After consulting and software/database programming, I decided to pursue my real estate career full-time...and never looked back! While there are days that I sincerely miss programming, it can never take the place of the satisfaction I feel when I help a family find their new home. I have always had a fascination with houses. Before I was licensed, I would often spend my spare time visiting model homes in the area and going to home-buying seminars. My education and previous experience as a consultant is the foundation for my success as a Realtor.

My business degree laid the groundwork for real estate. I have extensive knowledge and training in Economics, Accounting, Computer Technology, Marketing, Finance, and Management. Transitioning from corporate/government consulting to real estate consultant was very smooth. I have always been in a ‘people' atmosphere, and my technical skills help me when I work with both buyers and sellers!

Over the years, I have helped many families in Northern Virginia buy and sell homes. Locally, I have helped renters become first-time homebuyers, and then move-up buyers. And I have helped sellers with their cross-country moves when the time came for them to leave the area. My past clients continuously reward me with referrals of friends, neighbors, family members, and other co-workers. That is the greatest compliment that I can receive.

I get my thrills from helping first-time home buyers, military families, and people relocating to the Washington DC metropolitan area.  It's a pricey area, and after doing real estate for 10 years, I've noticed the consistency in appreciation that I receive from these core clients.  Anyone looking to buy or sell in Northern Virginia (including Alexandria, Arlington, Falls Church, Springfield, Fairfax, Lorton, Woodbridge) and Washington DC, would greatly benefit from my services.

Here's what some of my past clients had to say...

I look forward to her unchallenging commitment.

I look forward to her unchallenging commitment in our quest to purchase another home and am confident that she will be there every step of the way with the kind of professionalism we have come to expect from her.

K. and G. Pollard, Woodbridge

I was made to feel important during the entire process.

" I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and tell you how pleased I was with the great service you provided. Starting with our first contact through closing, I was given expert advice, information, suggestions, and constant support.

You understood exactly what I was looking for in my first home purchase and with this understanding; you worked hard to find a house which met all my needs and desires. It was a pleasure working with you and I look forward to working with you in the future. Because of the great service and professionalism you exhibited, I will not hesitate to recommend you to my friends and co-workers looking for a truly professional real estate agent."

C. Nunley, Lorton

We would definitely recommend you to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in Northern Virginia.

We would like to extend a warm and heart-felt thank you for all of the hard work you did for us. It's amazing when I look back at the timeline, how quickly everything happened. We met for the first time around mid-July, you put my condo up for sale and got a contract around mid-August, then you found us the exact type of house we wanted and we settled mid-September! That's amazing! And thank you so much for the beautiful pictures on CD of our home!

K. and Z. Walker, Alexandria

Thanks for all your help!

It was a pleasure to work with you again. As usual, your professionalism, compassion, and enjoyment in your work, makes your clients feel at ease.

J. Fisher, Woodbridge (Repeat Client)

We can't thank you enough for all that you've done!

Thank you very much for your thoughtful and generous house warming gift. You have been an integral part of our homebuying experience from start to finish, and we can't thank you enough for all that you've done!

L. and T. Hynson, Woodbridge

Your professionalism was super!

I always knew what was going on because you supplied complete lists of what to expect. Your estimate of my proceeds was accurate and you handled all problems with a wonderful calm. I will definitely recommend you to everyone.

C. Rodriguez, Dumfries
