REMAX Elite | Harlingen

Born in Fort Worth and raised in the Rio Grande Valley, I have developed a deep understanding and appreciation for the diverse communities. After a fulfilling 26-year career as a paralegal advocating for clients, I made a natural transition into the world of real estate. For the past five years, I have been passionately serving as a real estate agent, drawing on over 30 years of combined experience in client relations and negotiation. I firmly believe that everyone deserves a place to call home, which fuels my dedication to representing buyers, sellers, and investors alike. My comprehensive background in the legal field provides a strong foundation for negotiating and ensuring that my clients' best interests are always protected. As a member of the National Association of Realtors and Texas Realtors, I uphold the highest standards of professionalism and ethics in every transaction. Presently aligned with the Greater McAllen Association of Realtors and the Rio Grande Valley MLS, I am deeply involved in my community. This is highlighted by my active participation in my third term as a committee member of the Public Relations Committee with the Greater McAllen Association of Realtors, where I contribute to enhancing our community engagement and public outreach. Dedicated to serving the entire Rio Grande Valley, I am committed to helping my clients navigate the complexities of real estate with ease and confidence. Whether you are buying your first home, seeking to sell your property, or exploring investment opportunities, I am here to guide you through each step of the process with expert advice and personalized service.

With over 25 years of experience in corporate account management and sales across technology, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, and real estate industries, I’ve seen it all—tight deadlines, impossible goals, and the occasional coffee spill on a critical report. Through it all, I’ve consistently landed in the top 20% of my peers and racked up multiple awards for getting the job done (and done well). My career has been an adventure in leadership and strategy. I’ve served as president of my homeowners association board (translation: chief cat herder) and spearheaded a think tank initiative for an oil and gas SaaS company, proving that even in serious industries, innovation and creativity are key. In real estate, I’ve worn both the buyer’s and seller’s hats during my time as an agent in Austin. I know the thrill of finding the perfect home and the satisfaction of sealing the deal for sellers. Plus, real estate runs in the family, so it’s in my DNA. I bring a passion for connecting with people and the community, a knack for problem-solving, and a belief in the golden rule. Whether in the boardroom or at the closing table, I’m here to make great things happen. My goal as an agent is to make one's real estate transaction as seamless and effortless as possible.
