Why I enjoy helping others make Maine their home...

Growing up in Portland and attending schools at both Catherine McAuley and USM, I have a deep love of this area and enjoy helping others make Maine their home.

Living and working in Greater Portland keeps me in tune with the hub of the Southern Maine Real Estate market. I started my career in lending as a residential mortgage banker in 1999 and have experience in several areas of real estate, including commercial lending and property management. As a former owner of a property management company, I am well versed in income producing properties, but also thrive in the finance of new construction and luxury homes.

Providing outstanding service and high attention to detail are the cornerstones of my approach. Creating lasting relationships, both professional and personal, is the secret of my success.

Let’s connect to see how I might help you make your dream home a reality.
