Before relocating to South Carolina, I attended the State University of New York at Cortland where I earned my Bachelors Degree in Kinesiology and an Associates Degree in Psychology. I have been in sales and customer service my entire professional career. An opportunity to excel and exceed expectations by simplifying and streamlining the process, and not adding any unneeded stress.

I work relentlessly to make home buying and selling simple. I believe in good communication with all parties, thereby keeping my clients involved in every aspect of transactions. I have a cutting-edge marketing plan that is sure to set your listing apart. I am equipped to provide assistance with getting your home prepped to sell quickly, making sure you are financially prepared to land the house of your dreams, completing inspections, closing and all the in-betweens. Prior to entering real estate, I have served my community as a nationally certified Maternal Newborn Registered Nurse. I have had the honor of serving in essentially all areas of women’s health throughout the last 13 years, including Labor and Delivery and OBGYN care. I am honored and privileged to be a part of such large milestones; from welcoming newborns to buying first homes, to investing in real estate for retirement and beyond.

Over 25 years of Experience. A lot of real estate agents have 10, 15 or even 20 years in the business but this does not necessarily translate to Experience. My experience comes not from the years, but from handling over 650 transactions for over $200 Million in transactional volume. Sometimes an agents experience is not enough because they have a lot of experience in one type of real estate transaction. My 650+ trips to the closing table include Residential (with over 50 homes sold for $400k plus), Commercial, Investment Properties, land tracts, sub-division lots, new construction, rehabs, lakefront, downtown, condos, mobile homes........Experience!!!

I have been licensed since 1978 and a Realtor since 1980 all in the Columbia, SC, area. I look forward to helping you with your real estate needs.
