As a Michigan transplant I have a unique perspective on our area. I didn’t grow up here, or even in the state. I’ve had to learn on my own all the things that make Monroe County special and my outsider perspective gives me a unique view on what this area has to offer. I chose to move here, and I’ve come to love the geographical diversity of Southeast Michigan; from beaches, to farm fields, to wetlands and woods. I’ve learned how friendly Michigan is for people who love nature and the outdoors, and if that’s you, we’ll get along great. My husband and I both love being outdoors, hiking with our dogs, biking, and have enjoyed exploring all Michigan has to offer.

When we purchased our first home, it was undoubtedly a stressful experience, particularly for me, coming from another state. As a real estate agent, my mission is to alleviate that stress by prioritizing clear communication, impeccable organization, unwavering honesty, and a transparent guide through the intricacies of the buying or selling process. My inherent creativity shines in my specialty of staging homes and recognizing the beauty in properties that may otherwise go unnoticed. In my spare time, I indulge in refinishing furniture for a local shop, aspiring to do the same for homes – to help clients showcase their homes at their absolute best to attract potential buyers or envision their homes' untapped potential.

Clear communication tops my list of priorities when working with clients. My aim is for clients to feel secure and confident in their decisions to buy or sell their homes. I am dedicated to unwavering honesty, even if the outcome is less than ideal. My goal is to ensure that no one regrets a real estate decision due to undisclosed details. All communication with me will be forthright and transparent.

Showcasing your home in its best potential is my specialty. I will help you stage or set your home to attract more buyers and get you the best sale price.

Have an unordinary circumstance? Maybe you are moving to another state or country, or you are looking for a home to house more than just your family. Whatever the circumstance, I will work with you, and for you, to find the property that fits your needs. Staging and showcasing a property is my area of expertise and sometimes a well staged home can significantly increase the sale price. If you need help in the staging aspect of your home, just ask and I'll make it happen.

Families and houses are unique and no two are the same. With clear and open communication I will get to know you better and find out exactly what your dream home looks like.

Real estate transactions are often associated with high stress levels, but my mission is to minimize that stress as much as possible. Together, we will navigate the buying or selling process in a way that aligns with your needs.

I also strongly value supporting local businesses, and I have a network of trusted local professionals who can assist with home repairs if needed.
Real Estate transactions are legally binding and the paperwork needs to be filed correctly to protect buyers and sellers. It is my job to make sure the paperwork is done correctly and I will assist my clients by clearly communicating what is needed of them to make a transaction close.
