I love real estate! After retiring from the US Navy after serving for 20 years, my husbands next career brought us to beautiful East Tennessee! I hadn't been able to hold a job consistently due to all the moves (9 times) but I wanted to have one now. What would I do? I loved searching for homes before each move, so why not real estate? I am so happy that I went down that path. I have been licensed for 20 years and I am Broker/Owner of this wonderful franchise! My husband and 2 boys have been nothing but supportive and my eldest has had his real estate license for 15 years and helps mom out. Having moved so many times, it's ingrained in me how stressful, frightful, yet exciting buying and selling a home can become. I strive to relieve the stress and fears as much as I can for my clients. Most of my clients throughout the years have become friends. To me, it's all about helping someone with their real estate endeavors. What sets me apart from other agents is the depth of experience and leadership I bring to every transaction. I’m not only a licensed REALTOR®—I’m also an instructor and mentor, helping to educate the next generation of real estate professionals. I serve on both state and local committees, staying at the forefront of industry trends, regulations, and best practices. This means when you work with me, you’re getting more than someone who can list your home—you’re getting an advocate who understands the market inside and out, has a strong network of professional relationships, and is deeply committed to ethical, informed representation. My goal is always to make the process as smooth and successful as possible, getting you top value for your home while keeping communication clear and consistent every step of the way. I treat every sale with the care and attention it deserves—because it’s not just a transaction, it’s your future. Please call me and let's chat. I would love to help you!
