I pride myself on being able to handle just about anything that this business throws my way, from first-time buyers to seasoned investors and everything in between. When working with buyers, my ultimate goal is not to "sell" anyone anything; I much prefer to listen and pay attention to your needs and wants and then help you find them. When working with sellers, my goal is to help you prepare your property for an easy sale. My experience has taught me that there are no tricks or gimmicks that are productive. First impressions, timing, effective marketing, and most importantly pricing are what will bring a buyer to the table. Pricing tends to be the most difficult in this market, as the word "comparable" is an oxymoron in The High Country. In most cases, buyers are not shopping for square footage, beds, baths, etc... They are looking for setting, character, & ambiance. My knowledge & experience from living here for two decades helps me to put a value on property that a simple calculation cannot do. Please visit the "Customer Testimonial" page on this site to see what some of my previous clients have to say about me.

If you are headed to the High Country for outdoor recreation, do not hesitate to contact me for places to hike, ride, or ski. With several years managing a local bicycle shop in this area, I have ridden most cycling routes, hiked most of the trails, and ridden my snowboard on all of the local ski mountains.
I have been a full-time REALTOR for the past 19 years and have lived in the High Country for the past two and half decades.
