Thank You for taking the time to consider my services.


My goal, in every Real Estate Transaction is to listen to my clients, determine what is important to them and to use all my energy and years

of experience to get them there.

I have been a full time Realtor, living in Carlsbad, since 1986 and have worked primarily in North County San Diego.

The bulk of my business is based on referrals from satisfied past clients and friends, and I pride myself on my thoroughness, 

professionalism and my sense of humor to make every transaction enjoyable.

I give full service to my clients, whether Buyers or Sellers.

I take a big part in helping my Sellers stage their home to result in professional photographs that will make the best impression on

“the world stage' of the internet.  I will give an honest opinion of pricing using comparative market analysis and market statistics.  I take the time to interview each perspective buyers' agent and lender when receiving offers, to qualify them, as best I can, before an offer is accepted and escrow is opened. 

I make it my goal, with Buyers, to guide them through the buying process with patience and humor. I want each sale to be the start of building happy memories in their new home and to continue to provide any Real Estate help needed in the future.

Communication is a key factor in keeping every client well informed and comfortable with every decision they make.  I have a network of facilitating team members from Lenders, Inspectors and Escrow and Title officers to help make this process an easy and successful one.

I offer our US Military, spouses and children a financial incentive at the close of escrow through First Team Real Estate's Military On The Move program.
