How did you get started in real estate? I held my first open house when I was 12. Really! I am a second-generation Realtor who has enjoyed seeing this business change with technology. Back in the “old days” our Multiple Listing System (MLS) system consisted of 8 1/2-by-11-inch printouts that we’d cut into quarters and file in a shoe box. Boy, have times changed for the better. Today, I have access to all of the listings in my area and beyond via my cell phone. I simply adore modern technology!

How long have you been with the current company? I have been associated with McEnearney since October 2006. Prior to this, I was the broker for Realty Group 100, a boutique firm in Falls Church.

Licenses and designations: associate broker license, Virginia; graduate, Realtor Institute; accredited buyer representative (ABR), seller representative specialist (SRS) and e-Pro

Associations: Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council (REBAC), Northern Virginia Association of Realtors, Virginia Association of Realtors, National Association of Realtors

Awards: National Association of Realtors’ Multi-Million Dollar Sales Club

Greatest accomplishment in the past 12 months: Knowing that 50 percent of my business in 2008 was assisting clients with their first home purchase. While I work with clients in all stages of homeownership and all price ranges, there is a special satisfaction in helping clients capture their dream of owning a home.

Highest-priced home sold: $950,000
