About Me

I didn't set out to become a real estate agent. I got here through spreadsheets.

Before real estate, I built a career in finance — corporate roles in IT and banking, an MBA in finance tucked under my arm, and a habit of looking at numbers before I look at anything else. Somewhere along the way (2010), the Great Depression hit, jobs were lost, and I found my way working for a Real Estate Investor. That's the door I actually walked through into this business — not as an agent first, but as an investor asking the same question every buyer and seller asks: is this actually a good decision?

That background never left me. I'm still, at heart, a data girl. When I look at a property, I'm paying attention to value, condition, the improvements that are actually worth making, negotiation risk, and what the home may still need after the offer is signed and everyone's popped the champagne. I research constantly — new strategies, new ways to buy and sell, what's actually working in this market versus what used to work. There's no one-size-fits-all playbook in real estate, and I'd rather build you the right plan than hand you the standard one.

What that looks like in practice

I work with sellers regardless of why they're selling — new construction, short sales, foreclosures, probate, or simply "it's time." I also provide multiple options to Sellers. I work with buyers and investors across both residential and commercial property. And in every case, I'd rather tell you something you don't want to hear now than something you'll be upset about later.

If a repair isn't going to pay you back, I'll say so. If an offer carries risk you don't need to take on, we'll talk it through before you sign anything. And if you're stretching for a house that isn't the right one, I'll tell you that too — even if it means walking away from a deal. My job is to make sure you're glad you made the decision, five years from now.

The credentials, for the record

MBA in Finance. Real estate designations in PSA (Pricing Strategy Analysis), RENE (Real Estate Negotion Expert), and SRS (Sellers Representation Specialist). Backed by the network and resources of United Real Estate New Jersey, so you get both the personal attention of an individual agent and the infrastructure of a larger brokerage behind you.

Why I actually do this

I joined real estate to raise the bar for what is, for most people, the biggest financial decision of their lives. I take the time to actually understand your situation — your timeline, your finances, your non-negotiables — before I ever recommend a path forward.

Because in the end, this isn't about closing a file. It's about building a relationship that lasts well past closing day. I'd love the chance to earn not just your business, but your referral — by giving you an experience worth talking about for years to come.
