I work with Sellers who are downsizing and making lifestyle transitions.
I became a Realtor in 2009, inspired by my experience with family members making late-in-life moves.
Over time, I came to realize that these moves are where I can make my greatest contribution.
These transitions are often much more than a real estate transaction, and require a special skill set of understanding and compassion. They are often complicated by mixed emotions, health considerations, a range of family dynamics and a household full of possessions accumulated over a lifetime. I patiently guide sellers through every step of the home-selling process from listing to closing.
As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist and Certified Seniors Housing Specialist, I maintain relationships with senior living communities in the area, as well as professionals who work with sellers to pack up, spruce up, and make the move as easy as possible. I work with move managers who can help you sort, pack and move, and I can coordinate others such as contractors and cleaners--to make your home attractive to its ideal audience. Sometimes simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.
Several years of project management and marketing in the corporate arena, as well as my degree in the social sciences, have contributed to my resourceful, results-oriented devotion to my clients, a firm business ethic, and an unwavering commitment to doing the right thing.
Personal background
I have lived in Chester County for most of my life. I attended Downingtown High School, and Florida State University before settling in the Main Line area for a 28-year career in corporate marketing and information technology. Those years of experience in marketing and project management help my sellers and buyers reach their goals in real estate.
Some kind words from my clients:
"Thank YOU for all the time and energy you put in with us, especially the patience to help us through a successful transaction. I will be recommending you to any one who is thinking of selling their home. It has been such a great experience learning how to sell a house. I know that I definitely would starve if I had to do that, but I would love to have another house in Malvern for you to sell!" [home seller/downsizer]
"Thank you for being so kind, efficient, and a great realtor. Thinking back over the past few months, everything went so smoothly--from the staging to the sale. I attribute all of that to you!" [home seller/downsizer]
"I cannot thank you enough for all your hard work and perseverance through one of the toughest times to move a property. You did a terrific job... Absolutely remarkable." [home seller]"
"Thank you again for all your help for my mom including finding her a great buyer!" (family member of home seller/downsizer)
"Thank you for everything you have done for us--your hard work and patience was deeply appreciated...You made the whole process easy and fun! If we know of anyone looking for a house, we will send them your way! [first-time home buyer]
