What did you do before real estate and how did you get
started in the business?
After ten years in mutual fund services, I started my own
business working for five years as household personal assistant.
Ive always enjoyed attending open houses on weekends just for fun,
so once I had my son, it felt natural to get my real estate
license. I was lucky to be able to ease into the realtor role, with
the help of a good friend (and colleague) to help me learn the
ropes. I truly enjoy all (ok,almostall) aspects of my
career inreal estate!
What is something your clients find comfort in that
makes them turn to you for their real estate needs?
I think my clients appreciate my responsiveness and
organization, as well as my penchant for going beyond the call of
duty. I take time to listen to my clients, and then we thoroughly
discuss the different scenarios that could occur throughout their
transaction. As an agent with Gibson Sotheby’s International
Realty, I strive to provide the white-glove service for which
Sothebys International Realty is known.
What are some of your favorite local activities or
organizations that you participate in?
I am currently involved in my children’s school PTOs. This gives
me a opportunity to meet new people and develop friendships, be in
the know for the benefit of my kids, and be involved in community
volunteer work.
What do you love most about where you live and
work?
Ive always lived on the South Shore of Greater Boston and I cant
imagine living anywhere else. Within an hour to ski or hike,
minutes to boating and beaches, and quick access to a vibrant and
historic city we have it all! More specifically, I live in Hull, a
small beach town peninsula. Im so fortunate to wake up to the
sunrise over the Atlantic and sound of waves crashing; and in the
evening, I can take a short walk or bike ride to watch the sunset
over Hull Bay and Boston skyline.
What are three sources of joy in your week?
That first sip of coffee each morning and a little time on my
yoga mat get me powered up each day. I love the ability to set my
schedule by the needs of my family and my clients. I get great
satisfaction from checking off my to-do list, which I have learned
to time block (thanks toNinja
Selling!).
