About

I’m a real estate agent, and I love to write.

I bought my first house in the early 1980’s, when the interest rates were in the teens, and sold it a several years later, walking away from the closing table with a check for $75. I understand sellers in this market. I’ve been there.

Spent a lot of years in corporate America, creating new technology based products and services, traveling extensively. Had a great time, and enjoyed what I did, more than most. Gathered several degrees along the way, too.

Life changes and so do priorities. Brian, my husband (engineer, general contractor, son of an architect) and I invested in properties, renovating them and making them beautiful again, then selling them profitably. Over time, it became obvious that my next step was to become a REALTOR®, which I did in my typical way of doing most anything (110-150%).

I pride myself in being prepared, and in anticipating both challenges and opportunities. My clients benefit from my ability to combine a global, strategic perspective with an attention to detail that is so critical in real estate transactions. At the same time, it’s important to me that my clients and I both enjoy the process of real estate. Yes, it’s a big decision, but we all make better choices when we are relaxed and thinking clearly, so my goal is to provide guidance, be a sounding board, and provide the environment for a more than satisfying real estate sale or purchase.

On a personal note, I just celebrated my 20th wedding anniversary (so cool, and where did the time go?), and have a teen-aged son (with a complex set of challenges and an amazing drive to succeed). I volunteer as much as I can, and wish there was more of me to go around. My current commitments are as Communications Director for the Special Education Parents Advisory Council of Scottsdale, on the Scottsdale Area Association of Realtors and the Arizona Regional MLS Committees, and also as Treasurer of the Scottsdale Sandpiper Home Owners’ Association.

It’s a good life…..
