Question: How many Virginians does it take to change a light bulb?
Answer: 3 of course, any true Virginian can change a light bulb independently but you will need at least 2 others to discuss how great and significant the old one was!

I was lucky enough to escape to Virginia in 1976, after living in Philadelphia for 5 years, while attending Temple University. I hold agree in Psychiatric Social Work, which has helped and continues to help me in my Real Estate career. I grew up in Massachusetts with rolling hills, forest and four distinct seasons; Albemarle County felt very familiar, minus the terrible, long, dreary, freezing winters. I remember driving down Skyline Drive and looking at the mountains and wondering, who are the lucky people that get to live in this amazing place. I still feel that way 43 years later, when I lookout my kitchen window and see the Blue Ridge Mountains.

In 1978, I bought a 104-acre apple orchard instead of the safe little cottage on a few acres that I had been looking for. I meet my husband at a fruit growers meeting and we moved to his family’s farm in Western Albemarle in 1979. I had my own apple cider business and worked at UVA and Western State Hospitals as a Social Worker. I started my Real Estate career when my daughter turned 2. I somehow thought you could be a part-time realtor!!Now, 30 years later, as a more than full-time realtor, I enjoy the challenge of keeping all the moving parts of a real estate transaction progressing as smoothly as possible. I have been fortunate to work with clients from all over the globe and am grateful to have made many lasting friendships with them.

I enjoy working tirelessly to find the right home for my clients that will make their life work and all the correct spaces that they need to be productive and comfortable. I have extensive experience relocating families and am acutely aware of the best ways to fill buyers’ specific needs with as little stress on them as possible.

Please contact me to meet and see if working together will be a good fit.
