Why I Do This

In 2007, I was misled into a mortgage that nearly cost me my home. I remember feeling fear and uncertainty about whether I could keep it. Fortunately, I fought for a loan modification and was able to save my home. That experience left a lasting impact. I understand what it’s like to feel overwhelmed in real estate, and I have made it my mission to ensure my clients never face that fear alone.

How I Help You

My purpose is simple: to lead, guide, and protect you through the turbulence of buying or selling a home. With me, you’ll always know your options, avoid pitfalls, and move forward with confidence. One client worried her sale would fall apart when a porch repair stalled for months. I stepped in, pushed for action, and the repair was completed on time. She closed stress-free and said she’d “refer me to everyone,” leaving a five-star Google review.

Local Expertise

I’ve called Montgomery County home for over 40 years and raised my family in Germantown. My deep roots in the area give me insider knowledge of neighborhoods, schools, and local markets. While Germantown is the community I know best, I proudly serve buyers, sellers, and investors across the entire county and nearby areas.

Beyond Real Estate

I love cooking with fresh, local ingredients and photography—two passions that remind me to slow down and notice the details, a quality I bring to my work.

My Promise

I’m not here just to close a deal. I’m here to turn your real estate chaos into clarity and to be your grateful ally for success at every step.
