Luxury REALTOR® | Long & Foster #1 agent McLean office. $1.5B+ sold, 500+ 5 ⭐ reviews | Proudly helping buyers & sellers in McLean and Northern Virginia since 2006 | Every Transaction is Treated As If It Were My Own Growing up in a family business and raised with the “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” mentality, I have been infused with hard work ethics and values my whole life. Integrity, customer satisfaction, and simply treating others as you would want to be treated. I attended college in Oregon and developed a career as National Sales Manager with a food importer, focusing on the food service trade. After marrying, I embraced the world of the corporate ladder with my husband, Eric, moving 12 times in 18 years. I was approached by International Orientation Resources, a company out of Chicago, looking for a Destination Coordinator. From London to Dubai and Toronto to Hong-Kong, I acted as an independent consultant assisting corporate employees in moving their families and their lives to seemingly unknown places. This chapter was instrumental in developing my business plan. A mother of three, my husband and I now reside in McLean, VA. When returning back to the Northern VA area for the third time, I acted as the general contractor in building our home. This experience, coupled with buying and selling homes, interior design, and customer service, I was able to put all of my past careers and knowledge together only to discover that working in Real Estate Services would be a perfect fit here in the DC market. First came the real estate license …and I have never looked back. I have been a licensed Realtor since 2006, serving the VA, DC & MD markets. I have received numerous accolades, awards, and recognition from day one, thus resulting in continuing to be one of the top realtors in the nation and Long and Foster/Christie’s International. My in-depth knowledge and expertise to serve my clients are at the highest level possible. I sit in the Top 1% Nationally, Top 1% in VA, recognized as a Top Producer/Multi-Million Dollar Producer for NVAR & NAR and am consistently one of the Top 2 agents for Long and Foster Christie’s/McLean. Long and Foster is currently ranked #3 in the nation for all Real Estate Companies. I could boast about being on "Top Recognized" lists throughout the VA, DC, and MD markets, but don’t. My actions and testimonials from colleagues and clients speak loud enough. I am recognized among peers, colleagues, and community as being a leader in the industry and someone people WANT to work with. Statistically Speaking
I choose not to be a “listing” or a “selling” agent…but both. It is very important that I keep my portfolio of properties and buyers balanced; offering only the very best up to date market understanding to my clients. “It’s all about balance.” So, at the end of each calendar year when I look back, I remain 50/50 between listing and selling. I have been able to negotiate a contract for my buyers typically within 30 days with a 0-7% below list sales price. However, quite often a home is found and ratified within hours, if necessary. Because of my excellent reputation in the market, agents WANT to work with me because of my professionalism and ability to represent my clients well. The least expensive property I have ever listed or sold is $250,000. The most expensive property I have ever listed or sold is $16,100,000. I treat everyone with the utmost respect, attention to detail, and confidentiality. Regardless of whether you are buying or selling, I am a strong negotiator. Average Days on Market: 58/33
List Price/Sales Price Ratio: 98-94%
Familiarity with Geographic Area
Excellent! In addition to my own backyard, I am knowledgeable about surrounding areas and suburbs in other counties. I find that most clients gravitate to the McLean/Great Falls markets and often find themselves purchasing and selling in a totally different area because of criteria. I am well versed with private and public schools, employment, special needs, transportation, and can put my hands on resources to meet the needs of any buyer or seller. Because of this, I work with clients and agents from all areas to provide a valuable broad perspective. I have strong working relationships and am well liked and acknowledged as a “great realtor to work with” among peers. Recommendations can be provided upon request; however numerous testimonials are provided here. Current Trends
I offer current analysis and market updates for specific areas. No two areas are the same, just like real estate agents! Trends can change quickly depending upon inventory levels, consumer confidence and economic factors. I work intimately with lenders, title companies and attorneys to offer a full-service menu of options my clients. Market Predictions
I am involved in maintaining up to date information by participating in regional and national conferences, most specifically following the economic indicators as to how our market is affected here in Northern VA. I also work with agents on a national level offering referrals and information in areas outside of the Metro DC footprint. Overall Success
Working with me you will find yourself surrounded by a wealth of knowledge and resources to meet your goals. My character and hard work ethic is second to none, and I simply get the job done! Empathetic, with a sense of humor, I tend to be a realist and will remain steadfast in my honest communication while protecting your interests and privacy. A great problem solver, negotiator, adherence to professional standards and diplomacy, you will not find a better Realtor to work for you. I am masterful at reading people and intuitive at meeting their needs. Whether buying or selling real estate you will find me to be refreshingly innovative. I thank you for the opportunity to serve you~
