Experience Matters

A REALTOR® is a REALTOR®, right?
Not quite.

No two REALTORS® bring the same combination of experience, education, and perspective. Choosing the right one means understanding what truly sets them apart. Here’s what defines me.


Built From the Ground Up

I began my adult life with a hammer in hand—literally. After earning my B.S. in Architecture and Art History, I completed a Carpenter Apprenticeship and became a Journeyman Carpenter with Local 314 of the Carpenters Union.

That hands-on education taught me construction from the inside out. So when I say a home has good bones or that removing a wall would open up the space beautifully, it’s because I’ve built them—from the foundation up.


Design Meets Real Estate

My love of architecture and design led me to pursue professional certifications that sharpened my eye for detail and possibility. I can see beyond the surface—to spot the gems in the marketplace that others might overlook.

Whether it’s identifying a home with strong potential or recognizing which improvements will make the biggest impact, I help clients see the story behind every structure.

I’m especially drawn to architecturally significant homes. Even when they’re not for sale, I’ll make time to tour and study them. Personally, I’m a soft spot for a Mid-Century Rambler buried under a 1980s remodel—those are true diamonds in the rough, and I love helping them shine again.


For Buyers

My experience as a carpenter, designer, and home flipper means I know what’s fixable, what’s not, and what’s worth your investment. I’ll help you look past the staging to understand the structure—and spot red flags before inspection day.

I see the potential in every space and help you find a home that fits your needs today and grows with you into the future.


For Sellers

Listing a home is both an art and a strategy. My construction and design background gives me an edge when preparing your home for market.

I know which updates deliver real return on investment and how to showcase your home’s best architectural and lifestyle features. From pre-listing prep and contractor coordination to staging and marketing strategy, I handle the details that make your property stand out—and sell for its true value.

My years as a Project Manager ensure the process is smooth, organized, and stress-free—saving you time, energy, and often, thousands of dollars.


The Perfect Match

Whether buying or selling, my mission is simple: to match you with a home—or a buyer—that fulfills both your practical needs and your heartfelt dreams.

The perfect match.
We’ll find it—together.
