I am a real estate professional, an agent and broker. I enjoy helping buyers and sellers conduct real estate transactions in the Austin area. Most of my business comes from friends and referrals, so trust is a large aspect of my relationships with clients. I give people the excellent service that they deserve. Prior to starting my real estate career, I was a biological research scientist (PhD) and educator for 30+ years at UT Austin and Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX. Now, I use those skills to dig deeply into property data and guide clients through a smooth process of buying or selling a home. My real estate classes include real estate contracts, real estate law, financing, marketing, negotiations, ethics, new home builders, property management, property taxes, senior clients, and first-time buyers. These courses and experience allowed me to earn a real estate brokers license and work independently in my own business. I serve clients by providing the highest level of professional opinions and advice.
I arrived in the Austin area in 1978, purchased an old home in South Austin in 1993, bought and sold my own rental property, and participated in the growth and development of Austin for many decades. I serve as secretary of my neighborhood association, volunteer for park clean ups, and participate in local government. I hike and bike in local parks and trails, swim in the springs, practice yoga, and support the arts. My website and text messages are filled with my photos of flowers from my garden. You are sure to see me laughing with family and friends at Austin area restaurants, music events, and local breweries. I am a serious and patient educator who encourages others to persevere. My professional goal is for my clients to succeed with their goals.
