As a professional, highly experienced real estate broker for more than 25 years, the former Broker-in-Charge of two offices for seven-plus years, and an active member of the National Association of REALTORS® and the North Carolina Association of REALTORS®, I take the time to truly listen to what clients want from the very beginning. I also guide them to consider important details they may not have thought of, helping them make confident, well-rounded decisions.
My husband was a custom-home builder for several years, and our frequent conversations about construction have given me an added layer of insight when evaluating homes. What really sets me apart, though, is my attention to detail - before marketing a home for a seller or preparing an offer for a buyer, I carefully review a plethora of information, including such things as permits, county records, market data, property history, insurance claim history and more, to make every attempt up front to avoid discrepancies, misunderstandings, misinformation or misrepresentation.
In representing buyers, I am known for being calm, thorough, and bull-doggedly persistent. I don’t stop until we find the right home. My clients know I am in their corner from the time of our first meeting through the time they officially own their new home.
In representing sellers, I am known for making their home-selling process as painless, timely and profitable as possible.
My team and I proudly serve the Lake Norman area, including popular towns such as Mooresville, Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Troutman, Statesville, Denver plus the other special nearby towns. Some of my clients have even been known to insist I work with them in other parts of the state, and some have even insisted on having me help them in South Carolina. People I know in other states have also asked me to help find the best agent for them in those areas, because they trust my judgement, experience and network.
