About Me:

I'm a "baby boomer" born in Key West, FL into a career military family. My husband and I live in a rural area near Mt Pleasant, NC; my 91-year-old mother - whose family history in North Carolina dates back to the 1740's - lives with us.   I have four children and five grandchildren, all of whom live in Mecklenburg and Cabarrus counties.  My passions are my grandchildren, gardening/canning, reading and photography, SCUBA, and the wonders of rural living!

I was an entrepreneur in the healthcare industry - after years in x-ray equipment manufacturing, I founded what became a nationally-recognized award-winning mobile mammography program that served women in four southern states. I am a graduate of Leadership Charlotte and a former Charlotte Chamber Entrepreneur of the Year. 

I retired from healthcare in 2005 to pursue a career in real estate and affiliated with RE/MAX Leading Edge in 2007; I've since achieved RE/MAX 100% Club status.  I've also earned a CDPE (Certified Distressed Property Expert) designation and am EcoBroker® Certified - both designations that enable me to work with unique client needs - still fulfilling my lifelong destiny to "make a positive difference" in the world!

What is a CDPE?

"A Certified Distressed Property Expert® (CDPE) is a real estate professional with specific understanding of the complex issues confronting the real estate industry, and the foreclosure avoidance options available to homeowners. Through comprehensive training and experience, CDPEs are able to provide solutions for homeowners facing hardships in today's market, specifically short sales.

The prospect of foreclosure can be financially and emotionally devastating, and often homeowners proceed without guidance of any kind. The developers of the CDPE Designation believe that the best course of action for a homeowner in distress is to speak with a well-informed, licensed real estate professional. They have the tools needed to help homeowners find the best solution for their situation. Often, when other options have been exhausted, CDPEs can help homeowners avoid foreclosure through the efficient execution of a short sale.

While enduring financial difficulties is challenging for any family, the process of finding a qualified real estate professional should not be. Selecting an agent with the CDPE Designation ensures you are dealing with a professional trained to address your specific needs.  CDPEs don't merely assist in selling properties, they serve and help save their clients in need." ...www.distressedpropertyinstitute.com
