I have never approached real estate as a formula. Every property has something
that determines its value to the right buyer, and my job is to recognize it,
bring it forward, and build the marketing around it.
For more than three decades, I have sold real estate, specializing in equestrian
properties. I have also worked as a Director of Sales & Marketing and trained other sales professionals. As Director of Education for the Charlottesville Area
Association of REALTORS®, I launched the association's real estate school and
built it into a highly successful program in Central Virginia. That range lets me
see your property the way a buyer, a seller, and a fellow agent would.
Earlier in my career, I worked in the Los Angeles music business, where
presentation, timing, communication, and holding someone's attention mattered
every day. Those observations still influence the way I market property. A listing
has to be accurate, but it also has to be memorable.
Horses have been another constant. I have owned and managed a barn, ridden
dressage and jumping horses, worked with young horses, lived the daily responsibilities that come with caring for them. I do not have to imagine how an equestrian buyer will look at a farm. I understand the questions because I have asked many of them myself.
I am attentive by nature and independent in the way I work. I notice details,
question assumptions, and do not automatically market a property simply because
that is how it has always been done. If a stronger presentation, different
positioning, better photography, or a change in strategy will improve the
result, I make the change.
Sellers hire me for more than exposure. They hire me to think about the
property, understand what makes it different, and make sure buyers see that
difference clearly.
