Over the years of being a real estate professional Ive gained a unique set of skills and knowledge rooted in my personal commitment to Sustainability, Affordability, Social & Financial Equity that go beyond just helping my clients to purchase or sell a home.

Sustainability - Mother nature doesnt need us, we need her. Taking care of our environment has long been one of my top priorities. I spend a lot of my time volunteering to bring awareness to environmental issues. Ive always been solutions driven so when I learned about ways to curb CO2 emissions at home, I began sharing this knowledge with my clients. I took it a step further and became a Florida Green Building Coalition Certifying Agent and got my GREEN designation and became a certified instructor to teach the course to other Realtors. Last fall I joined Real Estate Experts and the developers of Array the first Net-Zero-Energy neighborhood in North Carolina.

I offer all my clients a deep commitment to sustainability and knowledge of green building practices to help them -
navigate the purchase or sale of a home with sustainable, high-performance features and certifications.
remodel an existing home to make it more sustainable with resource, energy and cost-efficient features.

Social & Financial Equity through Affordability - In my years of selling real estate, Ive seen firsthand the opportunity to own a home vanish for many and with it the chance to build wealth. As a real estate professional its my desire to work to reverse this trend by creating more home ownership opportunities for the people who make up the backbone of our communities. Many factors have contributed to this problem and the path to solving it will require varied solutions.

I offer my First-time buyers the chance to achieve financial and social equity by -
helping them get financing as a Preferred Agent thru NCHFA which offers affordable financing terms.
using my real estate investment background to help my clients find the right home in need of some TLC.
applying my green home renovation experience to facilitate the process of modernizing and upgrading the home to create energy savings and long-term value.
My commitment as an appointed member of the Orange County Affordable Housing Advisory Board to create more affordable housing opportunities.

Financial Equity - Before becoming a residential real estate agent; I earned my BSBA in Finance and I spent several years working in the corporate world as a Financial Analyst at an international consulting firm and then as an Investment Manager for a commercial real estate firm. In addition, Ive purchased and managed several of my own investment properties so I can better help my clients whether they are buying or selling a home or seeking an investment property.
