Turning dreams into reality and clients into friends is my measure of success! As your professional real estate agent, I will bring all my experience, energy, and skills to meet your needs and home buying or selling goals.

I’ve always had a love for craft and how its heritage is rooted in this region, so it was here that I launched my successful pottery business. I developed a body of work, built a salt kiln, established a studio, and began marketing and selling my work. That business allowed me to buy my first home and further establish myself in Western North Carolina.

My interest in real estate began when my husband and I formed a property investment group with college friends. As we went through that process, I realized I had a talent and a passion for researching the history and uncovering the hidden details of the properties we were evaluating.

My career as potter taught me how multitask and work through technical problems with a keen eye for detail and refinement. My role as a small business owner taught me the need for agility in the marketplace so that I could grow and develop my product in a changing environment. A commitment to excellent and attentive customer service has always been cornerstone of my business. Now, as a real estate agent, I enjoy bringing those skills to each of my clients.

I can’t wait to hear your stories about the journey that brings you to this area. I look forward to searching for your perfect property, helping you craft your new home, or making the next step effortless and successful.
