In 2003, I moved to the Western Slope of Colorado after a very rewarding career in advertising which spanned for 23 years. With my professional experience in advertising, I decided to get involved in the real estate market and be a different kind of realtor. In 2005, I earned my Real Estate License and worked in Delta County for three (3) years getting to know the area. In 2008, I obtained my Managing Broker's License and opened Deer Creek Village Realty. When you choose me as your personal professional REALTOR, I have set my goals to make buying or selling your property as stress-free as possible. I am there every step of the way to inform you of what is taking place throughout the process.
