Little-known fact

Growing up, I moved every 2 years, it was not the military!

My parents worked for an international nonprofit. I lived in 7 cities & 3 countries by the time I was 18. I speak Spanish & French.

I have now lived in my same house for over 30 years. Real estate resonates with me because I like helping people plant roots.
