Growing up in a family with a rich tradition of military service, instilled in me the value of service to Country as well as a deep belief that as Americans, we should not only count our blessings, but do all we can to improve the lives of others. Through the National Guard Fishing Team, I was able to positively impact the lives of soldiers and disabled veterans. Now as a REALTOR®, I bring that same commitment of service to my clients, many of whom I am proud to say are veterans of all ages and backgrounds. If you are a veteran or service member and are thinking about improving your quality of life, I have a couple of questions for you.
Do you love the lake? The view, swimming, fishing, sunrises and sunsets? So do I. Plus, scientific evidence shows that being close to bodies of water promotes mental health and happiness [Blue Mind].
As a former full-time angler on the professional tournament scene and a fishing guide for more than a decade, I live, sleep and breathe the lake lifestyle. In fact, when I’m not helping clients to have a simple, convenient lake real estate buying or selling experience, you’ll find me — rod and reel in hand — on the wide-open waters of Lake Murray.
In pursuit of my passion for woods and water, I earned my degree in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences from the Purdue University Agriculture School, division of Forestry. Specializing in lake homes and land as a residential real estate agent for Lake Homes Realty – the nation’s largest lake-focused real estate company – allows me to use this passion to help others.
With more than 20 years of experience in purchasing, selling, marketing, negotiating and customer service, I possess intimate knowledge about Lake Murray’s real estate market and the nuances of the reservoir itself. More importantly, I understand the importance of actively listening to what you are seeking in your future home.
In order to better serve my clients, I have continued to increase my skills, proficiency, and knowledge in every aspect of the real estate industry. My current real estate designations and certifications include: Military Relocation Professional (MRP), Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR), Seller Representative Specialist (SRS), Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS), Accredited Luxury Home Specialist (ALHS), Resort & Second-Home Property Specialist (RSPS), Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES), Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource (SFR), Green Home Designation (GREEN), At Home With Diversity (AHWD), Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE), Pricing Strategies Advisor (PSA) and Technology & Social Media Marketing (e-PRO).
Whether you are looking for an entry level home, land to build, an investment home, summer home, retirement home or lake home, I would be honored to be YOUR local real estate expert.
