Nice to Meet You...

Have you ever wondered how many homes one buys or sells in a lifetime? While the average person completes three real estate transactions, I have far exceeded that number with my unique journey.

At 20, I purchased my first house with just $500 borrowed from my dad. It began when I was renting, and my next-door neighbor, the owner, wanted to sell. He carried the financing, making it possible for me. Eventually, I sold that house to my parents, who turned it into a rental property.

Over the years, I bought and sold an additional eight homes across Tennessee, Nebraska, Mississippi, Arizona, and Michigan, moving cross-country three times.

The adoption of our special needs daughter was a major life pivot. I became a stay-at-home mom. When she entered school I began working part-time at FedEx Express. Rising to Operations Manager, I completed two cross-country moves with FedEx. My three and a half years as Operations Manager in Jackson, MI, were memorable, but in June 2024, I decided to “turn the page.”

I was a REALTOR in Tennessee and Mississippi prior to adopting our daughter. I consistently made the Multi-Million Dollar Club.

I am a dedicated real estate professional passionate about helping my clients go from where they are to where they dream of being. I am also a wife and mother who enjoys family time, helping our special needs daughter be all she can be, reading, driving my daughter in my 2014 roush mustang, and riding my horse, Brando. 

My family and I now adore life in Michigan—our home. 

I center my services around your unique needs and desires. I promise to be your advocate and seek out your best interests throughout the buying or selling process, navigate the moving parts of the transaction and alleviate your stress as much as possible. Honesty, integrity, and transparency are the keys to building long lasting relationships; you can always count on all three when you choose to work with me. Ultimately, my goal is to help you achieve your real estate dreams by providing exceptional service and guidance every step of the way.
