Q: What made you become interested in real estate?
A: I enjoy the diversity of the marketplace, and I enjoy helping people find their special place in the mountains and the lifestyle.

Q: What is the most interesting thing that happened during an open house you hosted?
A:  Saw a moose outside the front door!

Q: What was your favorite moment in your career so far?
A: When I helped a person move out of a bad situation and found them the perfect property and situation.

Q: What do you wish you had known when you first got your real estate license?
A:  To qualify people immediately and determine their intentions.

Q: In what ways have you seen the real estate industry change since you started?
A: The emergence of the Internet, social media, virtual tours, and real time inventory.

Q: What’s the most challenging part of your job?
A: Lack of inventory. I am in a second home market, so it is a luxury to purchase a property and not a necessity, so it is challenging as people are not usually in any rush. Our prices continue to increase so many people end up getting priced out of the market by waiting.

Q: If you could sum up being a real estate agent in five words or less, what would you say?
A: Independent, inspiring, challenging, hard work, never a dull moment.
