My Passion for Real Estate and Helping Clients…
Yes, I’m in a wheelchair. I was born with Cerebral Palsy, and I’ve had to overcome obstacles my entire life. My most difficult obstacle? Other people’s perception of what I can and can’t do. I’ve learned that nothing is impossible, and as your Realtor I want to assure you that my tenacity and inability to accept limitations means you win! My job is to remove as much of your stress when buying or selling a home as possible!

Do you or someone you know need the expert advice and assistance of a Realtor who specializes in helping individuals who require barrier-free accessibility? You see, it about more than just installing a few ramps, it’s about functionality and ease-of-use. I know this, because I live it. Here are a few facts you need to know:
