Q: What made you interested in Real Estate?

A: I was hired as a Property Manager, needed to be licensed.

Q: What was your favorite moment in your career so far?

A: Every transaction is memorable. I'm helping someone get their first home or their first beach house or their retirement home. They are all special in their own way. These homes are important to them, so it is important for me to help them attain them.

Q: What do you wish you had known when you first got your real estate license?

A: The number of "hats" an agent wears from the first meeting to the closing.

Q: In what ways have you seen the real estate industry change since you started?

A: Consumers have more information at their fingertips. Not everything they read on the internet is accurate. We have to guide them to what information they obtain is more accurate. There are too many misleading websites that do not help the consumer make informed decisions.

Q: What’s the most challenging part of your job?

A: Determining the "wants" vs the "needs" based on the price point. Every neighborhood and every home is different.

Q: If you could sum up being a real estate agent in five words or less, what would you say?

A: Local knowledge is the Key!
