Having lived all over the U.S. (the upper Midwest, New England, the Pacific NW, and Texas) I have a comprehensive understanding of regional geographical differences, subtle personal and professional nuances, and the unique perspectives that that agents, buyers and sellers bring.  I work with clients to do what it takes to serve you, buyers and sellers successfully, no matter where they come from, where they are, or where they're going.

As a Virginia resident by choice, I understand both locals and those clients new to the Commonwealth.    My customers refer me to friends and family because I remove the veil of mystery surrounding real estate transactions, and give them all the details they need to make rational decisions during, what for many people can be, a stressful and unsure time.

Are you an out-of-area Agent?

With over 20 years of domestic and international negotiation experience, a flair for helping my clients be smart and successful, call on me for sound advice about Central Virginia real estate.  As referral source for your best clients, I can help you look like the hero you really are.
