Proven Business Skills Sales: I have sold actively and successfully for nine years in the fields of residential and commercial real estate, as well as interior decor. My real estate business is focused on assisting relocation buyers, marketing existing homes and helping single women, alone either by choice or by circumstance, realize their real estate goals.

Management: A significant amount of my time has been spent performing the "hands on" management of real estate-related businesses through their initial grouth periods. As I've come to fully utilize today's technology to enhance my productivity, I've gained more time to devote to a higher level of customer service.

Office Management and Finance: As a small business owner and manager, I have been responsible for managing the daily operations and financial resources for those companies. I use that experience to help my real estate clients make educated, informed decisions when considering any aspect of a real estate investment.

A Balance of Interests: I find the variety and challenges of my work very rewarding and my satisfaction in life is further enhanced by my other interests in gourmet cooking, golfing, boating, painting and travel.
