If you're a professional in your industry, then you understand the value of having a strategic consulting partner on your team. My experience is in executing smooth transitions for buyers and sellers and facilitating seamless professional relocations and transactions. Perhaps you're relocating with a Fortune 500 company or are accepting a leadership role with an Atlanta area educational or health care institution. If so, I've probably managed the process for a colleague of yours already. My clients include professionals with Emory, CDC, Coca-Cola Enterprises, Home Depot, BellSouth/ATT, IBM, Russell, Ernst & Young, BNY/Mellon, Cox, IBM, Humana, SunTrust, Nelson Mullins, Sutherland, ADP, The Atlanta Falcons, Siemens, ADP, Turner, KPMG, Skanska, and Aegon.

In my long career, I have been privileged to associate with many of our city's most accomplished leaders, companies and acclaimed communities. I have an evolved network of elite business and personal contacts that I can put to work for you. Naturally, that begins with real estate resources including skilled title attorneys and lenders. My background in business development and marketing with Procter & Gamble and Nestle is a sound foundation for real estate sales - as well as an empathy point for corporate relocations. If you want an agent who understands the nuances of the Atlanta market, the finer distinctions between its neighborhoods, and the impact that differing schools and transportation options bring to neighborhood values, then we should speak. Whether it's a single family residence or a luxury condo or townhouse, I have the experience and determination to help you find the right fit.

My objective is to help you achieve your goals by offering sound counsel on the market's neighborhoods and conditions and offer appropriate valuation metrics and negotiation strategies. Never underestimate the value that superior real estate counsel can bring to even seasoned buyers and sellers...to help them avoid making the kind of mistakes that I'm called on to correct in the selling process every day.

My job is to help you realize the best value. My promise is to serve you with integrity and commitment. I'm a straight talker and more than willing to partner around your personal budget considerations. So, whether you're buying or selling, I invite you to reach out to me.

Community Service:
I've served on several community and professional boards, including the Project Open Hand Board of Directors, The City of Atlanta's HIV/AIDS Advisory Board and the Board of Unity North Atlanta Church. My partner and I - and our rescue hound, Zoe - have lived in and enjoyed many of Atlanta's most enjoyable neighborhoods including Ansley Park, Midtown, Morningside, Virginia Highland and Buckhead. We know you will feel as at home in Atlanta as we have.
