About Me:
As a native of the rural, waterfront counties known as the Northern Neck of VA, I have a lifetime of knowledge about the area, community, and waterways. I utilize this knowledge to assist others that would like to purchase a weekend get-away, a waterfront retreat, investment property, second home or retirement property. It gives me genuine joy and pride to help my clients learn about the natural beauty of this unspoiled land and to help them discover their place in this glorious area.
I grew up combing the shorelines of the Potomac River, the Rappahannock River, and the Chesapeake Bay in search of shark teeth, Native American Indian artifacts, and river glass. My roots have grown deep in the soil of Northumberland County, VA, and Lancaster County, VA, as my family has been in this area for generations. I've seen the changes and know the history of this place and understand it and its people.
After a full career as a registered nurse, I decided to continue working with people in a different profession. Real Estate has been a wonderful experience. I've made so many friends and have maintained lasting relationships with my clients. I look forward to meeting more "new neighbors" who will cherish this "Land of Pleasant Living" as I do.
Let me show you what the Northern Neck of VA has to offer!

Having lived around the water and on the water most of my life, I am able to assist you with all your waterfront needs from selling to buying. My life experience and love of farms and horses enables me to have knowledge about equestrian properties and working farms. Since many people choose to retire in the Northern Neck, I earned the designation of Senior Housing Specialist (SHS) so I can be more effective in dealing with the retirement needs of my clients.
