Welcome!

I am an Atlanta native and made the decision in 2007 to leave my job as an architect/urban planner to get my real estate license. This was a difficult decision but has been great since my very first day in my new career and I am really enjoying it! It is so rewarding helping people find that perfect home, and it allows me to continue to satiate my love of good architecture and great neighborhoods!

I attended Georgia Tech (GO JACKETS!!!!) which is where I met my husband. For almost a decade we lived in one of Atlanta's fabulous in-town neighborhoods in a great 1920's Craftsman bungalow with our two dogs and two cats. Following the birth of our first child, we bought a foreclosure in the west Buckhead area and fully renovated it using an FHA 203k loan, which was a fun and sometimes daunting process. And just prior to the birth of our second child, we purchased and renovated a home in downtown Historic Roswell, completing our personal tour of some of Atlanta's best neighborhoods to live in!

I decided to create this blog in order to share useful information and resources about the real estate market and home buying process, as well as hopefully bring some humor and levity to what is often a complex and intimidating process. Enjoy!!!

I sold this townhome in 34 days!!!!!



From the day I listed it to the day we had it under binding contract, this townhome was on the market for less than 35 days!!!!!! This just goes to show that with an experienced and hardworking agent, today's "down market" is not a hinderance! How did I do it? Here are just a few of the services I provide that made the difference:
  • Carefully stage the property with an eye to detail in order to present the best first impression to the potential buyes
  • Agressively and creatively market the property through direct mailers, premium online advertising, professional & eye-catching promotional materials, and community-wide open houses & caravans
  • Provide a packet of information for potential buyers which includes items like the Seller's Disclosure, estimated utilities, complex & community amenities, HOA information, and plenty of pofessional-grade photographs of the property

I sold this poperty in almost a third of the time other properties in this complex have sold for in the past 6 months, and we got over 97% of our asking price!
