Guiding You Home with Heart.

I know this transition from the inside out — and that changes everything about how I work. I relocated from Michigan, fell in love with the Lowcountry, and chose Charleston as my forever home. I guided my own mother through a senior real estate transition. This is not just my profession — it is my personal journey too.

And my commitment to seniors goes far beyond real estate. I volunteer as a Guardian ad Litem for vulnerable adults through the South Carolina Department on Aging, advocating for those who need a steady, trustworthy voice in life's most important decisions.

Having served as a personal representative for a friend's estate, I also understand the emotional and logistical weight of the probate process — and how to guide families through real estate decisions, whether selling an inherited home or navigating an estate sale in the Charleston area, during one of life's most difficult seasons.

As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®) with ERA Wilder Realty, I work with clients at every stage of the journey — though my passion and specialty lie with retirees relocating to Charleston and Summerville from the Northeast and Midwest, and Charleston-area homeowners ready to rightsize into a home that fits the life they are actually living today. With more than 15 years of experience guiding clients through life's biggest transitions, and a commercial real estate background, I bring expertise that goes far beyond finding the right floor plan.

I am immersed in the greater Charleston area's 55+ active adult communities — including Horizons at Carnes Crossroads, Del Webb Nexton, Del Webb Point Hope, Four Seasons at Lakes of Cane Bay, Horizons at Summers Corner, and Cresswind Charleston. I know the builders, the HOA structures, and the financing options most agents never discuss. Whether you are retiring to Charleston SC, exploring 55+ communities in Summerville, ready to rightsize your Charleston home, or selling a parent's home through probate, I will be with you from that first phone call to closing day — with clarity and honesty every step of the way.

I found my home here. Now let me guide you home — with heart.
