I’ve been a resident of the Asheville area since 1991, having relocated from NJ and appreciate living here more each day.

My previous career of over 25 years was in the Logistics field, but decided after living here for a while, I needed a new adventure in my life so….

My real estate career began in Asheville, and along the way have earned a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES), Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR), Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), Graduate of The REALTORS Institute (GRI),Accredited Staging Professional (ASP) and NAR Green Sustainable Property designations. I was also the 2008 President of the Western North Carolina chapter of The Women’s Council of Realtors and founding member.

Having a background in log home construction, it seems only natural to specialize in the marketing of existing log and timber frame homes. But, there is such a variety of architectural styles in Asheville, I’ve come to love them all. A few years ago I moved to a maintenance free community that allows me to enjoy my “free” time. From there I have become the resident expert of these types of condos and townhouses. I have shifted my focus on the listing side as a seller’s agent and Suzanne handles the buyers’ side which she excels at.

My clientele is generally the “Baby Boomer” generation that is looking for that special place to call home. I enjoy meeting and working with folks from all walks of life and calling them friends not just clients when it’s all said and done.

Outside of real estate my husband and I enjoy spending time exploring “off the beaten path” places in WNC. I have been involved in our community as a member of the Buncombe County Nursing Home Advisory Council; helping the elderly is near and dear to my heart. We are also the proud pet-parents to three rescue cats- Smokie, Prissy and Coco.
