I have always called Minnesota home. I grew up on a hobby farm in Carver County and have lived in the Twin Cities area all my life. I currently live with my family in Waconia. I love spending time outdoors, walking, biking and spending time with family and friends. I also enjoy traveling, gardening and a variety of sports. I am active in my church and community. I am passionate about what I do and believe in working hard and enjoying each and every day to its fullest.
My business background began after attending college. I worked as a personal banker for Norwest Bank and then Wells Fargo. My work in financial services gave me both experience and thorough knowledge of credit and financing. They have been a great benefit in my career as a Realtor. After 9 years in banking I determined my real passion was in real estate. I first worked for a realtor in 2000. This gave me valuable experience in the business. I then went back to school and earned my license as a Realtor. Since that time, I have become a graduate of the Realtor Institute which earned me the GRI designation. I have also become a Certified Home Marketing Specialist and Relocation Specialist. I was named “Super Real Estate Agent” in 2012-2016 by Twin Cities Business and Mpls St Paul Magazines.
In this ever changing market, education and experience are some of the keys to a successful transaction. I continually strive to stay at the top of my game through additional education. Some of the more recent courses I have taken include negotiating, home marketing, and distressed sales to name a few. I am a member of the National Association of Realtors and the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors. I strive to employ the latest technology in my business and utilize internet marketing to actively promote my listings as well as provide the tools and resources my clients need.
I believe good communication is the cornerstone of a good working relationship between a realtor and their client. I pledge to be in frequent contact with my clients in the way they choose throughout the entire purchase/sale of their home. I give attention and careful follow through to all aspects of my business and work diligently to provide an outstanding experience to all my clients.
I primarily work in the Twin Cities metro area but have also sold homes in other areas. I specialize in residential real estate including single family homes, townhomes, and condos. I have expertise in bank owned and short sale properties.
