About

With my extensive background in new home construction and sales, it was a natural transition to get my real estate license and combine my knowledge and experience on the building side of the business with real estate sales and marketing.  As an award winning builder from Macon, Georgia, I was selected to build the first ever Southern Living Showcase Home in my hometown in 1996. I’ve been the recipient of such honors as Best Kitchen Design and Best Bath Design by my industry peers and I have served two terms as the Director of the Macon Homebuilder’s Association.

Today, as a REALTOR®, I offer full real estate services to my clients, working with Sellers to market their homes and working with Buyers to find the right home.  As a builder, I understand the dynamics of the housing market, zoning issues and requirements, costs of materials and labor, and the value of features and design.

I am pleased to be able to pass this unique perspective onto my clients and attribute my success as a REALTOR® to my extensive industry knowledge.  Of course, I believe that my background in education helps too…I not only rely on my expertise as a builder to assist and advise my clients on selling or buying a home, but also on my skills as a former teacher to help walk my clients through the complex processes inherent in any real estate transaction to ensure they’re making educated and informed decisions.

As a former teacher, you know I appreciate the importance of education.  The Georgia Real Estate Commission requires that all licensees complete 24 hours of continuing education credits for every 4-year licensing term. I never have to worry about meeting state standards because I think it is incumbent upon us to learn as much as we can and stay on top of the latest information – so I take advantage of every educational opportunities I can to become a better agent and in turn, help my clients more effectively.
