About Me

I am a native Mainer with over 17 years of experience in real estate brokerage. While I bring a portfolio of very advanced technology skills, strong negotiating savvy, cutting-edge marketing expertise, and superior overall real estate knowledge, the most important thing you need to know about me is how much I really care about my clients. I always put their comfort and happiness at the top of my priorities... before, during, and after the sale. I want all my clients to walk away feeling that they got the best guidance, support, and protection during their real estate transaction. After all, the happier they are, the more likely they are to recommend me to their friends and family, and to call me again when it's time for them to buy or sell their next home. When I first heard about the HomeFundIt program, I was so excited! What a great way to help first-time homebuyers! I also teach a Home Buying Seminar to help you get started. My classes are FREE and will give you a detailed plan for how to make your dream of home ownership a reality. Please message me if you or someone you know is interested in the class.

Realtor Disclaimer: More about me: Throughout my career, I have held many roles beyond selling homes and land. I have mentored and coached new agents, developed training programs for real estate companies, and even helped write a textbook. I have been the Marketing Director for two real estate companies, and held the position of Managing Broker for three companies, including eXp Realty. Several local and national title and mortgage companies often call on me to fill in for their closing attorneys. This has given me additional insight into lending and title issues. The extensive knowledge I've accumulated over the years has proven extremely helpful to my clients.
