 As your local full-time professional Realtor®, I am dedicated to helping you achieve your real estate goals through an exceptional, responsive and seamless experience.  I am with you every step of the way to formulate the best strategy and alleviate the stresses that are often associated with what in most cases is life’s largest purchase.  My dozens of 5-star testimonials note my responsive communications, dedication and local Real Estate knowledge.

From the Raleigh area but with my heart in the mountains, I found resolution to this a few years ago by moving to Western North Carolina. Real Estate is my third career having been a musician for many years and then selling technology products to schools and government for over 15 years. With passions for homes and their construction, computer marketing, making friends and more than anything else, taking care of people, Real Estate was a natural destination. As a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer, I embrace technology in today’s market place to help my clients sell their current home or to find their new dream home in the mountains. But while technology is helpful, even necessary today, providing prompt, personal attention is where I excel. Serving Highlands, Cashiers, Sapphire, Scaly Mtn, Franklin, Sylva, and Bryson City along with Northern GA.
