Agent Credentials

Personal

As a 27-year resident of Wilton, my knowledge of the area is extensive. My husband and I moved here in 1995, shortly before the birth of our son. We have enjoyed living in Fairfield County for its combination of natural features: parks, trails, lakes and Long Island Sound for boating, sailing, swimming and beaches, a variety of private and public golf courses and clubs, as well as the great restaurants, theatre, music events and shopping the area provides. We plan to stay for many more years! I am an avid golfer, love to read and write, and enjoy watching other people garden! I love working in Fairfield County and meeting so many wonderful people and helping them to realize their real estate goals. Building my business over the last two decades has been challenging but very rewarding!

Professional Specialty

My knowledge of luxury properties and the nuances of fine construction and how to promote them are a great asset to my clients. To me, when listing a home, every one is special and I make it a point to communicate that uniqueness and appeal in the most creative ways; through video, twilight and drone photography, and fabulous copy. When serving buyers, my specialty is listening and finding the fit. Sometimes buyers aren't quite sure what they want until they see a number of properties, and sometimes their tastes can expand with the right house. My Harvard Business School Negotiation course was a difficult but extremely rewarding process that honed my skills to facilitate deals that deliver for my clients, and explore creative ways to get to 'yes'.

Bilingual Talents

As a confirmed Francophile, I fulfilled a life-long dream to live in France for a while in 2018. After many trips to Paris, I selected Aix-en-Provence for my adventure and rented a lovely apartment with a terrace and views of Mont St Victoire on the Rue Boulegon. I attended French classes for four hours a day at the IS-Aix school and immersed myself in French culture, making friends from around the world. The five weeks seemed like a long time in planning but was over in the blink of an eye! My command of the language improved dramatically but was not enough to become fluent, so one of my long term goals is to have an even longer experience in France.

• College -level knowledge of French

Experience

20 years in the real estate business has provided me with insights into every kind of market, and I have truly seen it all! Up, down and all around- which gives me a sharp lens to advise both sellers and buyers in any kind of market. My marketing plans are not a one-size-fits all grid, but are based in a true understanding of the property and its' unique features, based on a very deep dive into the details. I focus on my clients goals, the target buyer profile, competition and current market conditions, using data, experience and intuition. You'll never be passed off to another team member, but you'll have the support of everyone on my team to help stage, process and construct a successful plan for YOUR property. I look forward to working with you!

Niche Marketing

Different strokes for different folks: tailoring a marketing strategy for individual markets is critical to success! Luxury properties require a vast canvas of media avenues, a special eye to the things that make it special, and a writing ability to convey it with captivating copy to the right people. Modern homes need to have marketing as sleek as the architecture, and antiques reflect a coziness that must be communicated through the copy and photos. Whatever your home is, I will find its special elements and bring them up front and center to prospective buyers.
