Personal
A proud resident of Guilford and the Connecticut Shoreline, I bring something few agents can offer, a lifetime of genuine, firsthand knowledge of this community. Having watched Shoreline grow and evolve over the years, I understand its neighborhoods, its people, and its potential in a way that only comes from truly calling a place home. With over 25 years of experience in real estate and as a proud member of the William Raveis Real Estate family, I have built a career grounded in trust, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to my clients. Whether navigating a competitive market or guiding a first-time buyer, I bring the expertise and steady hand that only decades in the business can provide. As a parent of two adult children and grandparent of five, I am deeply invested in the kind of community we build and the homes we create within it. That personal stake drives my commitment to helping families find not just a house, but the right place to plant their own roots. My passion for travel has taken me across six continents through Africa, Alaska, Russia, the Baltics, Europe, Great Britain, Panama, Latin America, South America, and the Middle East.Experiencing the world's diverse cultures and communities has given me a unique ability to connect with clients from all backgrounds, listen carefully, and deliver results with professionalism and care. Whether you are buying your first home, selling a beloved property, or making a strategic investment, I bring local expertise, a global perspective, and a personal touch to every transaction. Real estate is not just my profession,it is my privilege. Ready to make your next move? I would love to help. Reach out today and let's start the conversation.
