My real estate experience includes both buyer and seller representation, with a focus on single family homes. I have bought and sold my own real estate for investment as well. And, most recently, got into the building aspect of real estate development, creating a custom home with an emphasis on quality and sustainability… things that are important to me. I stay engaged and try to remain up to date on industry changes and serve on two local Association committees, Local Government Relations and the Affordable Housing Committee.
