Experience:

Bought and sold my own home in the last 10 years. I remember how it feels and that memory helps me work harder at making the process as smooth as possible. I was in ministry for 10 years. I know how to listen.

Biography:

I've been married for 30 years to my best friend and love of my life - seriously. I grew up in Utica, moved away and raised my family in Rochester, but returned to the area in 2006. I have 2 sons, 1 daughter (in-law), and 2 gorgeous granddaughters. Travel is a favorite pastime, we don't get to do it often enough. I'd go back to Italy, but want to see The Great Islands and Australia. There's so much to see we tend not to go back to the same place twice!

I graduated from Marywood University, work in the Verona Neighborhood Watch Committee.

Awards:

Coldwell Banker Faith Properties Team Award 2010



As an educator and trainer, I worked with adults and teens, so I relish my role as a buyer's agent in guiding and educating buyers to make their own best decisions. With sellers, I take the time needed to walk through the process and partner with them in achieving their goals.

Real Estate is first and foremost a relationship built on respect which develops into trust. When trust is established, the obstacles to success fall away. I work diligently to earn and retain that trust.

WHY I AM THE BEST CHOICE:

Communication is the hallmark of my business and I work so hard. People who have bought or sold a house through me want that same experience for their friends and family too! Nearly half my business is based on referrals.

I returned to my hometown with a passion for real estate. Focused and direct, my career history makes me perfect for the success orientation of our team. I am a certified home stager and certified buyer specialist providing a full range of services to my clients and customers.
