As a Realtor®, I have discovered the best rewards
of this profession come from being in a position to truly help others achieve
their dreams and goals. I’m constantly amazed by the experience of watching and
assisting people live their dream. I love what I do and look forward to sharing
my expertise and passion for real estate with you!
I left the bleak, cold winters of Buffalo, New
York, to attend college in Tulsa, Oklahoma at Oral Roberts University in 1985.
My graduate degree led me to Virginia Beach where I attended Regent University
and graduated in 1991 with an MBA in entrepreneurial studies. Soon after
graduating, I successfully founded a marketing and desktop publishing business
and I later developed a small public utility based in the payphone industry. As
I began to see that the end of payphones was inevitable I sold the business and
acquired my real estate license in 2005.My fascination with real estate started on Sunday
afternoons in the mid 80’s when I often browsed through open houses dreaming
about someday owning one of those new $120,000 custom homes with 3,500+ square
feet. (Don’t we wish the prices were the same….)
Through successful investments, I have become both
a property owner and manager and acquired a wealth of experience as a buyer,
seller, investor, and real estate consultant. I have also had
success assisting many out of town buyers with the unique challenges of
purchasing or selling a home while not living in the area.
In addition to my previous accomplishments, I offer
the following credentials:
- Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR)
- Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource
(SFR)
- Member of the National Association of
Realtors® (NAR)
- Member of the Virginia Association of
Realtors® (VAR)
- Member of the Hampton Roads Realtors®
Association (HRRA)
In my spare time I enjoy boating, auto-crossing my
car, mountain biking, wine-festivals, theater, music and travel. One of my
favorite past-times is discovering hidden treasures at garage sales on weekends
and then finding new homes for them on eBay.
My service region includes Virginia Beach, Norfolk,
Suffolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, Williamsburg
and other outlining communities in the Tidewater area. I have extensive
knowledge of the Ocean View area of Norfolk and the Town Center area of
Virginia Beach where I now reside. What an exciting opportunity to be a
part of the downtown the city of Virginia Beach is creating.
I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you
and investigate your specific real estate needs. Serving as your Realtor® would
be my great privilege and pleasure. Let me invest in your success!
