I'm a long time resident of Hampton Roads and NE North Carolina, moving here when I was 3, and I think it's truly a fantastic place to live. Prior to selling real estate, I spent 38 years in the social work/mental health field, serving adults and children in unsafe situations, and supervising a team of social workers. Through this work I've learned a few things that I believe will benefit you as you look to buy or sell a home.  First, listen, always listen, and listen some more, to what my clients are telling me. Second, manage stress and work through challenges by knowing my business and being creative with overcoming stumbling blocks. Third, I learned to multi-task on an extreme level. And, finally, I learned the beauty of serving others. My #1 goal when helping you to buy your new home or sell your current home, is to make it as smooth as possible and to minimize stress you may feel.  I'm hoping I can replicate my own home buying experience, which was mostly enjoyable and which lead to a home that so perfectly suits me that I'm still happily there after 35 years. I want to make sure your home is just what you've been dreaming of or that the sale of you home results in you realizing your expectations.
