Find Your One of a Kind

Expert guidance through every step of your home search—from first showing to final signature.

A Designer's Eye. A Local's Insight.

After 25 years as an interior designer, I developed an instinct for seeing beyond what's there to what could be. When I transitioned to real estate, that perspective became my greatest asset for buyers. I can help you envision the potential in every property—and identify the pitfalls that others miss.

As a longtime Waterford resident and community leader, I bring decades of local knowledge to your search. Combined with the global reach of Sotheby's International Realty, you gain access to opportunities and connections that extend far beyond Northern Virginia.
