I have worked in the real estate industry since 1995, with extensive experience in marketing, sales, appraisals, and property valuation. My background includes roles in both sales and appraisal offices, where I supported transactions as an office manager, marketing and sales support professional, and administrative assistant. This broad, hands-on experience has given me a comprehensive understanding of the real estate process from every angle. I have had the privilege of working alongside top-producing real estate professionals throughout Westchester and Putnam Counties, learning from each while developing my own client-focused approach. I am grateful to do work that I genuinely enjoy. My work style is best described as loyal, determined, and client- centered. I place the highest priority on honesty, compassion, and advocacy, recognizing that buying or selling a home is often both complex and emotional. I am committed to keeping clients informed, focused, and confident throughout the process. Whether helping buyers find the right home or assisting sellers in achieving the strongest possible price, I work diligently to ensure a smooth, well-managed transaction. I believe professionalism and approachability go hand in hand, and I strive to reduce stress while maintaining a sharp focus on results and negotiation. I began my career as a real estate appraiser in 1998, a role that continues to strengthen my effectiveness as a salesperson. My appraisal experience provides a strong foundation in valuation, property analysis, and market pricing, offering a distinct advantage when listing homes or advising buyers on competitive offers. Outside of real estate, I value time with my family and friends, all of which I feel are my greatest assets. I have a strong appreciation for all things vintage or antique; you can’t beat the construction quality and detail of old furniture, clothing, or homes. I enjoy cooking, the arts, live entertainment, and creative experiences. I bring a balanced approach to my work—professional, thoughtful, and personable—while remaining focused when it matters most.
