As a licensed REALTOR® since 2002, I am relationship-driven, not transaction-driven. With a Master’s in Gerontology, I am a senior transition specialist, providing the resources, support, and connections needed to help my clients smoothly enter the next chapter. My approach is personalized and hands-on, overseeing every detail so clients feel secure and well-informed. Supported by a skilled team of professionals, I offer a comprehensive concierge service tailored to each client's needs, including renovations, cleaning, and more. I’m deeply involved in the community and understand the nuances of the different areas here to help you find the perfect fit. Ultimately, my goal is to provide exceptional support and create positive, lasting impacts for everyone I serve here in Montgomery County!
