Having personally moved 13 times in my adult life gives me a unique perspective of the excitement and the challenges of buying and selling a house, of packing and moving and putting down new roots, whether that be around the corner or across the country.
As a professional REALTOR®, I dedicate 100% of my time delivering world class service to clients. Whether you are selling or buying a house, I focus on your needs, help you achieve your goals and guide you through all phases of the process. I am committed to providing high quality personal service, not for one transaction - but for a life time - by building strong, lasting relationships, one person at a time - starting with you!
SELLING . . .
Selling a house can be fraught with legal, financial and emotional issues.
As your personal real estate consultant, I will guide you through this complex and often confusing process. Together we will identify YOUR wants and needs and design a focused plan of action to sell your house.
By utilizing my extensive sales and marketing expertise and professional affiliations, your house will be marketed to the widest range of qualified potential buyers. On your behalf, I will guide you in negotiating a contract that results in the expeditious sale of your house. Throughout the process - from initial consultation to the closing and beyond - you will be updated on a regular basis.
My goal is to market your house as if it were my own and to provide a pleasurable experience that yields the highest price in the shortest time with the least inconvenience to you.
BUYING . . .
Purchasing a home is one of the most important and exciting events in a person's life. Decisions made when choosing a home will affect your quality of life for years to come.
As your personal real estate consultant, it is my responsibility to guide you through this complicated and often confusing process. Together, we will define YOUR wants and needs and create an effective action plan to find your perfect home.
Once your perfect home has been identified, I will coordinate and monitor all aspects of the process - from writing your offer to purchase the home to delivering your keys at closing. Throughout the process - from initial consultation to the closing and beyond - you will be updated on a regular basis.
My goal is to locate your perfect home in the least amount of time at the best possible price.

Personal . . .
I was born in Portland, OR and raised in Denver, CO. I moved to Nebraska for college and with the exception of a side-trip to California, have lived in the Midwest all of my adult life.
I have been married thirty glorious years to Paul Byrnes who manages the local Culligan dealership and is a recent graduate of IU-Kokomo. We have one son, Ryan, who attends college in San Diego.
I became a REALTOR®, while living in San Diego - which is a highly competitive and litigious environment. Because of this unique experience and my personal history of buying and selling homes, I pay very close attention to individual wants and needs, to subtle changes in the market. I take extraordinary precautions in protecting your legal and financial well-being.
Prior to becoming a REALTOR®, I was in education - first as a teacher and then as a Special Education Consultant.
