Why do you enjoy being an agent? 

As a long time entrepreneur I became a real estate agent because I like working with clients one-one. I am able to guide, support, and educate clients to get them to “their” finish line. Helping people find a house and turn it into a home, where their next chapter begins, is uplifting, positive, and heartwarming. More for me, I believe, than my clients. That’s why I enjoy being a real estate agent.

What can you tell us about you?

I like to travel and explore, especially New York state. The Adirondacks and the Finger Lakes are a favorite place to play in the water and hike on a variety of trails. We learn so much about the areas when we come upon local businesses and restaurants. Activity is the hub of family get togethers. It consists of boating, winter sports, and yard games. We take part in events such as 5K’s, half marathons, and triathlons to name a few. I appreciate NY’s 4 seasons and my favorite is winter.

What sets you and your business apart from other agents?

My real estate goal is making sure my clients feel supported before, during, and long after closing.
