I'm a third generation local with over 20 years of Broker/Realtor experience in the NC High Country, with a special connection and conviction to our unique area and to those who shape it. My mission is to create successful and memorable client experiences as I serve with the same fervor and care my roots passed on to me. Integrity, trust, old fashioned hard work, and unwavering ethics are characteristics I bring to every transaction. I carry generations of local knowledge and inspiration to what drives my career: Excellence in long-term client relationships and a desire to preserve and share these gorgeous mountains that have been home to my family and me for over a hundred years. I possess a strong professional background marked with healthcare and real estate expertise, steadfastness, and invaluable local market knowledge. I enjoy serving buyers and sellers with a focus on residential properties; My expertise ranges from guiding first-time homebuyers to partnering in multi-million dollar and international transactions. I create superior service by teaching clients the importance of our unique market and the abundant opportunities that are alive, even when not highly visible. For each client, I am an educator, friend, fierce business partner, advocate, and passionate assistant. Nothing brings me greater satisfaction than empowering clients to chase their dreams hard, defeat discouraging moments through creative ideas and strong negotiation skills, and by nourishing a partnership that will last long after the transaction.
