After graduating from St. Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri with a Bachelor of Science degree and becoming a registered nurse, I moved to Vail, in 1972. I lived in Vail until 1975 and worked as a Vail Ski School instructor. I left Vail in 1975, but returned in 1982 and began my real estate career. I joined Coldwell Banker Timberline Real Estate in 1983 and became an Owner/Partner in 1993. I was the Managing Broker from 2004 to 2011. Coldwell Banker Timberline Real Estate merged with Coldwell Banker Distinctive Properties in November 2011. In November 2014 I joined, with three other long-time Coldwell Banker Vail Valley Brokers, to become Coldwell Banker Devonshire West. In August 2016 we all became Brokers with Coldwell Banker Mountain Properties, one of the premier providers of real estate services in Colorado’s Central Mountains. With over 70 real estate professionals, the service area of CBMP encompasses four Colorado counties, numerous municipalities and everywhere in-between. I am thrilled to be a part of this experienced group of Mountain Real Estate Brokers. As well, I am proud to have been, and still be, a Coldwell Banker Broker for the past 34 years.
As well as being a Top Producer within the Coldwell Banker Real Estate Corp., I have held leadership positions for the Vail Board of Realtors, the Colorado Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors. I was a Senior Faculty member for the Colorado Association of Realtors for 22 years.
Most real estate agents work alone, performing the dozens of tasks required to complete a transaction. However, I have adopted a Team concept. I am the Team Leader with additional members on my Team that help me strive to provide an “Exceptional Real Estate Experience”.
I contribute my success to my diligence in working hard for you; keeping you informed from the start-to-finish of your transaction; and, being able to listen to your wants and needs. With 40 years of local knowledge and Resort Real Estate experience, my Team, and I, look forward to working with you.
