"With over 25 years in residential construction and development and vast real estate expertise,
I provide clients a broker who not only understands the emotional importance of 'home,'
but 'home' from the perspectives of structure, aesthetic, investment and potential." Roots in Real Estate and Building

Working for my father's residential construction company from the age of ten, building homes was a natural part of my childhood. I helped out with everything from cleaning up job sites to accompanying my dad on property visits and showings, acquiring a foundation of knowledge that would become a personal and professional passion. Three words that best describe the principles which guide my work in real estate are caring, integrity and tenacity. I am first and foremost a people person, 'caring' about client needs and concerned that their goals and interests are always represented. 'Integrity' means that I not only want what's best for all parties in every transaction, but what's most ethical. 'Tenacity' means I don't give up until we reach success!

I'm so excited to be listing a great home at 40 Fairview Ave in Deerfield with my Aunt Jane. The original owners, from 1979, still live in the home and are ready to downsize to a maintenance free community. This home has been meticulously maintained for almost 50 years. So fun and honored to list with Jane.
