Highlight of your 2020 volume? Continuous hard work and persistence. Despite fracturing my ankle and being on crutches, I closed over $31 million in transactions.

What sets you apart from your competition? I listen to and understand my clients’ needs, I’m available at all times, have deep knowledge of the local market, innovative marketing skills, and a strong presence in the community. My global connections, diverse background, and vast network give me an advantage in assisting my clients.

What’s the first thing you tell your clients? We are a team, working together to sell or buy a home. I will always look out for my clients’ best interests and give them my honest opinion and assist them with the whole process.

Most looking forward to in 2021? Continuing to establish relationships with my awesome clients. I’m grateful for the opportunities that allow me to follow my passion—my work.
