After college at the University of Memphis,
I immediately started my professional career. Most of my corporate career was
spent with IBM in Memphis, Tennessee; Springfield, Missouri; San Leandro,
California and White Plains, New York. After IBM and as my children were
growing up I worked either full or part-time at a pharmaceutical company, an
oil company, a law firm and eventually the Real Estate business.
Today I am a Full-Time, Licensed Realtor
with GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute)and CRS (Certified Residential Specialist)
credentials. I am a member of NAR (the National Association of Realtors) and
have been a top-producing agent for the past 15 consecutive years. My
individual achievements, professional designations and personal attributes
include the following:
-
18 Years Experience Representing,
Negotiating and Closing Over 1,400 Sales For Both Buyers and
Sellers.

In addition to my Real Estate credentials, I
am actively involved in many local community activities that I consider vital
to my business. Each keeps me in touch with what is going on in the community.
I am active in town and area organizations including the Ridgefield Chamber of
Commerce, Lions Club, the Ridgefield Community Center Women's Committee, The
Keeler Tavern and the Ridgefield Board of Realtors. I also actively support The
Ridgefield Symphony, The Ridgefield Playhouse, Ridgefield ABC House (A Better
Chance), The Danbury Women's Shelter, the Ridgefield High School Hockey and
Basketball Teams and the Ridgefield Historical Society.
Professional Designations, Civic
Organization Membership and Personal Achievements are important for you to know
because they can help you clarify the level of experience and local market
knowledge a Real Estate agent has to offer you. In addition, I believe another
important selection criteria is how the agent you select will work with you and
add value to your efforts. I have included an outline that describes "How I
Will Work With You To Add Value". All together, it is the best description I
can provide of how I will listen to you, work hard to earn your trust and
respect, conduct myself ethically, honestly and professionally-to guide you
through the complexities and nuances that you will encounter.
How I Will Work With You To Add
Value!:

I'll Do The Legwork
of
finding, sifting through and evaluating property, as well as not-so-obvious
related information and knowledge that will help you make intelligent
choices.
-
Offer Solutions
for every
dilemma. During each step of the process, there are choices to be made before
continuing on the path forward. I cannot imagine a situation that I have not
encountered or a problem that I have not solved. My in-depth experience can
help you find opportunity amongst the alternatives, tradeoffs, and
compromises.
