I live my life with the belief that if you take care of others, God takes care of you. With much that is given; much is expected. Others come first. Always. There is no exception.
My father and grandfather were both builders. As the eldest daughter of four, I was always enlisted to help out on construction sites. My dad would say, “Many hands make light work.” So that is what we did. From cleaning up trash in a foot of mud, to laying drain tile, interior painting, or clearing a roof from snow. I was there for it all! I loved it. That was part of my life. I learned the value of work. I graduated from Forest Hills Northern High School in 1997 and graduated Aquinas College in 2001, where I earned a degree in Business. I then thought, “Now what do I do?” For me, it was simple. I combined my affinity for homes with my passion for people. A profession in real estate offered the perfect blend of both worlds.
I began my real estate career in 2002. I have seen every type of market, the good, the bad and the ugly. For me, my passion is to help customers make the best decision for them, whether that is buying or selling, and sometimes the right decision is not to make a move.
My husband Max and I share our lives with our daughters Addison and Natalie. With two young girls, life is never slow and we are always on the go! We are so excited for the adventure of teaching our daughters the character and values that we live by and to raise leaders for the next generation. When not chasing children, I love to unwind by feeling the warmth of the sun and getting outside in my flower garden, painting, reading, pets, working on my aquariums, restoring The Vander Jagt, and even practicing Tae Kwon Do.
