I am full time, full service Realtor who will work hard to earn your business.

I have worked with everyone from first time home buyers to the seasoned investors .I have been a Realtor since 1999 but my Real estate Career started well before that as I grew up in a family with many rental properties. My Dad had me showing apartments for him before I could drive and mowing yards and cleaning up around properties before that. I now have rental property of my own and a lifetime of experience to share. I am a licensed Real Estate Broker, Mortgage Loan Officer and a Licensed General Contractor just to give you an idea of how broad my expertise is.

I have been a full time licensed Realtor since 1986, started my company in January 1999. My family is important to me. My daughter and her husband has blessed me with 2 wonderful granddaughters.

My Real Estate career began in 2014, but the passion existed before then. It all started in 2005, while I was in college. My first semester at UNO was cancelled due to the natural disaster known as Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina flooded out much of New Orleans. My city was experiencing such a shortage of housing that when I returned to school the idea of helping families find affordable living thru homeownership was all I can focus on. In November of 2014, after working in restaurants for 18 years, I finally became a licensed real estate salesperson in the state of Louisiana. My business goes beyond the professionalism that my Century 21 team and I can bring to the table. I want to get to know my clients on a personal level. I want to know and understand your real estate goals and get you there. My business is to create lifelong neighbors because that's what community is about. So how can I help you?
