Professional Specialty

I presently list and sell residential properties in Cape Cod - after twenty three years selling on the shoreline in Connecticut. I specialize in single family homes, second homes, vacation homes, condominiums, and investment properties. In October 2026 I will celebrate 26 years in the Real business. Experience counts! After twenty five years selling real estate in CT, I have returned to Cape Cod, my place of birth, to continue my real estate career. I am proud to leave CT with my best year ever, in $9 million in sales volume.

Community Involvement

I was proud to be selected as one of sixteen agents on Cape Cod in 2024 to participate in the Leadership Academy through the Cape Cod and Islands Association of Realtors. As a result, my team won a grant from the National Association of Realtors to further educate Cape Cod and Island Realtors about efforts to reduce the nitrogen levels in the waterways which threaten the delicate ecosystem. Focusing on the Friends of Bass River, and Friends of Barnstable Harbor, we are inspiring involvement and enthusiasm for cleaning the waterways we all cherish.

Personal

I finally came home to my roots on Bass River (South Yarmouth, Cape Cod) in November 2023, after a lifetime of missing it. I missed the river, the smell of the salt air, all my childhood favorite places, and the sandy beaches. However, a big part of my heart will always be on the CT Shoreline where I lived for over 30 years, and have the best friends and clients in the world. I'm lucky to be able to continue serving my clients in CT through my affiliation with the Guilford office, as well as create new ones here on the Cape. Be sure to remember me if anyone you know is looking for a house on the Cape! I am passionate about helping to preserve the delicate ecosystem and waterways on Cape Cod, specifically Bass River - which, through the efforts of Friends of Bass River, is beginning to heal from the nitrogen overload that has hurt it.

Born on Cape Cod and raised in Fairfield County, I lived my adult life in Guilford, CT (since 1994) with my husband and two children. I began selling real estate on the CT Shoreline in 2000.

Experience

Before my Real Estate career began 24 years ago, I spent ten years doing emergency relief work around the world through AmeriCares, based in CT. There is nothing like emergency relief work to prepare a person for surprises that arise in Real Estate transactions. Challenges demand negotiation skills, quick thinking, knowledge of the industry and sensitivity to all parties involved. I attribute my ability to navigate even the most challenging real estate scenarios not only to the excellent William Raveis education and support, but also to the stamina gained and lessons learned through the relief work.

Licensed in Connecticut since 2000.

Licensed in Massachusetts since 9/2023

Past instructor of Real Estate Principals and Practices

2022-2023 Office provider of services for SIRVA - Worldwide Relocation and Moving Services

Areas Covered

I am licensed in Massachusetts, concentrating primarily on Cape Cod, while still maintaining strong referral relationships on the Connecticut Shoreline where I began my real estate career, and built a client base and friendships over the past 25 years. Having grown up in the summers on Bass River (South Yarmouth, MA) and raised my family in Guilford, CT, I have deep roots in these areas. I am grateful for referrals to and from these areas!
