I am a NC licensed real estate agent with a passion for helping clients find the perfect space to grow and celebrate family. Licensed since 2017, I bring a unique blend of professional expertise and a deep understanding of what truly makes a house a home. Originally from the coastal city of Wilmington, NC, I relocated to Smithfield, NC in 2017. This personal experience of moving and establishing roots gives me an empathetic perspective and a hands-on understanding of the local market and the needs of both newcomers and long-time residents. For me, real estate is more than a transaction—it is a fundamental part of life. My philosophy centers on the belief that a home is a place where one can build a life, create memories, and find sanctuary. My eye for potential and detail is honed by over 25 years of experience in cosmetology and cosmetic arts. This background cultivated exceptional listening skills, attention to fine points, and a dedication to helping clients achieve their vision. Off-hours, I channel my creativity into home makeovers, particularly enjoying painting and home organization projects. This hands-on hobby directly benefits my clients, as I can offer invaluable advice on staging, presentation, and seeing past surface imperfections to recognize a property's true value and potential. Whether you are a first-time buyer, looking to sell, or seeking your next investment, I am committed to providing a seamless, insightful, and personalized real estate experience.
I work on a few simple philosophies:
Every house is the RIGHT house for you at the RIGHT price.
Every house is the WRONG house for you at the WRONG price.
Remember, you don't make your money when you sell your house, you make it when you buy!!!
And finally, there is NO such thing as a once in a lifetime deal...there will always be another one.
My reviews are not from family members 'fluffing' and artificially inflating my ratings....they come from actual clients, all of whom by the end of their transactions I can energetically call friends.
I will work tirelessly for you. Those aren't empty words, I promise. And if we have to visit every house in the state to find the right one for you, then you're probably too picky :)

I'm excited to get to know you!
