I met and married a Midwestern boy from Missouri, and in 2017 we put down some permanent roots when we bought our first home in Knoxville. My background is in the legal field, where I worked for for 14 years as a paralegal/legal assistant and volunteer mediator. My experience allows me to provide my clients with an expertise in understanding complex real estate contracts and negotiations. I absolutely love my job as a Realtor - I get to meet new people and learn their stories, I get to serve them and help them navigate one of the biggest financial decisions of their life, and I get to keep in touch and watch them love and grow in their new space. I take a different approach to selling real estate. I'm not salesy or pushy. I'm here to help and guide you, not force you into something. My #1 goal is your happiness and satisfaction! Whether you are a first time home buyer, a family that needs to upsize or downsize, or a seasoned real estate investor, I'm ready to join you wherever you are on your real estate journey! When I'm not helping people buy or sell real estate I enjoy traveling anywhere and everywhere, exploring new places around East Tennessee - especially all the great restaurants, breweries, and walking trails - with my husband (Jason) and dog (Ace). I also enjoy visiting friends and family back in the Midwest, working with my non-profit feeding program in Haiti (Manje Mirak Inc. - "Miracle Meals"), amateur photography, and catching up on a good show, or reading a good book.
