After receiving a Master’s Degree from Arizona State University in 1996 I obtained State of Arizona Real Estate License (in 2002) and began developing a very productive Real Estate Practice in the Phoenix Metro Area. Since that time, I’ve grown into a Multi-Million Dollar Producer and Team Leader. In early 2007, my practice shifted to focusing on the Phoenix Area Distressed Properties Market (Short Sales & Foreclosures). This provided an opportunity to assist Phoenix area homeowners in avoiding foreclosure. I was the focus of several local newspaper articles as a specialist in the listing and selling Short Sales & Foreclosures. I obtained my Broker’s License in early 2009 and joined Solutions Real Estate. I was honored with an appointment to Chair the Board of Directors at Solutions Real Estate. Since that time my practice and Team was repeatedly recognized as a “Top Producing Team” at Solutions Real Estate and I consistently was recognized and positioned in the Top 5% at Solutions Real Estate, earning Awards and Recognition for Sales Volume. I’ve also have had the opportunity to Mentor New Agents and manage a successful Team covering the entire Valley with a group of strong, dedicated Buyer Agents. Now with HomeSmart, I’m fortunate to utilize my skill set and experience to serve both Buyers and Sellers throughout the Valley. With 7000+ Agents Valley wide, HomeSmart sets industry standards in the community. I’ve recently partnered with the Valley Solutions Team at HomeSmart and am excited to launch a new chapter in my career, continuing to assist buyers and sellers, educating/training colleagues on Best Practices in Real Estate and Mentoring new agents. I’m a Certified Military Residential Specialist (CRMS), a Certified Negotiations Expert (CNE) and a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE). My goal is to handle every client transaction and client with unparalleled professionalism and a level of customer service second to none. I’m honored to assist clients in navigating the local Real Estate Market and Home Purchase/Sale Process to make the home buying or selling experience, pleasant, stress-free and profitable.
