I am originally from Gary Indiana, (please don't sing the song) and attended college at both Purdue and Indiana University.

After college I moved to the San Francisco Bay area where I received my license in 1984 and started my career in real estate. In 1990 I was reading a magazine that listed Austin Texas as one of the top 3 places to live based on: beautiful hill country, low unemployment, good economic growth, low crime, excellent schools, and best of all...affordable housing. I could hardly wait to get here.

I became a Texan in 1991 and starting selling Texas real estate. I earned my Brokers license in 1999. I live in Austin with my husband Brian, son Skyler & our fuzzy kids Gizmo & Truffles. I enjoy hiking, camping, biking, boating, live music, making jewelry, crafts, being a Cub Scout Den Leader, and being with friends and family.

There are so many things that I love about Austin. If you are new to the area and want some great places to visit, I'd be happy to share my list of fun things to do with you. Beware, it's a long list.

Why I Sell Real Estate?

I love working with people and helping them achieve their dreams and goals. Each person or family is special and unique and so is each home. There's nothing better than finding that special home for someone and helping to make their dreams come true. There's a saying I love that says: "A house is built with sticks and beams a home is built with love and dreams."

Why Hire Me To Sell Your House?

I get results! My goal is to sell your home for the highest price that I can. One of the ways I achieve that is by hiring a professional stager as part of my services to you. U.S. housing & Urban Development reports that a staged home will sell, on average, 17% higher than an un-staged home. It will sell faster too. It's all in the details. I use professional quality pictures of your home in various types print and web media to insure that your home gets a wide variety of exposure in the market. Staying in touch and informed is important. I follow up with every showing and provide feedback to you on a regular basis. I am there every step of the way until your home is sold.

Why Hire Me To Help You Find A Home?

I try to get to know and understand your needs, lifestyle, and what is important to you, so that I can help you find a home that is perfect for you.

Once we have found your home, I will provide you with a history of recent sales, appreciation values and pertinent neighborhood information. I also research the area for underground gas lines and flood plains etc...so that there are no hidden surprises. I will represent your best interests, always..

My Most Rewarding Experience.

The friendships and connections I have made along the way have been the most rewarding part of my career. I have been fortunate to have had many wonderful folks to work with.

The icing on the cake, is having a friendship that persists long after the sale. Most of my business comes from referrals. The best compliment someone can give me is to refer me to their friends and family.

Please let me know if I can be of service to you.
