When looking for a realtor you want someone you can trust, someone who is honest, has integrity and knows the market. I grew up Cahokia, and lived in several towns like Hecker, Waterloo, Freeburg, and Belleville.

As a young girl, I always enjoyed the outdoor life, my adventurous nature often involved riding bikes, playing softball, swimming, and a lot of walking. If forced to stay indoors, I could always keep myself entertained watching American Bandstand, Abbott & Costello, Laurel and Hardy, a Jerry Lewis movie or, of course, a baseball game.

As a former paralegal/legal assistant for nearly 30 years the knowledge I gained in contract language and negotiating has been invaluable to my commitment to my clients. I have seen a lot of right and wrong in my past career to know that hard work, honesty and integrity are what feeds my compassion and empathy to do the right thing for my clients.

I have metamorphosed from my childhood and past legal career into this crazy real estate lady; you know, riding hard to get to appointments, negotiating the balls and strikes of contract language and inspections, laughing while having a cool drink with a new friend and taking a nice walk to the closing table!
