As a licensed REALTOR® since 2003 and Broker/Owner, my philosophy is simple: I’ll never put someone in a home where I wouldn’t live myself, and that honesty is the foundation of the business I’ve built. I take pride in protecting my clients’ best interests and positioning them for success as they enter their next chapter. Drawing on deep market knowledge, local connections, and the support of a fantastic team, I provide the tools and insight clients need to make informed decisions every step of the way. I'm licensed in both North and South Carolina and hold multiple designations, including Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR), Short Sale & Foreclosure Resource (SFR), Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES), Workforce Housing Specialist, and Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist—equipping me to take on any challenge with my clients. I am committed to being a true partner and guide from beginning to end and long after the sale is over. Proudly serving the Greater Charlotte area!
