Business Philosophy: Achieving quality results fast with integrity, honesty and care has always been about working smart, developing an efficient successful strategy with every client and combining the best industry tools with the most current industry information. My team and I deliver outstanding results while taking great care with every detail! Experience: Always living near the seashore in Connecticut with my family has truly been the happiest time of my life. Navigating our boat during leisure time to nearby islands and discovering the nuances of island life and living, is great fun. Beachcombing and learning about sea life is a favorite pastime. Charting a winning navigation course for the boat is both fun and requires accuracy and skill; charting a winning course in the Real Estate Industry requires similar focus, accuracy and skill to reach your desired result in the best way possible! I am an outstanding navigator; negotiator and am with you every step of the way through the home purchase process – whether you are a luxury purchaser or a 1st time home buyer you have my full dedication and loyalty! In addition to real estate, I enjoy writing. My current creative project includes writing and illustrating a children's book about the importance of "home, family and friends"…based on a true story soon to be published. The recent economic downturn took many families on unexpected journeys…some pleasant and some more challenging. This particular story is a timely piece utilizing my real estate experience to write about a family that lost their home…and then found a new home…a happy ending! The story is told through the eyes and heart of a child and expresses the importance of "home, family and friends". I hope my insight and sensitivity in my business and my writing will help people through whatever they face in their lives.
