| Introduction | Yes, I sell Real Estate and yes, I do really love it! It's rewarding and I’m pretty darn good at it. I’ve always had a thing for houses and been fascinated by architecture but mostly, I like the people. Houses are fun however it’s clients that keep me in this business day after day! Nothing is more satisfying than helping my clients find the home of their dreams and when the time comes to move on, being there to help them sell that same house as quickly and as profitably as possible. Once upon a time I worked in higher education administration. I have an undergraduate degree from Transylvania University in English and Sociology and a master’s degree from The University of South Carolina (USC). After about 15 years of working in development and student life positions at The Savannah College of Art and Design, USC-Columbia and Transylvania University, I saw the light of real estate and discovered that I could be just as helpful to people as a Realtor as I was as a college administrator. Plus, I never have the same day twice! When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family, writing, reading, travelling, running, hiking and cooking. |
