Get to know all about me

My goals

My job is to guide, enlighten and protect my clients. For my sellers I strive to get my listings sold for the highest possible price, in the shortest possible timeframe and with the least amount of stress for the client. For my buyers, my goal is to locate and successfully negotiate a property that meets their day-to-day needs and desires as well as one that is a sound financial investment. For each, I am committed to disclosing everything that they would want to know and protecting their confidentiality at all times. I have long term relationships and friendships with many of my clients which greatly enriches the fabric of my life.

My values

I consider the bedrock of my long career to be integrity. This means putting the client's needs first. It also means growing trust and relationships with colleagues in the field. I offer honesty, knowledge, creativity, and dedication. It's not good enough to merely satisfy clients. I strive to "WOW" them. The passion I feel for my work makes it easy to stay true to this vision. I also value the idea of doing good when I do well. My sucess has allowed me to create my ShelterLess Program whereby I tithe to a homeless shelter $250 with each transaction . LEARN MORE

How did it all begin?

This is my story

Coming of age in the early 1970s, I loathed the idea of having anything to do with sales. I became a teacher. I taught in inner-city Boston during the strife-filled period of court ordered “bussing”. There were metal detectors at the school’s entrance and National Guardsmen in the halls. I worked hard with few resources and overcrowded classes yet it seemed I never garnered any appreciation for my dedication in the classroom. At that time, my husband and I were renting a sweet apartment but we couldn’t have a garden. I couldn’t fix up the place. The landlord was not a kind man. All this frustration drove us to buy a little house just up the street. I became a homeowner at the age of 26. My baby was born a few months later in our new home. I never looked back and have been a homeowner ever since. I loved that little house, changed the wallpaper, planted a garden, and dedicated myself to meeting my neighbors and contributing to the town. I raved to everyone about home ownership. I eventually gave up teaching to become a Realtor. I continued to proselytize about the benefits (spiritually, socially, philosophically, and financially) of homeownership. I am called a real estate “salesperson” but I have never thought of myself as being in “sales” and I still don’t after 43 years in the field. For both my sellers and buyers, I truly operate as a consultant or advisor. I’m still teaching!

It gives me great joy to share my clients' post-closing reviews. I treasure the time I have spent with these people and am so proud to have participaed in such a major decision.

I wear many hats

My hats, my abilities, and my interests have changed over the years. But the constant in my life for the past 43 years has been waking up every day with enthusiasm for my chosen profession - helping my clients attain their dream of either purchasing or selling a property and moving on to THEIR new era. It never gets boring or tiresome. Actually, it just keeps getting better! So, I'll continue waking up every morning and putting on my Realtor hat. And for this I am grateful.

My Mission

Your goals are my goals
  • By prioritizing my clients' goals over everything, success is insured. Understanding each client's unique needs and desires allows me to provide suggestions and personal solutions that exceed their expectations. From my initial "Focus Quiz" through feedback and honest communication, we navigate what could have been a difficult process.
for my seller clients
  • I treat each listing as if it is my own personal property. I dedicate myself to discovering what is truly unique and special about each of my listings and then work to relay this in my marketing.
for my buyer clients
  • I do everything possible to help buyers acquire a property that is both a great home and a sound financial investment. Sometimes this means we work together for a very long time and that is just fine with me.
taking the stress out of the process
  • Realizing that my clients lead busy lives, I strive to save them time and energy while eliminating potential stress. I go the extra mile to take care of all the details and guide my clients smoothly to the closing table.
