Being a southern girl who grew up in a small town in Virginia, I learned the importance of community and family at a very early age. That is why after a decade of providing the best customer service and building life-long customers for someone else, I decided to become a REALTOR®. I realized that helping someone you care about make their real estate dreams a reality is truly amazing! I love being able to put my passion and experience to work for you, and being the owner has made that possible and so much more. It has given me the opportunity to help so many clients buy or sell their home and to give back to the community.

I have had the extreme honor of helping bring you some great events this year from egg hunts, movie nights to casino night as the Event Director of the Association of Residents and Owners here in Hidden Meadows and Rimrock. I have had the best time teaching art lessons in my girls' classes as a Fine Arts Volunteer Educator at Reidy Creek School. I never stop being amazed by the astonishing artwork that comes from the creativity of 5 to 7 year olds! That is how old my girls are, so I haven't had the privilege to work with other age groups yet, but I can't wait. My husband and I have met some wonderful people who have changed our lives in incredible ways!

I can't wait to share the beauty of North San Diego County with you! It is more than a community, it is a family, and family is about building lasting relationships. I can't wait to make you part of the family! So whether you, your family, or your friends are in need of my services, I am here for you! Remember when you work with Coldwell Banker Prestige Properties, you have a Real Estate Partner for life!

After working at a "real" job for more years than I care to remember, I decided to "retire" from the harsh corporate world. I wasn't however ready to retire completely. So, I decided to try my hand at real estate, and over 15 years later, it stuck. It has given me the opportunity to work with a lot of very interesting people, help them settle as my family has here in the Meadows, and enjoy what I do!

My wife, Inge, and I have had the pleasure of calling Hidden Meadows home for many years and have found many great friends. What more could you want than good friends and neighbors, a competitive round of golf everyday, and amazing weather. Let me show you what the Meadows has to offer you!

I am so happy to be affiliated with Coldwell Banker Prestige Properties. I began my real estate career in 2002. Having lived in North San Diego County for over 42 years, including Hidden Meadows for the past 10, I consider myself an expert on the market. I know the area, and I know the inventory!

Not only am I a REALTOR®, I am a real estate investor as well. My husband and I have acquired several properties here in San Diego County. They continue to be the best financial investments we have ever made. I only wish I had started investing 42 years ago, but then I was busy being a little kid, enjoying the magic of childhood in beautiful Southern California!

Who would ever imagine what the real estate prices would be today! I would love for you to enjoy the same rewards that I have from owning real estate in San Diego. Whether you are looking for the home of your dreams for your family to grow in or wanting to scale down now that the kids have moved out, I can get you to that destination. Maybe you just want some income properties to invest in, to build your portfolio. I can help you find it. Let's get started! I'm waiting to hear from you!

My wife and I moved to Escondido 20 years ago excited to be part of a brand new church.  We feel fortunate to have raised our two daughters here in North County, and we feel blessed to think of it as our home.  We would not consider living anywhere else.

From a very young age, I worked for my father’s retail/customer service oriented business.  I have used the skills I learned then to improve client satisfaction at other companies ever since.  My 20 years of experience in management have taught me the negotiation skills needed to “get the job done”.

I chose to work at Coldwell Banker Prestige Properties because I feel it offers the most benefit to my clients.  Coldwell Banker has the best tools that allow me to service all your real estate needs quickly and effectively.  They have invested over 40 million dollars in their web-based presence.  Coldwell Banker Real Estate ranked "Highest Overall Satisfaction For Home Sellers Among National Full Service Real Estate Firms" according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2009 Buyer/Seller Study™.

My goal is to make your real estate transaction as smooth and stress free as possible with my honesty, integrity, clear communication and hard work!  Call me today to see how I can help you with all your real estate needs.

I love helping my clients discover beautiful Hidden Meadows where I live with my husband Dayton. I am active in the community serving on the Hidden Meadows Foundation Board and volunteering at Palomar Hospital.

Having my California Real State license along with holding a Colorado Real Estate license, I now can service my clients who want to look for that vacation home, second home or investment property. I can help my clients who are ready to relocate or look for the perfect retirement home. The real estate market is changing everyday, and now may be the best time for making that second home or investment property purchase. With the drop of real estate pricies in many areas purchasing our " DREAM HOME" may finally be possible.

I believe that when working with people on their real estate needs I truly am working for you! Whether you are buying or selling your home, my job as a professional is to help make the process as uncomplicated as possible. I work through the entire process with my clients and keep them informed every step of the way. I, the Managing Brokers, and the Team of Real Estate Experts have the experience and knowledge to make your transaction a success.

I now live in sunny Southern California after being a resident of Loveland, Colorado for 25 years and am very knowledgeable of the Northern Colorado and Mountain Market. In 2007, I made the move to the San Diego, California area and have found my home with Coldwell Banker Prestige Properties. This has furthered the services I can provide my clients.

I became involved in real estate when I bought my first property - a triplex in Santa Monica, California.  After obtaining my sales and broker’s license I went on to sell properties (both residential and multiple units) in the San Fernando Valley.  I then moved to Palos Verdes where I serviced the South Bay Area encompassing Torrance, Hawthorne, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach and the San Pedro areas.  I then moved to Las Vegas where I specialized in the sale of condominiums and dealt with investors.   I am now living in the Meadows where my experience in real estate combined with a renown real estate brokerage firm will allow me to meet the real estate needs of those seeking to live in the beautiful communities of North San Diego.
