Realtor profile

Highest-priced home sold: $1,700,000

Most memorable house: One of my clients purchased back her family’s home. Her great-great-grandparents had built the house, but during hard financial times, they were forced to sell the property. Several generations later, she was able to reclaim her family’s original property and create new memories with her own family for years to come. It was such a joyful, nostalgic transaction.

Worst experience: I once listed a home that appeared to be clearly in the hands of one family member. As we got close to settlement, I found out that, in fact, this property was a web of family legal matters, wills, promises and debt. Fortunately, I was able to leverage one of my closest friends and contacts at Paramount Title to work through the issues.
