With my extensive background in new home construction and sales, it was a natural transition to get my real estate license and combine my knowledge and experience on the building side of the business with real estate sales and marketing.  As an award winning builder from Macon, Georgia, I was selected to build the first ever Southern Living Showcase Home in my hometown in 1996. I've been the recipient of such honors as Best Kitchen Design and Best Bath Design by my industry peers and I have served two terms as the Director of the Macon Homebuilder's Association.

Today, as a REALTOR®, I offer full real estate services to my clients, working with Sellers to market their homes and working with Buyers to find the right home.  As a builder, I understand the dynamics of the housing market, zoning issues and requirements, costs of materials and labor, and the value of features and design.  I am pleased to be able to pass this unique perspective onto my clients and attribute my success as a REALTOR® to my extensive industry knowledge.  Of course, I believe that my background in education helps too...I not only rely on my expertise as a builder to assist and advise my clients on selling or buying a home, but also on my skills as a former teacher to help walk my clients through the complex processes inherent in any real estate transaction to ensure they're making educated and informed decisions.

What do all these designations mean?  It means that I've taken the time and made the effort to further my education and gain further expertise in certain areas. The better prepared and more knowledgeable I am, the better I can serve my clients! See what others have to say about me and my services!      That's Zachary on my shoulder...he whistles the theme from the "Andy Griffith Show" when he feels like showing off...

My husband Jim and I live on St. Simons Islands along with our cockatiel Zackary.  As builders, we move a lot so we are in our 5th home on the Island!  When not building or selling homes, I enjoy cooking and traveling and spending time with our family.

That would be Jim and me, apparently burning up the  dance floor...
