 “Yankee by birth – southern by the grace of God” - I first heard that saying shortly after moving south to Atlanta 38 years ago from New Jersey and it didn’t take long to appreciate it. Moving down reluctantly on the 2nd of January and then enduring three weeks of cold, rain and homesickness, I woke up the morning of the fourth week to beautiful sun and a straight week of 70 degree weather and thought – hmmm, maybe living in the south might not be so bad after all! I’ve loved living here since then and still appreciate the wonderful weather with so much green around you, even in the dead of winter. Finding myself a single mom in 1987, I decided to go into real estate to have more freedom to raise my sons, Matt and Josh, now young men. I had no idea I had found my calling and that it would blossom into such a successful and rewarding career. It’s a great thing to be able to work with so many different people in one of the most important choices in their lives. I now have the added pleasure of watching my beautiful granddaughter, Haylee, grow up in such a wonderful city! Needless to say, I’ve watched Atlanta and the suburbs grow by leaps and bounds and it’s been an exciting journey. I’ve become an avid baseball fan with the start of the Atlanta Braves astounding climb in 1991 from last to first and continue to enjoy watching them beat the odds each year. I hope you’ll enjoy your move here and want to help you find fulfillment and joy in your next home!

Working With An Agent >CRS and GRI
CRS, which stands for Certified Residential Specialist, is a designation that recognizes a high level of professional accomplishments in real estate experience and education. The Residential Sales Council grants the CRS designation only to the most outstanding sales associates in the residential sales field. Besides the completion of a rigorous course of study, the candidate must be able to demonstrate 75 successful transactions or average sales of $1 million per year of experience. Only 4% of all real estate agents are awarded the CRS designation.
GRI stands for Graduate, REALTOR Institute. The REALTOR Institute offers a series of 90 hours of required and elective courses conducted by the local Board or Association of REALTORS.
