An experienced Colorado REALTOR® since 2001, the first thing you’ll notice about me is that I practice my career somewhat differently. Partially paralyzed in a car accident, I'm now a self-described ‘Wheeltor’, pursuing tasks using a wheelchair, technology, and the help of my selfless husband, Gary. I strive every day to be a positive example of someone who rises above adversity to reach new heights and challenges, and I don’t let my disability define who I am. I also speak Spanish.
I practice real estate because I believe homeownership is a fundamental way of establishing stability, wealth, and community. I genuinely enjoy getting to know and understand my clients and their needs so that I can deliver the quality service they expect and deserve, coupled with my expertise, a bit of intuition, and some luck! God is an important factor in my business so helping to realize your real estate dreams and being a part of that journey is a blessing for me. Daily, I find purpose in serving others which is one reason my real estate career suits me.
My mission is to uphold the highest service standards of my profession, offering prompt and informative communication and a thorough insight of the buying/selling process so my clients understand it, each step of the way. Homeownership should be available to all, and I aim to establish a business relationship based on honesty and integrity, including creating a professional, kind and respectful working environment while looking forward to serving those in our community who may have diverse buying and selling needs.
