What do you love about real estate? “The dynamic marketplace, interesting product and even more interesting people! The challenge of bringing great people and great opportunities together is an absolute thrill for me ... every day!” What would you like potential clients to know about you? “I think the most important part of working with clients in real estate is listening. You have to understand exactly what your clients want, need, motivators and be able to act on those accordingly. Having a strong team in place is also critical—escrow, title, lender, stager and social media expert are all crucial to a successful transaction, and I have the BEST!” What do you like to do for fun when you’re not at work? “When I am not working on a real estate transaction, you will find me skiing, SCUBA diving, waterskiing, reading a book on the beach or on a walk with my Standard Poodle!”
