Why you love what you do? I have a passion for residential real estate. I love to help people with this critical transition in life.

What sets you apart from your competition? I offer the perfect balance of personal touch and business savvy. My husband and business partner Tom McCleary is an incredible asset, with an MBA and extensive financial market experience. Tom and I are involved with our clients every step of the way and provide them with expertise, a high level of attention, and concierge-level service.

Best thing about 2021 was? My years of experience, acute market knowledge, and relationships made all the difference for my clients this past year. Whether it was winning a bidding war for that hard to find dream house, or elevating a home so that we get the best sales price, my clients’ objectives are my number one priority.

Best advice you’ve given? Residential real estate is serious business and should be treated as such. Homes are most people’s largest financial asset.
