I have been with Allen Tate/Beverly-Hanks my entire real estate career. Originally from Maryland, I moved to Asheville in 1989 as I was recruited from Pensacola, Florida to be the Director of Membership at the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce. This gave me a great introduction to the special places and people that make Asheville such a wonderful place to live. Fro there, I went on to work in advertising at WLOS-TV, which gave me special insight into people and businesses in my new hometown. I then started my own advertising agency, Advantage Marketing, before going to work for one of my clients, Cardinal Mortgage.

It was inevitable, however, that I would follow in my mother's footsteps and have a career in real estate, so I joined Beverly Hanks  (now Allen Tate/Beverly-Hanks) in 1999.

I am grateful to have such a strong network of people and businesses that are a priceless resource for my clients and help make their full transition to making Asheville their home. After getting so close to the people I work with, they usually become my friends and repeat clients.

My husband Tom is a huge support for me and part of my real estate team. We are the proud parents of 11 grandchildren and numerous grand-dogs. If you see me, be prepared to see photos, as family is my passion. I have an excellent knowledge of the local school systems including the PEP program for special needs children and extracurricular activities including sports on all levels. Whatever your definition of family is, I want to help yours achieve an easy move. Each family member has concerns that need to be addressed, and I will try to listen to everyone involved and give assurance to their comfort level.

My 25 years of real estate experience in the Asheville community will provide you a shoulder to lean on when you are considering a change as monumental as purchasing or selling a home, especially in this current market. Multiple offers and ‘next step’ strategies require an experienced REALTOR®? to focus on the important details and keep your goals in mind.

The success of my clients happens because I have the systems and team in place to deliver results day in and day out. I am backed up by my personal team, and the team at Beverly-Hanks made up of marketing professionals, non-competing managers, and an administrative staff that is top-notch. That kind of support lets me focus on you.
