Starting over in a new place is something I’ve done many times. But after years of transfers, including time spent in Europe, we got the opportunity to choose where we wanted to live. We started our search in Phoenix, Arizona and ended up in western NC! Why did we choose this area? The weather for one, which is a little bit of this and a little bit of that. By the time you are tired of the current season, it is time for it to change! Then there are the mountains� it’s a real luxury to start the day with a good cup of coffee and a gorgeous view! We love the country life and when we want shopping and cultural offerings, the cities are close by. And they are blessedly far away when we just want to relax.

I studied management sciences and my background in statistics and analysis led me first to real estate appraisal. That’s a plus for my clients. As a listing agent, I can help you price your sale so it will not just be listed but will get SOLD. As a buyer’s agent, I can help you get the property you love at a price you will be happy with.

Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too? The Lake Lure area offers many flavors and it is my pleasure to help you find the slice you want.

I also like to garden, preserve food and make jams. I totally enjoy having friends and relatives over and having get-togethers.

My husband is a home builder and I enjoy watching as the house is taken from the ground all the way to the finished product. It is very helpful to me as a Real Estate Broker to know all the phases of building a house. I also keep the books for my husband’s business and understand the involved costs.

I have two goals as a Real Estate Broker, and REALTOR®: 1) Help buyers achieve their real estate dreams and goals by staying up to date on available listings and 2) Help sellers get the results they are looking for by marketing their property based on my firsthand knowledge of what our community has to offer and what is unique about the property. Thank you for your time and trust.

I have real estate experience spanning more than three decades in five states. I know what it’s like to leave familiar surroundings, friends and jobs behind and the steps it takes to get there.

Whether it takes creative financing, exhaustive hunting or being in the right place at the right time, I have put buyers and sellers together with the properties they wanted at prices that made everyone happy. When nothing is left to chance, that experience can be a very pleasant one. I like to leave nothing for "Murphy" to mess up.

I like to work WITH people, not against them, foresee problems before they have a chance to arise and thereby resolve them before they become an issue. After a decade in Polk County and a lifetime traveling the country, I have just the background to make each and every transaction I handle one of efficiency, comfort and thoroughness. Life is too short to settle for anything less.

With 11 years of real estate experience including $70,000,00 in sales, I will provide you solid full-time agent assistance in your property search requirements. Secondly, you will be provided with professional advice and education to help you in your decision process. Use my years of experience to the fullest.
