My best quality or strength: I've been told that my best quality is my sense of humor and the ability to bring a smile on someone's face. I'm a people person. I enjoy meeting people, understanding their needs, and finding the property that best suits their needs. Patience, a friendly attitude, and professionalism are some of my best strengths.

Why I'm in Real Estate: I had two best friends who were in Real Estate. They seemed to enjoy it; they were successful and their time was flexible. I had been a teacher and a computer analyst and didn't want to continue in either career. I figured if my friends could sell real estate, so could I… It wasn't as easy as it looked, but I soon learned the business and today, I love what I do for a living.  

My Favorite Real Estate Story: When I was a fairly new agent, a young family was relocating to the Valley. We spent quite a bit of time together before we found the perfect home for them. When we did the walk through, prior to closing, the children were picking out their bedrooms and their youngest daughter turned to me and asked which bedroom was going to be mine? I realized then how people open up their hearts to us and let us share such an important part of their lives.

What I Wanted to be When I Grew Up: I was visiting my parents' home and found my sixth grade autograph book. I was reading through it… and it was funny… and there was a question asking what you wanted to be when you grow up. I wrote "salesperson". I meant salesperson in a department store.  It is pretty coincidental; that today, I am a salesperson..

Hobbies & Interests: Being with family & friends, tennis, golf, bridge, shopping, time at the beach reading a good book, quiet evenings at home enjoying a glass of wine and an interesting TV program.
