After living in Northern Virginia for 40 years, I have vast knowledge of not only Fairfax County but of Loudoun and Prince William County as well. My 10 years of experience as a Realtor, Property Manager, and my commitment to continuous education gives me the expertise to guide my clients through the nuances of the Northern Virginia housing market and assist in all segments of Real Estate.

One of the things I enjoy most in my profession is helping sellers update their homes in the most cost-effective way to ensure they have a successful sale of their home. My experience with property management and remodeling gives me the edge as a listing agent. With my Buyer clients, I enjoy visiting properties with them to evaluate the home’s overall condition and value based on comparable homes and possible repairs needed. I very much enjoy the art of negotiations as well.

I am dedicated to acting in my client’s best interest and measure my success by client satisfaction. I am happy to provide letters of recommendation upon request.

I have a Master of Science Degree in Organizational Psychology. Prior to real estate, I worked in education and social services for over 10 years. I am also an Army veteran and a military spouse. I am very familiar with the challenges of relocating. The home buying/selling process can be so daunting, which is why I have dedicated my career to making your experience as painless and easy as possible. I am fluent in Italian and I studied French at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in Monterey, CA. I have two adult children. My son is a high school teacher. My daughter has a degree in art history and just recently finished organizing and curating her first art exhibition.

About me, I give back to my community with every ounce of my being--helping with fundraisers, events at senior living facilities, & presentations at school on career day. I show up for funerals, and when invited, the baby showers, birthdays, and weddings. I have laughed with clients and I have cried with them. What is important to them is important to me.

I truly appreciate the opportunity to be your go-to realtor because of knowledge, true experience, and care. The one that shows up every time. Not the one motivated by transactions, but by people. Everyone has a story--job transfer, death, retirement, health issues, living in a hotel, growing family, downsizing, etc. I put myself in every buyer and seller's shoes. My high energy & no-nonsense negotiating skills will help you to achieve success. I take on clients as if they were my very own family. I guide them and am committed to protecting their investment as if it were my very own.
