I am your North San Diego County REALTOR® expert. I have lived here for 25 years, work here and LOVE what I do! I represent both buyers and sellers, and enjoy both equally for different reasons. I take pride in never forgetting that this is not just a job, but an honor to serve you as you make this transition. I do not "sell" anything. I am a problem solver to effectively help my clients achieve their goals. My first priority is to listen carefully to your wants and needs. Then I'll guide you through the process so you can make the best decision for you and your family. A recent purchase and move reminded me of just how stressful this process can be. I'm here to help you from beginning to end, and will be there for you long after you close, I promise. I conduct business professionally, efficiently and with integrity. I always answer my phone, but if I happen to miss you I'll call back ASAP. I'm a real person helping real people, plain and simple. I was born & raised in Iowa, am a U of I grad, and then moved to San Diego in 1989. I know what it's like to be new to an area, and enjoy serving you by sharing all I've learned in the last 25 years. Clients new to the area often call to ask where to go for the best restaurants or entertainment and I love that I'm the first person they think to call. I'm very "dog centric" and have 9 pets including 6 dogs, 2 cats and a potbellied pig, Wilbur. Most people have pets, and I know they play an important role in purchasing the perfect home. No other REALTOR® will be more sensitive to them. Please let me know how I may assist you. Whether to answer your real estate questions or general questions about North San Diego County, I'm always available.
