I have been helping clients buy and sell real estate for over 20 years which was when I decided to pursue my 2nd career. With my technology background, I am able to utilize the latest technologies to maximize the market appeal of the homes I sell and to make it easier and faster to find the home that they want to buy. I have attended both Virginia and National Association of Realtor conferences (VAR and NAR) throughout the United States and am an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR). I love working with people and find that real estate provides me the unique experience to participate in one of their most exciting purchases.
