MY PROFILE

I am a full time, full service agent and a Multi-Million dollar agent for Coldwell Banker Schmidt Realtors.

Frequently, my past clients will call me with updates on their new homes and the new lives they have begun here in Traverse City.

I have a Bachelor's Degree and I am a Registered Nurse in the State of Michigan. I have raised two wonderful children who are off to college.  I am a graduate of  Coldwell Banker's advanced training and hold the designation of Certified Negotiation Specialist.  I have completed the Graduate Realtor Courses I and II, and III.  I hold the desigation of Graduate GRI.  I have also completed the Previews Certification Course and Certification which will be an asset in my efforts to Market and Promote Luxury homes in the Region.  In addition, I have most recently been desigated as a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES).  As a nationally recognized SRES, I can help seniors to make wise decisions about selling the family home, buying rental property, managing the capital gains and estate tax implications of owning real estate.  I have acheived the level of Asssociate Broker.
