I've been blessed to call Virginia's Piedmont Region home for the last 38 years. I raised my three children here and take great pride in being a contributing member of our vibrant community. My knowledge of the local real estate market, coupled with many local relationships and resources, brings a great deal of value to the clients I serve. After graduating from Virginia Tech, I began my sales career with a Xerox Company where I stayed for nearly twenty years. The skills I developed in that career have proven to be an invaluable foundation for my second career in Real Estate which began in 2016. My clients will tell you I am a good "listener" possessing strong negotiation skills, a disciplined work ethic, and a client-focused approach. I do my best to deliver exceptional service, characterized by integrity, attention to detail, and comprehensive generational knowledge of our local market. Having had a father that served in the Air Force and a son that now serves in the Army, I understand the unique stresses many must face when asked to relocate. I have helped many clients relocate out of state and my experience and hard work can help ease the burden of that transition. Whether representing a Buyer or a Seller, my process relies upon clearly understanding my client's needs and priorities before putting a plan in place to accomplish their goals. If you are a buyer, let me assist you in finding your dream home that is right for you and in the price range you want. Or, if you are interested in selling a property, I have a marketing plan that can assure you of the fastest sale possible at the highest price the market will allow. Real estate is a fast-moving, real-time business, so being available is key. One of the qualities that truly sets me apart is simple but impactful-I answer my phone!
