My clients have described me as a creative problem solver, an expert negotiator, accessible, honest and trustworthy. My peers would probably add tough (but fair) negotiator, consistent top producer, and respected. These are more than words, they are the result of more than nineteen years of hammering out the best deals for my clients using principle-based negotiating skills and a keen sense of customer service. I love real estate, especially the part of helping my clients achieve their goals.
I am a firm believer in always learning so that my clients benefit from the latest information and technology. As such, I earned the Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR), Luxury Home Marketing Specialist – Million Dollar Guild, Certified Relocation Specialist, and Certified Skilled Negotiator designations. Over the years, I have been a top producer within my company, even being named the number one agent. Since starting my real estate career, I have assisted more than 800 clients achieve their goals. While the awards and accolades are nice, my most important goal of exceeding my client's expectations is earned every day and one at a time.
I specialize in Atlanta's historic neighborhoods such as Ansley Park, Brookhaven, Buckhead, Candler Park, Decatur, Inman Park, Midtown, Morningside, Old 4th Ward, Piedmont Heights, Upper Westside and Virginia-Highland. However, I grew up in Dunwoody and enjoy supporting the northern perimeter area with expertise in Dunwoody, Marietta, Sandy Springs and Smyrna and Vinings.
On a personal note, I am in a thirty-year relationship, and we are both so thankful that our two Airedale Terriers allow us to live with them! I earned a Bachelor of Arts – Fine Arts with a major in drawing and painting and a minor in graphic design from Millersville University in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. This background allows me to help my clients, and potential buyers of my listings, not only what is, but also what could be with any property…and is the basis for an avid interest in collecting art. Other interests include enjoying great food and fine wines, working out (currently a recovering tennis addict), and centering myself through yoga.
