I am orginially from Chicago, and ended up here on a whim.  I have been married for 16 years and I have two girls, Cora 13 and Claire 9.  I love what I do because it gives me the flexability to be with my family when they need me, but to also service my customers when they need me.  The two rarely conflict.  I think being a mom has helped me with my real estate career,  helping the people that need it most.  Just like a mom, always there to help you up when you fall.  I love helping people realize their dream of home ownership or selling their house to move on to their dream.  I think my sellers would say I go above and beyond the call of duty.  If I am not holding an open house, I'm in the house painting it to have it show better. Helping people buy a home is the greatest thing in the world to me.  Being the one to give them the key to their first house is the best.  Owning your own house is the greatest thing, not only for the tax benefits, but it is something to call your own.
