My real estate career started many years ago when I was a real estate paralegal in several law firms, in Sarasota FL and Honolulu, HI.  Business is also in my background, with many years as a Controller, ownership of a feed and western wear store, and a business raising and selling horses in Sarasota FL.  Soon after relocating from Hilo HI to Maggie Valley NC in late 2006, I obtained my North Carolina Real Estate License, and am proud to be affiliated with COLDWELL BANKER Kasey & Associates in Waynesville NC.  I have no husbands and no children, enabling me to be completely devoted to my career and my clients.  It would be my pleasure to be of assistance to you.
