I moved to Chapel Hill, NC in 2000 with my two younger children who were in high school at the time. I chose Chapel Hill because the schools have such a great reputation. We had lived in many different kinds of communities - Darmstadt and Karlsruhe, Germany, Niamey, West Africa and Belgium. I had been a military spouse and moved 17 times in 21 years. To me, moving is a new adventure. So, it was a natural move to help other people navigate the buying and selling of their homes. In the Army, we had a sponsor, someone that would introduce you to the new community. That is what I do with families that are relocating to the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill). I show you the area, then the neighborhoods, then the house.
From my life as a military spouse, I learned that I could be in a harsh environment but if I have my community, I am happy. I understand why Europeans have castles on hills with people living close together for shopping, visiting and safety. I love Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND), New Urbanism, Smart Growth, and Planned Neighborhoods new and old. I would love to teach Smart Growth to Realtors, builders, buyers and sellers. I am interested in in-fill and downtown revitalization. I support public transportation. I have worked in downtown Raleigh selling condos, RTP selling condos, Chapel Hill selling houses and the Triangle. I tend to sell in new neighborhoods. I start off with the community, then the house. My philosophy is that I ask the questions and educate and the client makes the decisions. I have the GREEN designation, CRS, e-PRO and am working on my GRI designation.
