About Me

My photo
I was born and raised in Chattanooga. I attended UTC and graduated with a degree in Interior Design. Design and Architecture were my passions. I had planned to move to a BIG city to pursue my dream of working as a Designer, but ended up staying in Chattanooga to be with my "soon to be hubby" at the time. I took a job in the Insurance Industry (far fetched...I know) and actually LOVED it. Once our son was born, I left insurance and ended up staying home. Eventually, I followed my heart and jumped head first into Real Estate. This was my chance to work one on one with my clients to show them the potential of their dream home. Real Estate...this is my calling. I am blessed with a wonderful city to work in, a great husband who supports my dream, and a busy little boy who keeps me on my toes. So, if you are looking to buy or sell, I hope you'll give me a call. This homegrown girl would love to work with you!!!

Looking for a Home? Shop Smart

Know What You Need...Everyone's heard the adage: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. That is still important, but it takes more digging to find a house that will keep you happy for years to come.

Some things to look for are in plain sight, like a large kitchen for those who love to cook or a big backyard for kids. Then, there are the not so obvious factors, such as renovations to keep a basement from flooding.

Avoid impulse buying is critical. Make a list of everything you are looking for in your dream home and what you want in a neighborhood, then conduct your research accordingly.

Happy Home Shopping!!!
