My husband Charlie and I made the transition to the Rumson area from New York twelve years ago when our triplets were turning five and just about ready to attend kindergarten. Not only were we invested in finding the perfect home for our family -- the one that our children would always remember as the home they grew up in -- but we were was also very concerned about finding the right educational environment for them. Although we found our bliss at the local public school, we familiarized ourselves with all of the local options, and I can help you do the same. Recreational sports, competitive sports, kids clubs, music lessons, the Newcomer’s Club, and volunteer opportunities… I’ve been through it all with my children, and I can share that wealth of knowledge with you to help make your transition an easy one.

Aside from my real estate practice, I assist my husband with his development company. Home & Land Development Corporation, having built or renovated more than 40 homes in the area, is one of the premier construction companies on the peninsula and a wonderful resource for home buyers/sellers. With firsthand experience from both the construction and buy/sell sides, I offer a unique perspective and a vast wealth of experience that transcends the average realtor’s practice. I’d like to share that experience with you as we work together to find you the home you’ve dreamt about all your life.

Moving, whether that means buying, selling, or both, is an important event in your life, and one that should be as stress-free and pleasant as possible. With my numerous years of real estate experience and my unique perspective from the construction and design sides, I can help make your transition a smooth and simple one. Let me guide you through the process by handling the difficult moments, the negotiations, the paperwork, and the hassle. By acting as your intermediary, I can free up your time to attend to other important aspects of your life like your family, children, and your work.

Here’s a fact about me…I’m not pushy, I’m honest. My philosophy is that you’ll know the house that is just right for you when you see it, and no amount of assurance from me, or anyone else for that matter, will give you that “Ah ha” moment, that feeling that “this house is the house for me.” What I can do for you, however, is make sure that you’ve seen everything out there in your price range and everything that meets the parameters you’ve given me to search on your behalf. I’ll share my thoughts on neighborhoods and local trends, and more importantly I’ll give you my honest opinion on the potential for resale and upward mobility.

Ultimately, I believe you’ll be happy working with me and I truly look forward to meeting and working with you. So until then, let me leave you with this very apropos quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes: “Where we love is home – home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.”
