I first moved to Berks county when attending school at Kutztown University. In 1984, I graduated with a BS in Business Administration. I received my Real Estate license in 1987 and have helped hundreds of local families buy and sell their properties. I also have been involved in several large commercial transactions and have the necessary experience and background to assist in your investment and commercial projects.

My background in in both residential construction and real estate appraisal provides me with excellent qualifications to handle all types of real estate transactions. Buying and Selling a home is the largest transaction most people undertake in their lifetimes. I understand the many steps in a real estate transaction and I work to keep my clients educated on the entire process. I often start working with Sellers months before they put their house on the market, making suggestions for improvements to help my sellers get the BEST price in the least amount of time possible. Proper Pricing and Preparation make the difference!!

Call me for your FREE seller consultation and market analysis or for a Buyer Counseling Session.

I grew up in Berks, Montgomery & Lehigh Counties. My parents owned a horse training facility and a fence company where I learned the value of Honesty, Integrity, Hard work and how to help clients meet their needs and goals. In 2003 I earned my real estate sales license and I bring those same values and lessons to the table. My mission is to help you obtain your needs and goals in real estate honestly and diligently whether you are looking to sell or purchase, if you are a first time buyer, or an investor, or looking to upgrade or downsize.

Personal

I have lived in California & Rhode Island however I am now settled into Mertztown, Pennsylvania. I love this area for our friendly neighbors and our beautiful scenic country side filled with old farms. When I am not busy with real estate I enjoy cycling and mountain biking with my 2 daughters fixing up our 1850 farm house and spending time with my family and friends.

Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, I have been a PA resident since 1983, except for our family’s 6-year jaunt in TN. My husband of 32 years and I have had the extreme pleasure and privilege of raising our family of 9 children - together we serve in our church, have worked on 5 “fixer uppers”, and even started and sold a successful family business, with complete involvement from every member!

Besides the enjoyment of family and grandkids, my interests include reading, photography, gardening, horses, traveling and adventure, and a good game of volleyball. I have had various personal interests in real estate since 19 years of age and have also found homes and buyers for family and friends throughout the years. After raising the family it was time to be able to bundle these efforts into a bona fide real estate career. It is my personal goal to continue to establish my efforts and clientele grounded in trust and communication – keeping everyone informed surely helps to make the process of buying and selling a more enjoyable and smooth experience! Therefore, I believe hard work, resources and teamwork are very important aspects to accomplishing these goals and it is my desire to successfully guide you through the process of your real estate transaction.

As part of this well-established group of Realtors, I bring with me not only the selling skill set of a Realtor but also a long history of experience in the residential and commercial construction industry.

My goals are to help those looking for their first home, as well as, those looking to upgrade their home as their family grows.  I also work with investors to find properties that are compatible with their investment portfolio and goals I want my buyers and sellers to be confident that I am the Real Estate Agent that will be focused on finding exactly what they are looking for.

I will always be available, approachable and focused on my clients.

Born and raised in the suburbs of New York City, I met my wife and moved to Berks County in 2013. Between the breathtaking landscapes & the vibrant, diverse, and welcoming community I instantly new that this was home. I also knew that I wanted to do what I could to help make the lives of my family, friends, and neighbors better.

As a former personal trainer, I have worked with people in some of their most emotional moments and seen the joy, pride, and triumph they feel when reaching an accomplishment. Buying or selling a home can be both emotional and a great accomplishment. I bring the same desire to help and dedication to improving other’s lives to what is the biggest transaction anyone will make.

Whether it’s your first home, a step up, or your last home, it’s where your life happens. I want to help make sure it happens in the perfect place.
