Beginning my professional sales career at the ripe old age of 23, I started out purchasing a failing tanning salon and turned it into a fast-growing, profitable business within a year. The love of meeting new people daily and having the chance to talk and build relationships, beyond just a salesperson to a client, made my day! Becoming a business owner taught me many different skills during that 9-year time frame. Everything from scrubbing floors, creating marketing & business plans, negotiating leases and equipment purchases, establishing HR guidelines for staff, hiring and (gasp!) firing, appeasing unhappy clients, etc., made me a well-rounded professional. As my years with the salon went on, I felt the need to branch out to other ventures. Thus, my life as a full-time Realtor began in 2005. Having been mentored by some of the top real estate professionals, my knowledge of this industry has grown tremendously over 19+ years and has earned me high recommendations from my clients (now friends!) My commitment to my clients was reflected in an award for Quality Service in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023 which I was humbled to receive. I LOVE that no two days are ever the same and I have grown to become friends with many of my clients. Spending significant time with each buyer or seller allows me the chance to get to know them on a deeper level. I think the best part of my job is seeing the face of a first-time buyer getting the keys to their dream home, or the seller getting to hand over the reins of their cherished home to the next family. It never gets old! In my off time, I am either shore bound to Ocean City, NJ , where I am working on my NJ license, or busy enjoying time with friends and family and just relaxing. I am looking forward to my next dachshund that I hope to have soon!
