Greatest accomplishment in the past 12 months: Continually increasing my production and retention of previous clients/customers while remaining active in the community and serving on the board and many committees within the real estate community.
What is your area of specialty? Montgomery County
Highest-priced home sold: $1,295,000
Most memorable house: I listed the Rockville historic property known as “The Painted Lady.” This home had been featured in books and magazines and extensive research for my fact sheet was aided by the historic societies in the area.
Worst experience: Being sued as a listing agent. The house was in an estate and the suit was over the presumed illness caused to the buyers due to formaldehyde. It was thrown out of court.
