Life seems to have a way of throwing you a curve ball just when you think everything is the way you had envisioned it and forever changing the path you thought you were going down. Because of my divorce in 1997, I no longer had my hobby farm and my horses. My dream home & the life I thought I wanted were crumbling in front of me, leaving me lost in the wake of shock and confusion. Who would have thought that becoming a single mom, bankruptcy, and foreclosure would make me who I am today? Taking what life gave me I let my path evolve. In 2002, I remarried & decided I wanted to find my next dream home. Then it came to me that becoming a Real Estate agent would help me accomplish my own goals and provide me with the resources to help other women and every client make their dreams come true too.

My life experiences give me a unique understanding of the challenges of being a home buyer, seller, and businesswoman while still handling life events. I want to bring this knowledge not only to women but everyone I work with by becoming their advocate and key resource in making sure their home-owning dreams come true at whatever stage of life they are in and that when selling you have a partner through it all.

My credentials range from being an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES), Military Relocation Specialist (MRP), e-Pro Certified, REO Certified, serving on the Professional Standards Committee, teaching home buying seminars. I specialize in bringing people together & also create a comfortable and professional environment with all my buyers and sellers.
