Buying or selling a home is more than a transaction; it’s a pivotal life event that requires a partner who is as invested in the details as you are. Since entering the industry in 2019, I have combined a high-tech background with a high-touch service philosophy to help over 80 clients achieve their goals, resulting in more than $35 million in career sales. As an Associate Broker with PSA (Pricing Strategy Advisor) and ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative) designations, I offer my clients a distinct competitive edge. My approach is rooted in a 28-year career at Verizon, where I navigated the rise of the internet and fiber technology. I translate that tech-savvy and strategic mindset into every listing and negotiation, ensuring my clients benefit from sophisticated marketing and data-driven pricing. Originally from Johnstown in Western Pennsylvania, my journey through Reading, Downingtown, and Philadelphia eventually led me to Delaware in 1998. For over 25 years, I have called this region home, developing a deep appreciation for our local heritage. Whether you are a first-time buyer or navigating the luxury market, I provide a boutique experience backed by the 50 year legacy of Steve Crifasi and The Crifasi Group. When I’m not advocating for my clients or analyzing market trends, you can usually find me enjoying the vibrant local culture in Greenville, planning travel adventures with my husband, Mac, or supporting the vital work of Meals on Wheels Delaware. When every detail matters, I’m ready to get to work for you.
