I specialize in residential real estate in the Albuquerque Metropolitan Area. I grew up in the Albuquerque area and I actively invest here, so I know the market extremely well. I am a full time professional Associate Broker with Keller Williams Realty and an active member of the New Mexico Association of Realtors. I continually update my education by taking courses offered through the association and stay current on legal issues related to home ownership, local market conditions and financing resources. I am happy to handle listings and house hunting in all of the Albuquerque metro area as well as the East Mountains, West Mesa/Rio Rancho, North and South Valley and Bernalillo areas. 

I became a Realtor because I enjoy helping people achieve their financial and personal goals through smart real estate investments. I appreciate the trust my clients have placed in me with each listing and enjoy helping first-time buyers find the right home. My goal is to see you happy with your real estate experience. I am not out for volume but quality. I handle my own clients and don't refer my clients off to assistants. I have strong negotiating skills and over 25 years of customer service experience. I am a strong advocate of internet advertising and use technology in a way that benefits my clients. I am not afraid to work with clients that search on their own and will represent your best interest, not mine. My business grows through referrals and I treat each and every client like I want to be treated during a real estate transaction. I am happy to provide references upon request. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

My real estate career started in 1999 when I took the first step in obtaining my license by attending night school at a local real estate training academy. By February 2000, I was ready to start my career as a full-time Realtor® with Coldwell Banker Legacy in Albuquerque. My first buyer was a single mom raising two children. I met her at an open house. A month or so later, she was moving her family into a beautiful home with a nice yard and close to a city park. I was hooked. Real estate had found its way from my head to my heart.

My first year in real estate came to an end culminating when I was selected as Rookie of the Year by my peers at the Board of Realtors®. In 2003, I was asked by company leadership to join the management team as a Qualifying Broker for our agent training program. A year later, I was the Qualifying Broker for the largest real estate office in the state. In 2003, I enrolled at the University of New Mexico’s Executive MBA (Master of Business Administration) program. By 2005, I had grown my office to over 100 agents, received my MBA degree, and had decided to return to real estate sales as an agent.

In 2007, I left Coldwell Banker Legacy and started my own real estate brokerage. I could see that real estate was going to change dramatically and decided to obtain my insurance and security licenses so I could offer these services to my real estate clients and other real estate professionals. I soon found I was really good at this business and started focusing my attention on a full-time basis.

In 2013, I returned to real estate with Keller Williams Realty. I was immediately successful and real estate had once again found its way to my heart.

If you're in the market to buy or sell a home, I'd like to "apply" for the job as your REALTOR. Give me a call or send an email and let me go to work for you.

I attended the University of New Mexico and graduated with my Bachelor of Business Administration from the Robert O. Anderson School of Management. Subsequently, I moved to Boston and worked for the Bank of Boston in their accelerated Manager Trainee Program.
In 1992, I returned to New Mexico and embarked upon what has been an exciting Real Estate Career. Immediately, I was exposed to a “sellers market” and learned the complexities involved in writing an offer in competitive situations - especially one that would be accepted by the seller!

My real expertise in this industry has developed as the market continues to change. The evolvement of a “sellers market” into a “buyers market” caused me to develop strategies for effective marketing recognizing the importance of pricing a home correctly.

In 2003 I relocated to Newport Beach and spent a couple of years working in the Luxury Real Estate Market in California. The experience was invaluable and the knowledge gave me a fresh prospective on the Albuquerque Market.

As the real estate market has continued to ebb and flow, and as I have gained more experience, referrals from clients, friends and family have been a primary source of my business. I am honored to have earned the trust and respect from those who have experienced working with me.

As we emerge from the most challenging market in decades it is my commitment to sell homes in Albuquerque. My expertise in this market and in negotiations pared with my loyalty to you as my client promises a successful real estate experience. After all, your satisfaction with my performance is essential to my ultimate success.

I specialize in the art of listening. I want to really understand what you are looking for, and not looking for - and how you'd like to move through your real estate transactions. It's all about communication and efficiency. I am passionate about real estate, and am thrilled to have made this transition from the film industry (where I worked as a production coordinator for several years). I look forward to working with you and exceeding your expectations!
