"I'm not #1...YOU are!"

I grew up on a farm in southern Minnesota and am the oldest of seven children. I became a registered nurse and worked in critical care for 12 years. I enjoyed the fact that no 2 days were alike I had to think on my feet do problem solving each shift. I am not one who likes to be in the spotlight. I would rather be in the background and help you attain the goal of selling your home or finding you a new one. I don’t sugar coat situations or information. I believe that sellers need to know what their home will realistically sell for in the current market. I will provide data from numerous resources to arrive at a marketable price. If selling now may not be in your best interest, I will tell you we can explore other options.

Business Philosophy

My business philosophy is simple: I strive to deliver a positive experience for every customer. This is accomplished through the collaborative efforts of the many members of our team who are dedicated to the success of your housing transaction. Coldwell Banker and I have been getting high marks from our home buying and selling customers in Minnesota and western Wisconsin since I joined the company in 1992. It is my plan to continue this tradition. We look forward to serving you.

Technology

Technology has made a huge difference in the way homes are sold and purchased in the recent years. Rest assured that I am confident in the use of these emerging technologies. From making the home search as efficient as possible by providing the most accurate information through an efficient process for the buyer, to employing the most current technological tools to successfully market your home, as well as all aspects of your real estate transaction, we are leading the way.

These professions have greatly strengthened my ability to counsel both buyers and sellers through a process that can sometimes be challenging and uncertain. Clients have described me as 'very detail-oriented and compassionate.'

Personal Background

I have lived in Minnetonka since 1975 with my husband, Denny. We have two grown sons and two grandchildren who are becoming wonderful adults. I like to garden in my spare time in the warmer months and in the winter I enjoy quilting and sewing- anything to stay busy. I am passionate about my customers and clients and many times we become close friends at the end of the transaction.
