A native Virginian, I began my real estate career in 1983 through the family business of new homes and commercial real estate development. I am full-time licensed REALTOR serving the Northern Virginia area since 1986. In 2009, I served as President of the Fredericksburg Area Association of REALTORS, and have participated in many leadership positions and committees. I was most recently named 2008 FAAR REALTOR of the Year and received the 2009 Code of Ethics Leadership Award for both FAAR and VAR. As a member of the Virginia Association of REALTORS Board of Directors, I actively participate in governmental affairs as an advocate for property rights, home ownership and other real estate-related issues. My extensive knowledge and experience of the real estate industry, market trends, networking and negotiating skills will unquestionably allow me to provide the highest level of service and representation to meet all of your real estate needs. o Associate Broker, GRI (Graduate REALTOR® Institute) o Certified Marketing Specialist o Certified Relocation Specialist o Certified Short Sale Specialist o Quality Service Awards
