Business Philosophy

• I respect that the decision of where and how we live affects us minute by minute throughout our days. I need to always remember to listen carefully, to behave in an honest and forthright manner, to be calm, committed and confident. Both selling or buying a house is a stressful process, albiet sometimes joyful. I believe in being a guide during that process, protecting and providing for the needs of my clients as best I can.

  Personal Background
  

  • I have deep roots in CT. My family has lived here for 250 years. I grew up loving the woods, the stone walls, and the rich patina of the past evidenced in the area's old Colonial houses. This love of houses and the land has stayed to the forefront in all my real estate work. I have bought and sold real estate for more than three decades and have never tired of it!
