Distinctions

 

I traveled to Western North Carolina for many years, but I knew from my first visit to Asheville that I would settle here. The vibrant, colorful, and diverse nature of Asheville and its surrounding communities were too much to resist. As a resident, I'm involved in and committed to participating in activities that promote community, environmental sustainability, spiritual diversity, and inclusiveness.  

After graduating from Baylor University with a B.A. in History, I earned an M.A. in History from Louisiana State University. Then, I taught English for a year in Thailand, where I became immersed in Thai culture. I was a K–12 educator in Louisiana and North Carolina. Over the years, I have traveled extensively in the United States, Europe, Africa, Asia, Central America, and the Caribbean. I am happily married and the mother of three adult children with successful families and careers. My greatest joys and challenges in life have been learning the grace and grit required to parent these amazing children, and watching them contribute their talent, ideas, and vision to others. I live in Weaverville with my husband and extraordinary Labradoodle, Brody. I love dogs, trees, cooking, and supporting the arts.

Are you looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and responsive full-time real estate advisor? I'm here to deliver exceptional service and create close professional relationships that lead to your success and satisfaction with the entire real estate sales or purchasing experience. 

My teaching experience has given me great perception and communication skills. I'm here to listen to what you have to say; observe your reactions, body language, and words; and then, find the home that matches your desires. It's a feedback loop that will help bring your home buying process to fruition.

If you're selling your home, I use the same communications process to meet those unique needs, communicating in the way you prefer. You will see my trustworthiness come through. It's my goal to make you feel safe, protected, and heard.

I specialize in four areas of real estate: Finding land or lots for those seeking to build new homes, the sale and purchase of new or existing homes and properties, locating luxury properties, and corporate relocations. If you're ready to take that next step, I am here to help.
