My genuine passion is to help people achieve their dreams of homeownership. This passion has guided me on my path to become a trusted agent with unwavering commitment to my clients' wants and needs. Throughout my 19 year career in Real Estate I have strived to build a solid reputation as a respected name in the real estate community.
I recognize that real estate is not merely a transaction but a life-changing journey for my clients. When buying a home, I understand that my clients are making one of the largest financial decisions of their lives and I treat the journey with the care and detail that it deserves. I believe what sets me apart is my genuine care and empathy for my clients. I believe in building relationships that extend beyond the closing table, understanding that each transaction is a chapter in my clients' lives. My commitment to actively listening to their desires, concerns, and aspirations that I hope will earn me a reputation for personalized service that goes beyond the norm.
Throughout my career, I have tried to navigate the ever-evolving real estate landscape with finesse. I strive to always improve my skills as an expert negotiator and to create a vast portfolio of satisfied clients. Whether assisting first-time homebuyers, seasoned investors, or families looking for their dream home, I approach each transaction with the same level of dedication and enthusiasm. I strive to always stay up to date on market trends and to consistently build a network of professionals in all associated trades to better serve my clients needs.
I remain committed to staying ahead of market trends, utilizing cutting-edge technology, and continuously expanding my knowledge to provide the best possible service. It is my goal to assist my clients not only achieve their real estate goals but to make the entire process seamless and enjoyable.
Outside of my professional accomplishments, I am a wife and mother of two. My oldest son Tyler joined my team, as a licensed real estate agent, and was recently awarded the Rising Star Award from Howard Hanna. My youngest, Andrew, is currently deciding what the next phase of his life looks like. My husband Mike and I met in high school and have a two year old fur baby Kaia, who we spoil as if she is one of our kids. We enjoy family time, good food, soccer games, golf, time on our boat on Saratoga Lake and at the pool with friends.

Reflections on 2025
It’s that time again! While we wait out this frigid winter I like to pause and look back at the market we’ve just experienced—and share a few thoughts on what the coming year may bring. Many of you have been reading these letters for quite some time now. While I certainly can’t predict our real estate future, my 20+ years as a Realtor with Howard Hanna have given me a solid understanding of trends and the ability to offer informed guidance to my clients.
Our current job market is strong with overall growth in the healthcare, high-tech/semiconductors and government sectors. On the housing front, home values have climbed steadily for more than five years, and I don’t anticipate any meaningful downturn ahead. In 2025, the average sale price of a single-family home reached $400,971, an 8.7% increase over the previous year. Continuing the trend of positive appreciation our region has experienced for approximately six to seven years, with a significant acceleration in growth beginning around the start of the COVID-19 pandemic (2019–2020). While appreciation was steadier prior to 2020, the market has seen sustained, often double-digit, percentage increases in home values and median sale prices through 2025.
There were 9,746 closed single-family sales in 2025, slightly more than 2024 but significantly less than 2021's 13,485 sales. The primary reason for this drop is interest rates. In 2021, 30-year mortgage rates hovered around 3%. Last year, they spent most of their time in the mid-6% range. Understandably, many homeowners chose to stay put rather than trade a low rate for one that’s double. Adding to this is the rising cost of new construction. While prices across the board have increased, new builds have surged even more, with very few starting under $500,000.
