Biography 

I love my career as a real estate agent!

I have had several careers through the years and being in the real estate business is my favorite!

My first career was with IKEA. I started with the company working part-time and was promoted to store manager with in 5 years. The culture at IKEA, from the owner all the way through every co-worker in the company, was that everyone plays an integral part of every success. I apply that philosophy to my real estare career - everyone plays an integral part in every successful transaction. 

My next career was as a licensed stock broker. I worked with the branch manager at Burns Fry, assisting in the management of client's investment portfolios. I was also involved in hiring and training new stock brokers. Exemplary customer sevice and excellent communication skills were required to succeed in this career. I honed these skills while working as a stock broker and have applied them to my career in real estate. 

For several years I chose to not work full time. I was able to stay at home and raise our 4 children and manage our very busy household! I volunteered during these years and was involved in many of my children's activities, never a dull moment! 

When my children were older it was now time for me to follow a life long desire -- to become a Realtor. I thouroughly enjoy working with my clients, to sell their homes and help them find a new one. Every day I meet new people and new challenges and I love it!

I understand that selling your home is going to be one of the largest transactions in your life. I will use various marketing strategies for your home and negotiate the top sale price for you. The majority of my business comes from my past clients. Their referrals are the best endorsements I can receive. Please take a moment and read the testimonial section on my website. 

Since obtaining my real estate license I am continually updating my skills by taking courses and additional training. I have taken the following courses and received these designations:
