Why do you love what you do? There is no greater satisfaction than helping people find their place called home and the intensely intimate and collaborative relationship in both the home search and sale of a personal home.

What sets you apart from your competition? My hallmark work ethic and joie de vivre, tireless analysis and unique insights, and a deep understanding of beauty and value give me unparalleled expertise—all with a sense of humor mixed in!

Past trends you’d like to see return? I would like to see the return of antiques in design and historic architectural details integrated with the modern technologies and efficiencies of a smart house.

Trends on the horizon? Continued importance of home as “more”: at home gyms, golf simulators, outdoor kitchens, electric charging stations, and multiple “extra” rooms for offices, art or yoga studios, and more.

Best advice you’ve given? Live in Plan A, but always have a good Plan B. It is important to know how to pivot gracefully!
