More Than a Home: Your Sanctuary and Investment
For over two decades, I've dedicated myself to guiding clients through the intricate world of real estate, where every transaction is more than just a deal—it's a step toward finding your sanctuary and making a sound investment. My journey in this ever-evolving industry has been driven by a passion for connecting people with their ideal homes and investment opportunities.
Specializing in new construction for the past eight years with one of Richmond's top builders, I've forged invaluable partnerships and gained insights that give my clients a distinct advantage. This experience, coupled with a deep understanding of market trends, allows me to bring a personalized touch to every real estate journey.
My roots span across several great places I've been fortunate to call home. I was born and raised in Montgomery County, Maryland, with cherished memories of family retreats in the mountains of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. At 18, I moved to South Carolina for college and went on to spend 13 years living in the Palmetto State, three years in the coastal charm of Murrells Inlet, followed by a decade in the vibrant Upstate of Greenville. In 2008, I relocated to the Richmond area, first settling in North Chesterfield for 13 years before moving to Short Pump, where my partner Allen and I bought a home together in 2021.
Together, we have a lively family of five: Kathleen, 23, an Auburn University graduate working in marketing for a real estate firm in Alabama; Garrett, 22, a Project Manager in commercial construction; Ashur, 20, a baseball player at Barton College; Quinton, 17, who plays baseball atGodwin High School; and Kylie, 14, our budding thespian and future Dr. at Godwin High. Completing our family are Charlie, our Aussiedoodle, and Murphy, our Boxer!
Beyond transactions, my commitment lies in building lasting relationships based on trust, integrity, and personalized attention. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a seasoned investor, or a homeowner ready to make a move, your goals become my mission. Your dream property is out there, and I'm here to help you find it and make it your reality!
