Creative Professional by nature; Realtor by desire, skills and ongoing training through eXp Realty. From my perspective, working in real estate is not a sales job, but more of a professional service. The BEST Agents not only advise, negotiate contracts and show homes, but also educate their Clients, listen to their needs and become a lifelong advocate.
I entered real estate in March 2009 doing Home Staging for both Listing Agents and Sellers, and from October 2009 - 2017 worked exclusively with Buyers to help them through the home-buying process. As the market shifted and Past Clients reached out to help sell their homes, I enthusiastically started assisting Sellers as well. Since 2009, I've helped over 775 homes find new Owners all across Chester County, northern Delaware and most recently, Maryland.
Before entering real estate, I received my Bachelor's degree in Surface Pattern Design from Syracuse University. I then spent 17 years as a Design Professional in the home textile industry, during which time I bought and sold 4 different types of homes from new construction to an outdated "Brady house" and back to new construction again where in mid-construction, my job was relocated, which prevented me from going to settlement. So while my 15+ years as a licensed Realtor has taught me an incredible amount, I have a diverse personal experience prior to being a real estate professional that allows me to connect to my Clients in a much more personal way. I was recently asked "What is your motivation to be successful?" and my response is that I strive to be a positive force in other people’s lives and help them not only achieve their goals but connect them with others who will do the same. It's a great life!
