To find a home as unique as you are, you need a real estate agent with just as unique skills. I am that agent! 

For ten years and counting, I have been helping people in Washington, DC and the surrounding areas of Bethesda and Silver Spring, MD buy and sell their homes.  But real estate skills are not all I bring to the table. With a Master's degree in structural engineering and 20 years of land development experience, I can explain building codes, read floor plans, and help you best utilize your home's square footage.

My family and I have lived in the DC area for 25 years, so I can offer knowledge and details about neighborhoods, schools, and attractions that other realtors don't have. If you're selling, I specialize in listing properties from downtown condos to million dollar homes. And whether you're a first-time buyer, investor, or need help with a foreclosure or short sale, I have the skills to make the process easier than ever.

Some of my achievements include:

Licensed in DC, MD and VA Top Producer (2005-2009) Weichert Executive's Club Weichert Million Dollar Club Weichert Chairman's Club Member, National Association of Realtors (NAR) Member, Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors (GCAAR) Member, Maryland Association of Realtors Member, Metropolitan Regional Information System (MRIS)

By using a combined strategy of traditional marketing tools and today's social media, I make sure my clients gain an edge through market visibility. I'm committed to living green and encourage my clients to do the same.

Let me put my unique skills to work for your real estate needs.  To learn more, please visit my website.  I look forward to working with you!
