My Personal Journey
My interest in real estate was piqued when I found my husband and me the home in a choice neighborhood, close to civilization and yet snuggled in a resort like enclave. It was a plot of land being developed where only ten homes were being built and it checked all our boxes. I had come back to Northern Virginia after a couple of years in Michigan and happened upon this home site. I had acted as a buyer’s agent for my husband who was skeptical about this prospect at first. But with perseverance, diligent follow up and a commitment to moving forward, it became our home and a sweet and success story. This inspired me to get a real estate license in Virginia and so began my foray into real estate. I have had the good fortune to help clients buy their homes where I have seen them leading happy and fulfilled lives.
What I love about being a Realtor is making people’s dreams come true. With my background in law, I bring my professionalism to my dealings, an ability to provide relevant information succinctly, keep my clients on track and negotiate exclusively on their behalf. As a certified coach(iCoach2inspire.com), I bring my listening skills, listening not just to their spoken words but to what is not being said in order for them to find just what they really want. It is my sincere desire to continue to serve my clients to the best of my ability and deliver results no matter what.
