What do you like most about real estate?

I love being a part of such a huge decision in people’s lives. I have always been a people person and like to find out what someone is looking for and what their end goal is. I have an instinct competitive side to me which helps my clients achieve what they are looking to do!

Who inspires you right now?

I am in an elite group within Compass called PCN (Private Client Network). We are 72 Realtors all over the country and we refer our relocation clients to each other with white glove service. It is an amazing group of dynamos that I’m honored to be a part of and we all collaborate without ego.

Market trends you anticipate in 2023?

I’m still seeing a lot of white, but color is slowly coming back in fabrics, wallpaper, accent cabinetry, and artwork. Separate office spaces, outdoor living, and pools are in demand as well.

Advice for a new agent?

Be yourself, be honest and ethical, and always put your clients’ needs ahead of yours in a transaction.

Most looking forward to in 2023?

I am very prepared, ready to go. I feel more organized with all of my Compass tools and technology that streamline my transactions, which allows me to just go out and sell real estate.
