As a Broker with Coldwell Banker Coastal Rivers Realty, I bring some great assets to the Eastern North Carolina real estate market. Although I have lived or traveled all over the world, my husband, Paul, and I chose this part of NC because of its vast waterfront and the friendliness of the people. I chose real estate because I saw a great opportunity. I feel my global outlook helps to ease my clients' transition to NC since I am familiar with many of the places they currently reside or do business. I also bring a strong business acumen to my real estate business drawing from my experience as a former Director/Chief Operating Officer overseeing a distribution channel for a Fortune 500 Company.

Coldwell Banker Coastal Rivers Realty (CBCRR) is growing despite the challenges in the marketplace in 2008 and 2009. CBCRR leads the area in the number of agents, listings and is one of the top sales offices. It has two locations to serve its residential clientele – Washington & Greenville, NC. Plus, I am proud to be part of a new venture, Coldwell Banker Commercial CoastalMark that is specifically designed to serve Coldwell Banker Coastal Rivers Realty's commercial client s. Coldwell Banker Commercial CoastalMark provides unique tools for this market space and is part of Coldwell Banker's large commercial network.

I am a Full-time Broker who strives hard to "bring extraordinary service" to my clients. I work tirelessly to that end. I also believe strongly in "giving back to the community". Real estate is more than property – it is about a sense of community. I am active in several church organizations while supporting programs like Meals on Wheels and the Children's Miracle Network. In addition, I am a Board member of the Greater Belhaven Chamber of Commerce; a member of the Washington Beaufort County Chamber of Commerce; the Washington Beaufort County Board of Realtors®; the North Carolina and the National Association of Realtors®, and the Effie Raye Arts Society.
