25+ Years of Local Pride & Entrepreneurship.
Before launching into a celebrated 25+ year real estate career, I spent years in retail buying and promotion. That entrepreneurial background gives me a distinct edge when negotiating deals and strategically presenting local properties.
I hold specialized designations as a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) and a Certified Real Estate Negotiation Expert (CREN), dedicating my practice to helping families, empty nesters, and seniors move through major life transitions with ease. I specialize in creative strategies, including off-market property searches to help buyers win in tight neighborhoods where inventory moves in days, not months.
I work across all of Hamilton County — Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, and Westfield — plus Zionsville and Whitestown in neighboring Boone County. Most communities here sit 20 to 30 miles from downtown Indianapolis with commutes under 45 minutes, giving residents a suburban lifestyle with easy city access.
When I'm off active duty you'll find me snow skiing on mountain slopes, caring for my horses, undertaking DIY home renovations, or spending precious time as a proud grandmother (known to my grandbabies as Mimi!).
"Hamilton County is one of the fastest-growing counties in the Midwest, with a population that has more than doubled since 2000 — rising from roughly 182,000 to an estimated 387,000 by 2025."
