Life Happens. Change is part of Life.

Sometimes we choose change; sometimes it just happens.

When real estate changes are a part of your life, I can help. Just call.

Planning and attention to details - that's what it takes to manage change and transition.

Whether you are buying, selling or investing, I'd love to hear about   your real estate needs.

  • Looking for a special neighborhood or a secluded hide-away?
  • Need more room for a family addition - new baby, mother-in-law or even a big ol' hound dog?
  • Celebrating lifestyle changes with your marriage, retirement or the last kid going off on their own?
  • Job change, transfer or recent promotion?
  • Dreaming of moving - north, south, east or west for any of a hundred reasons?
  • Win the lottery?

Together we will address the challenges, come up with a plan and    get moving. I'll be with you every step of the way - any time - ready to help any way I can.

I bring over 20 years of diversified marketing and business development experience to my real estate career. Skills and talents that translate directly to real estate - like listening and straight forward communication, planning and managing the details, negotiating, and a passion for excellent customer service.

Personal Background

Growing up in the Rockford area I learned the meaning of community. To me, it's where you are the most comfortable, it's where you feel at home. During the few years that I lived in Biloxi or Battle Creek, Rockford was still my home.

When I returned to Rockford in 1985 as a single mom with a career, I purchased a condo in town that became my home. It was close to the schools and I could grow flowers but not have to mow grass.

And now, home for me is in rural Rockford, where I grow lots of flowers, but still don't mow grass. This home came furnished . . . with a husband who has a riding lawn mower.

As a Rockford High School grad, with 2 grown sons (also Rockford grads), I'm proud to have grandchildren in the system and on track to be our family's third generation.

I am excited to be working with buyers and sellers in the West Michigan area. It's my goal to help each of you transition into a home where you feel at home.
