Originally from Clarksville, Tennessee, I am a 1984 Graduate of Northwestern University where I graduated with honors. In 1989 I relocated to Southern California and since my association with Coldwell Banker in 2002, I have built a reputation as a creative thinker, innovative marketer and a consummate real estate professional. Equally admired among my clients and peers, I am recognized for my thoroughness, enthusiasm, dedication to my work and knowledge of the subtleties of the local marketplace.As a skillful negotiator mindful of details, I draw upon a varied background in the music and entertainment industries and understand the importance of attention to detail in every transaction. I have taken my passion for the arts and put my creative mind to effective use in working hard for my clients and as a result have earned the distinction of being in Coldwell Banker's President's Elite which places me in the top 2% out of the 80,000 Coldwell Banker agents internationally. I was chosen by Los Angeles magazine as one of the top realtors in Pasadena from 2012 through 2021 and was selected by Pasadena Magazine as one of the top realtors in the San Gabriel Valley from 2013 through 2021. Even with the changes in the marketplace, I have managed to remain successful by being adaptable and continuing to educate myself to the new realities of the market and by always putting my client's wants and needs first.For sellers, I know the local market and understand what needs to be done to get you the best possible price. I have a strong marketing plan in place that has proven time and time again how to get you the most exposure online and in print media.For buyers, I understand what needs to be done to set your offer apart from others in what is currently a very competitive market.I am never too busy to help you with your real estate needs.
