Born and raised in Sarasota, Fl I am a true Floridian. When I lived in Sarasota it was a very small town. Now Sarasota is quite big! It has changed over time. I met my husband Marc, when I lived in Sarasota. We went to prom in our Senior year of high school, dated for a couple of years. Marc decided to join the Army and we got married. From there we went to his first duty station in Panama (the country).
We lived in Panama for 3 years where we enjoyed the sites, the economy, the country and our fellow soldiers and their families. While living in Panama I experienced a lot of firsts: it was the first time I saw an Iguana, It was my first time leaving America and living abroad. It was my first time seeing a toucan(s) in their natural habitat. It was also my first of many times seeing a sloth and waiting for sloths to cross the street very slowly. We also, had our first son.
We moved from Panama after three years and were stationed at Ft. Ritchie. It was then My husband decided to leave the military. We lived in Maryland, but there was no family there. We decided. We would move to Virginia because my sister was also in the military and was stationed at Ft. Eustis. We need to purchase a house!
I believe that you will have a natural connection with your home when you find it. No one can talk you into purchasing your home. Its’ a feeling that is indescribable, but when you know you know. Communication the key and if you don’t feel that you can effectively speak with your agent or your client, the transaction may hit some snags. I found my first home several years ago on Realltor.com and knew that home was mine before I even walked in the property. My agent at the time showed me 5 other properties before finally taking us to the property that we wanted to see originally. When I finally walked into the property…I was home!
I have been in the Hampton Roads area since 1998. I have a BA in Sociology. At the time I was studying for the degree I had no idea what I would do with a Sociology Degree and now I know. I have been a Licensed agent since 2013. I became an Associate Broker in 2019. As agents we are all in this together. We have to help one another to make this industry better. I believe teaching is important to spread the knowledge so that we all can be better. My family and I live in Newport News, VA. We have 4 dogs: a Shih Tzu (Truffles) and 3 English Bulldogs (Miss Panda, Miss Inky and Dude). My husband and I have 3 children (Max, Sam, and Nic). I’m a boy mom, and my children keep me on my toes. I really love real estate! Every day there is an opportunity to learn and grow. No 2 transactions will ever be the same. I am always looking forward to new opportunities.
I feel that we never stop learning and we learn something new every day. I learn something everyday while working in the field. My favorite motto is “reach one teach one.” My desire is to make an impact with each person I come into contact.
Need an agent who knows how to effectively market your home so it sells? Give me a call! I'm eager to help and would love to talk to you.
