Real Estate Broker

• Oct 2016 - Present

Prior to becoming a realtor, I spent several years working as a paralegal at a top family law firm in the Northern Virginia area. I attribute my negotiation tactics and meticulous attention to detail to my experience with this firm. However, my true passion and purpose is to serve the greater community by being a trusted advisor and advocate to my real estate clients. I believe that buying and selling real estate is more than just numbers, it’s about people. I am committed to achieving my client’s goals, no matter how ambitious or conservative they may appear, as each accomplishment contributes to the larger vision of serving the broader community. I conduct business with integrity, respect, and humility. I maintain that my passion for serving the individuals and families I encounter as that which converts a simple real estate transaction into a lifestyle transformation. Show less
