is a plumber, and quite frankly I love the building process! I dabbled in real estate while maintaining my career in the Travel Industry, when my husband changed his career path. This change involved a lot of moving, a lot of house hunting and a lot of acclimating to new environments. Now that I am in the Real Estate business full time, I relish the personal experiences along the way. Those stressful moves and adjustments have given me personal reflection in helping you with as smooth a transaction as possible.
