My husband, Dean, our two daughters, Shannon & Jamie, and I have always had a special place in our hearts for Emerald Isle. Originally from Henderson, North Carolina, Emerald Isle has been our family vacation spot since the late ‘70’s. I now provide the best real estate service and knowledge for anyone buying or selling. My greatest reward has been the repeat business I receive from my clients. As I like to say, “The best compliment I receive is a referral from you.” I look forward to hearing from you if I can assist you with any of your real estate needs. My family’s desire to live by the ocean brought me to the Emerald Isle area 25 years ago. Always having a love of real estate, it didn’t take long to find a home at Emerald Isle Realty where I’ve been able to enjoy a career working with my Buyers and my Sellers helping them realize their goals and dreams from selling their prized investment or treasured family homestead to making the biggest purchase of their life. I’m honored to be a recipient of the Barefoot Broker Spirit Award from Emerald Isle Realty and the Professional Service Award from the Carteret County Association of REALTORS®. I am a consistent top producer earning Platinum and Gold production awards for the past 2 years. So, when you’re ready, give me a call, because I know just how stressful your endeavor can be when buying or selling real estate and I promise to help make your transaction as worry-free and simple as possible. Moving from the High Point/Greensboro area, Emerald Isle has been my home since 1993. After 18 years of owning my own business, Data Preparation, Inc., I decided to make a career change and selling real estate along the Crystal Coast seemed like the natural choice. I am a Graduate of the North Carolina REALTORS® Institute, a member of the Certified Residential Specialist, a consistent Multi-Million Dollar producer and I enjoy selling real estate on beautiful Emerald Isle. Whether you are looking to buy a scenic waterfront cottage, a vacation getaway, or a quiet suburban home, I listen to your needs – locating excellent values, skilled negotiation, and coordination of financing. If you are thinking of selling you property, ask me about my unique marketing plan – getting you the best price possible in the shortest amount of time. Moving in the Right Direction! As a native of the Crystal Coast, I can’t think of another place I’d prefer to live. I love the land, the waters, the people and our simplistic way of life. Because of this, I enjoy a successful real estate career. The real estate advantages I offer come from my experience in property management (beneficial for investors) and my involvement in the community, church and schools (beneficial for relocating families). I am a graduate of UNC- Wilmington with a BA Degree in Education. I am married to Budda and have two children, Riley and Coley. I strive to instill in my children a great appreciation for our area and provide experiences that build fond childhood memories—like those I enjoy as a result of growing up at the beach. Whether relocating or searching for a vacation home, I can assist you in the process of building memories for your family when purchasing on the Crystal Coast. I am a full time real estate agent, dedicated to providing knowledgeable, friendly service. SUMMER 2019 | 7
