Activated VA Real Estate License in 1994 and worked as a Sales Associate at Creekside Realty, Basye, VA
1996 – Mountain View Properties, Basye, VA – Sales Associate
Activated VA Broker License in 1998 with Mountain View Properties, Basye, VA 1999 – Coldwell Banker Panorama Realty, New Market, VA – Associate Broker
In 2000, I purchased the New Market, VA Coldwell Banker Panorama franchise with a couple partners and moved the office to Mount Jackson; we created a corporation for real estate (Whispering Pines Realty). The DBA, Coldwell Banker Four Seasons Realty, primarily offers residential real estate sales. In 2001, I bought out my partners and added a new company, Four Seasons Rentals, which exclusively provides property management services.
2001 ‐ 2020, I successfully managed these two companies and offer services throughout Shenandoah, Rockingham, and Page Counties (with special emphasis on the resort community of Bryce where I reside with my husband, Bill, of 52 years).
I am active at my local, state, and national REALTOR® Associations and am serving or have served on a variety of committees within these organizations, as well as chairing several of these committees. I am also an active member of my church, Our Lady of the Shenandoah and serve as a Lector, as well as schedule all Lectors each month.
Prior to Real Estate, I worked in several industries, but the most rewarding was from February of 1985 to November 1990 as Financial Administrator for the Coalition of Northeastern Governors (CONEG). In this position, I managed the financial aspects of DOE & DOL Grants, assisted with the organization of annual NE governors’ meetings, oversaw the financial aspects of budgeting numerous ‘cost centers’ for both private and public‐sector programs, as well as the substantial financial holdings of the organization.
We moved to the Shenandoah Valley in July of 1989 and after commuting to Capitol Hill (DC) for 1‐1/2 years, I decided to accept a position closer to home. My next position was with an organization that led me to getting my real estate license… the rest is HISTORY!
