I have moved 18 times in my lifetime. I have lived in nine cities in four countries on four continents. I have been a renter, an owner and a landlord. My oldest home was more than a 100-years-old and three were new construction. I also spent a year renovating a house. Without realizing it, I had been preparing for a career in real estate my entire life. Along the way, I graduated from the University of Texas, worked as a photojournalist, graduated from Culinary Arts School, worked in restaurants and as a caterer and traveled to more than 30 countries. One thing that remains a constant is my desire to explore new places and continue learning about old ones. Houston is my home; the place where I always return. After living here, off and on, for more than 28 years, I am still discovering new things about our city. My goal is to make the home buying and selling process as smooth as possible for my clients. "Making people happy, one house at a time" is my driving force. I'm focused on continuing my Real Estate education so that I can always represent my clients to the best of my ability. Because of my vast personal experience in real estate, I understand my clients' needs. I know what it's like to pack up a house and move to a new city or just a new house in the same city. My focus is on making the transition to a new home as easy as possible. I value my clients' time so I explore their needs in depth before beginning the home buying or selling process. I want the experience to be great for everyone involved. I am committed to placing the goals of my clients first and to providing the highest level of service.
