I'm proud to call Charlotte my home! Having watched it grow from its humble beginnings with a few tall buildings uptown to the Queen City of the South that it is today, I've enjoyed seeing the exciting expansion of housing and commerce while keeping its small-town beliefs! Having raised my children here, they have been exposed to that small-town feel, with the advantages of the big city opportunities. This is what makes Charlotte so unique. I grew up on a farm in the Midwest. Those small-town values that I grew up with and that Charlotte possesses carry over from my family life to my professional life."Your word is your bond". A phrase I live by, both personally and professionally. As a Realtor, my word markets your home, negotiates your contract, repairs and costs. My word assures you of confidentiality, accountability to get the tasks done on a timely basis, as well as, not only provide you with, but explain how material facts will or will not effect your purchase. My word is my bond.My experience as the President and member of several PTO boards, 30 years in the hospitality industry both in sales and event planning, as well as, my charity work equip me with a unique skill set that allows me to take the time to stop and listen to my clients. As a Realtor I strive to make sure my clients receive the "neighborly" respect and assistance they need when seeking either a new home or selling an existing one.I found my home in the real estate industry as it affords me the opportunity to connect with people of all walks of life, which is something I thoroughly enjoy! In my experience working in the hospitality industry I've worked with everyone from Presidential advance teams, to NFL/NBA teams, to the brides-to-be, Broadway Shows and individuals in the entertainment industry . All of this has taught me the importance of being extremely detail oriented; a good listener and working tirelessly to not only achieve the goals of my clients, but surpass them.As a Realtor,
