About Me

Buying or selling a home is one of the most significant financial decisions you’ll make,
and it requires experience, discipline, and a clear strategy. As a REALTOR® with
Navigate Realty in the Raleigh area, I bring nearly 45 years of sales experience and
over a decade in real estate to guide clients through the process with structure,
precision, and confidence from start to finish.

I’ve personally moved 18 times, which means I understand firsthand what it takes to
buy, sell, and relocate without unnecessary stress. That experience shapes how I work.
I anticipate issues before they surface, manage the details that matter, and keep
transactions moving efficiently from contract to close. It’s why I’ve consistently been
recognized as a top producer—I know how to navigate the market and execute.

My background in association leadership and real estate marketing gives me a strategic
advantage when it comes to negotiation, positioning, and execution. I’ve worked with
everyone from first-time buyers to luxury and relocation clients, and my philosophy has
always been simple: it’s not about the agent—it’s about the outcome. I communicate
clearly, stay disciplined, and see things through.

Clients often tell me they feel supported and confident throughout the process. Whether
we’re problem-solving, adjusting strategy, or closing a major milestone, my role is to
keep things organized, informed, and moving forward.

Being part of Navigate Realty allows me to offer the best of both worlds: boutique,
personalized service backed by strong systems, modern tools, and a firm that values
doing things the right way. That combination gives my clients a clear edge in today’s
market.

When I’m not working, my favorite roles are being a mom to two grown kids and a
grandmother to four amazing grandkids. And when I can sneak away, you’ll usually find
me on a pickleball court—it keeps me sharp, competitive, and focused. That same
mindset shows up in how I advocate for my clients.

If you’re looking for an agent who is experienced, direct, and fully committed to
execution, I’d welcome the opportunity to work with you and make your next move a
smart one.
