Red Sox

Official Real Estate
Company of the
Boston Red Sox

I have been living on Cape Cod for the last 25 years and have vacationed here for many years before that. My background is in the medical field and the arts but as my husband is a builder I have always been involved in the Real Estate market. I work closely with him in the architectural design and interior design of the homes that he builds. I find that helps me to assist my clients prepare their homes for sale.
I was named one of the top 100 Realtors in 2012 and the number 2 Realtor on the Cape in 2015 by "Boston's Top 20".
I am also a local Artist and have had my paintings in galleries in Falmouth and Mashpee. I am a strong supporter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the Best Buddies Challenge fundraiser.
The Cape is a pristine and unique environment and the property here is sought after by people around the world. What better place to vacation, retire or just enjoy the ambiance of sparkling blue water and white sandy beaches. Whether you are purchasing a vacation home or a primary residence, your home is a reflection of your personal style and a place where memories will be made for years to come. Let me help you make your home ownership dreams come true. Buying or selling a property is a major life decision and the real estate process requires the careful negotiation of complex issues. I will work to insure your transaction stays on track and on time. My goal is to make your experience a comfortable and rewarding one.

Agent Credentials

Education

After attending Westwood High School, I attended Lasell College as a biology major. After graduation, I applied to Boston school of Cytology which offered cutting edge training in the epidemiology of human cells. It was run by Harvard Medical School and I rotated through all of the Harvard Med School Hospitals for the practical part of the training. After graduating at the top of my class I headed the Cytology department for what is now, Glasko Smith Kline Laboratory. From there, I started the Anatomic Pathology Dept. for Harvard Pilgrim Health Care with Pathologist Barry Berger. After a 23 years in that profession, I got my real estate license in Massachusetts and worked on Cape Cod for 15 years and loved it. I since have moved down to Estero Florida and work for William Raveis Real Estate out of the Naples office.

Personal

My husband has been a builder for the last 30 years. I have done interior design for his business and that has been very useful for me in my real estate business as I can help my clients see the possibilities for houses they are looking at which helps them in their decision making. I am also a local artist and love to paint seascapes, landscapes, horses and anything I find interesting. I have donated my art to my favorite charity, JDRF as well. I have held fundraisers for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation and find that very satisfying. I love to ski but may not be doing that as much since we are so far away from the slopes! My husband and I are avid cyclists and ride 140 miles a week. Last year we did a 62 mile bike ride in Cape Coral! We are planning to do that again this year as well as fundraising bike rides for other causes. That is one of the reasons we moved from Mass to Florida as you can bike all year long. I also love horses, which we had for 10 years when we lived in Massachusetts. Helping my clients find the perfect home is what I love the most. I would love to help anyone who wants to live in our little slice of Paradise find their forever home, or vacation home.
