Work Experience: I've been a realtor for 30 years and a founder/broker/owner of RE/MAX real estate for 24 years.

Why I'm in real estate:It's a personal thrill to get to know my clients, help them to buy and sell, make them happy with their decisions and then be thier friend for life!

Favorite Writer:Maybe not my favorite writer, but Frank McCourt wrote one of the most profoundly memorable books I've ever read, "Angela's Ashes."

Which talent would you most like to have? Singing! I have a great sense of tone, know all the words and love music but I can't carry a tune.

What I do when I'm not selling real estate: Exercise (lots of different kinds), read (I love my book club of 15 years), play golf (I've been a "new" golfer for the past 10 years), spend time with family and friends, dine out, play Mah Jongg, and travel, travel, travel!

Favorite Vacation Spot: Anywhere in the world that my husband and I can go, go , go day and evening and take in all the sights, sounds and culture. I must say, though, Mykanos is pretty special.  

My best quality or greatest strength: My greatest qualities in real estate are my tenacity, follow through and compassion for the wonderful people I work with.
