Achievements

Judy has been serving the real estate needs of clients in Milton, Greater Boston and the South Shore since 2004. She's been a Milton resident for 38 years, raising two daughters, who attended Milton schools and went on to graduate from Boston College, like their parents before them. Active in the community, Judy recently served as President of the Friends of the Milton Council on Aging. She has been a library volunteer and, on occasion, a substitute teacher in our wonderful public schools. A former business owner and film producer in the advertising and media production industry, Judy has brought the customer relationship management skills, efficiency, insight and creativity honed in that field to her work with real estate clients.

Professional Specialty

Extensive experience working with those over 55 or so who are considering a move to a more manageable and likely more affordable home as they plan for retirement. Many of my clients have been quite elderly and must move due to changes in their health or financial situations. I have helped them with the disposition of unwanted belongings and finding suitable housing options for the future. Best of all, I truly enjoy working with older people and they like working with me.
