Why I Sell Houses So My Dogs Can Have A Better Life

It started as a joke.

“I sell houses so my dogs can have a better life.”

But over time, I realized it’s true.

Real estate, for me, has always been about more than transactions. It’s about creating environments that support peace, well-being, and possibility—for people and their pets alike.

Whether it’s a quiet garden for reflection, a kitchen that inspires connection, or a downsized home that brings ease after a life transition, the spaces we live in shape our lives. Helping people find or release those spaces is what I do best.

A Calm, Confident Approach to Real Estate

With over 27 years of experience and more than 262 homes sold, I’ve built a business grounded in trust, discretion, and results.

• 71% of my clients return.
• 29% refer others.
• 71% of my work is representing sellers.

I specialize in helping clients navigate pivotal life transitions—whether that’s selling a luxury estate, managing an inherited property, or downsizing with grace. I hold multiple designations, including:

• Associate Broker
• Luxury Property Specialist
• Seniors Real Estate Specialist
• Historic House Specialist
• Accredited Buyer Representative

Each one allows me to tailor my service to your unique needs.
