I have lived in Bristol most of my life.  I have two teenage daughters who are both very active in swimming at the high school level.  I have been active in real estate as a Broker/Owner for the past 8 years and highly value my clients and customers.  I serve the entire Northeast Tennessee, Southwest Virginia area.  I encourage the agents in my office to excel in real estate by obtaining education over and above the requirements.  I accomplish this through setting the example.  I believe that in furthering my real estate education, I can assist my clients and customers at a level not available through most other agents.  I hold 5 real estate designations recognized by the National Association of Realtors:

ABR, Accredited Buyer Representative

With over 40,000 members, REBAC is the largest association of real estate professionals focusing on all aspects of buyer representation. Over 30,000 ABR® designees have completed the REBAC course, passed the test and provided documentation of buyer agency experience.

CRB, Certified Real Estate Brokerage Manager

The Certified Real Estate Brokerage Manager (CRB) designation is recognized industry-wide as the measure of success in brokerage and real estate business management. The designation is awarded by the Council of Real Estate Brokerage Managers to REALTORS® who have completed the Council's advanced educational and professional requirements. CRB designees consistently increase their level of industry knowledge, advance their earning and career potential, increase their firm's profitability and benefit from active involvement in our network of real estate professionals. The new CRB Designation Program now provides credit for management experience, higher education and previously earned NAR designations. Additional credits can be earned through the Council's management education programs delivered live or by Self Study on CD-ROM.

Agents can maximize their potential by earning the CRS® Designation and joining the organization that has served top-producing residential sales agents since 1977.

The CRS® Designation is awarded to experienced REALTORS® who complete advanced training in listing and selling, and meet rigorous production requirements.
