About the Listing Agent

Originally a CH resident, I returned here after many years living in San Francisco. Working with you, a buyer or seller of Real Estate, means to me asking you a lot of questions and listening to what is important to you. Crafting an experience which involves the least number of surprises and the lowest stress for you is my primary goal. This includes making sure you really do know how North Carolina RE practices and procedures work at this point in time, what the very local market is
