PROFESSIONAL COMMITMENT

Since 1985 I have been a residential real estate professional in new and resale homes from  $85,000-$550,000 in Gwinnett, North Fulton, South Hall and South Forsyth Counties.  I have extensive experience in residential construction, having  opened and managed new home communities, as well as working directly for the Atlanta division of a national home builder as  construction estimator.  I have been associated with RE/MAX®  since 1998.

I enjoy working with first time home buyers as well as "move-up" and relocation buyers.  I'm an avid photographer and web host, and love designing unique, personalized marketing programs for my listing clients!  (I knew that Journalism degree would come in handy one day!)
