Over thirty years ago, I left Tampa and found my true home in the Ozarks. I was drawn to the natural beauty, affordability, and the safety of small-town life. I settled in Bakersfield and quickly discovered something even more valuable—a welcoming community that accepts you just as you are. After earning my teaching degree from ASU–Mountain Home, I spent over 20 years in the classroom, building relationships with local families and gaining a deep understanding of the values that make this area so special. Now, in my second career, I've joined my husband, Donald, as part of The Burns Team at CENTURY 21 LeMac Realty East. Together, we're passionate about guiding clients through the buying or selling process with honesty, care, and collaboration. Whether you're selling a longtime home or searching for a new beginning, we're here to help you make a confident, informed move—and find a place to call home.
