I have been investing in real estate for more than 30 years. Coming from a teaching background, I believe my clients should be well educated with all financial options before making one of the biggest decisions of their lives. I take pride in helping first time home buyers live the American dream of home ownership and understand that important decisions shouldn't be taken lightly. I have an innate talent in home staging, which will maximize your home's exposure to potential buyers. Thinking of investing? I will find you a "one of a kind deal" and educate you on all your financial options. I have a B.S. degree in Home Economics and am a member of the National, Virginia and Northern Virginia Association of Realtors. I have lived in the Northern Virginia area for 38 years and can't wait to show you why I chose this location to live. I understand the importance of good communication and believe listening is a skill that should be practiced by all real estate professionals. In my free time, I enjoy continuing working with students in the classroom, playing golf and tennis, biking, camping and fishing. My love of people, the desire to educate and my positive attitude towards everyday life are qualities you will enjoy sharing while working with me as "your" personal real estate professional."I am committed to helping you sell and/or find the home ideal for you....to provide personal attention and help to make your transition as smooth and stress-free as possible."
