Thanks for wanting to hear more about me and my real estate qualifications to be 'Your" agent.  Can't blame you for wanting to research your agent, as you're thinking about making one of the most expensive and important investments in your life-a home.  I recognize you're trying to decide on an agent right for your needs, so here's my story and hopefully you find it a perfect fit for you!

Yes, you're right, I have been around awhile.  Long enough to have seen many rate fluxuations,  recessions, short sales, legal issues and internet growth to help you navigate through most all issues.  There isn't much I haven't seen and worked thru in my over 30 year history in real estate.  See, although I spent my first years as an agent, I was fortunate to own 2 large real estate companies - One in Pittsburgh and another in Sarasota, Fla.  Having managed over 1200 agents and 30 offices at the same time, truly gives you a bunch of first hand knowledge in people and problem solving.  When I sold out my interests in those companies, I decided to join Howard Hanna as an agent with my goal to be able to use my knowledge to help people find a home and have a worry free transaction.  

I'm a Pittsburgh native-born and raised in the East End then moving to Pittsburgh's North area after I got married. Soon after, my husband became a builder and I got in the real estate business.  He went on to become a very successful custom builder/developer (in fact you'll probably visit some of the homes he built over the years) and I blossomed in real estate.  Between the two of us we developed many industry relationships that have been helpful to us and to our clientele.   Although I do most of my business in the North of Pittsburgh, my experiences as the former owner of 2 large real estate companies with offices all over Greater Pittsburgh, have given me a knowledge of the surrounding areas.  

My experience ranges from International real estate, relocation, new construction, investing and mortgages to buying and selling real estate.  My approach is to use innovative tools in helping you to buy and sell.  The internet and social media have changed the real estate world for the better and I embrace all the latest products that work!! Yes, I have many awards and accreditations in various real estate products that could be helpful to you in solving your real estate needs but that is not what is most important.  The most important part of the real estate transaction is YOU, your needs and wants.

My biggest accomplishment in life is my family - 2 grown sons and 6 grandchildren !

In 2002, my family opened an office in Sarasota and quickly grew it to 12 offices.  Although I sold the bulk of that company over the years, I did retain one office and the company name.  So, if you need help either relocating, investing or buying a vacation home in Florida, I can help you there also!

It's important for you to know that I consider myself very lucky to have found a job I enjoy so much, that I never feel like I am at work.  I don't just sell houses.  I find people a house which will be their "home".  For you to be happy in your new "home", I must listen to your needs and meet them.  

Let me share with you all my wealth of real estate knowledge that I have been lucky to receive and use it to help you find a house you can call "HOME".
