With more than 30 years of Real Estate experience, I am licensed in many areas of specialization to assist you with your Real Estate needs.
THE PRESENT:
**I love helping first time homebuyers find that perfect home & watch the expression on their faces when they are handed their "first home" keys!
**I've also been assisting Senior Citizens recently as they downsize into their one level & more efficient living style- they are encouraged to start a whole new chapter in their lives!
**I see friends and families expanding into larger homes to accommodate growing families, and some to explore "multi-generational" living-one of the new phenomenons we are seeing evolve!
THE PAST: 20+ years with Coldwell Banker & Edina Realty Home Services in Minnesota; selling properties locally as well as training agents for specialized designations. I coordinated and worked with executives moving nationwide with companies such as Xcel Energy, Google, Ebay, Target, NRG, Bonneville Power and Belk Stores; some moving internationally.
EDUCATION: Graduated from University of California with teaching degrees in elementary & secondary ed.
AREAS SERVED: I grew up in Linden Hills neighborhood, my father in Kenwood, my family all attended school in Southwest Minneapolis & most of our immediate family taught in Mpls Public Schools & University of MN. Richfield, Bloomington, St Louis Park, Minnetonka, and select surrounding areas are where friends and aquaintances live...am familiar!
Condos: for those requiring upscale minimalist Urban living
Architectual considerations for those appreciating a particular style or vintage home in select neighborhoods.
