I am Licensed Realtor® who is a real estate consultant first and businesswoman second. I transitioned from corporate roles to residential real estate more than 24 years ago for two important reasons that still drive me today. I realized my natural inclination toward analyzing homes’ value and characteristics.  Even more so, I wanted to help people, especially the voiceless and the overwhelmed. Relationship building is paramount to my approach, as seen in fact that the majority of my new clients come from referrals. Buying a home is one of the largest investments people will make. And selling a home can be an intricate, even emotional process. A trusted ally with expertise in the Austin market, I will instill confidence in you and guide you through the entire process, no matter what your neighborhood preferences, price points, or family needs are. I am armed with the marketplace familiarity necessary to ensure my buyers find the right property at the best possible price. As an avid negotiator, I am well-versed in selling properties for top dollar. I recognize the amazing impact that positive actions can have on other people’s lives. Whether actively listening to my client concerns or utilizing my Spanish speaking skills to help serve Austin’s Hispanic community, I strive to elevate the quality of living for people across the Austin community. Organizations that I support and devote personal time and money to include The Center for Child Protection, Foundation Communities, Habitat for Humanity, and Meals on Wheels. My professional goal is to support clients with the same tenacity, determination, and high ethical standards that I employ in my own personal life. I love being a part of the Austin real estate market and I do not forget why I chose real estate: to help my clients. I also partner with my colleague, Evonne Gottsch, to support our growing clientele. I want people to be able to talk to one of us, I want to personally be available to all in our hot economy here in the central Texas. We provide a professional service and we are both straight shooters, you know exactly what to expect when working with us: well researched options, thoughtful advice, and honest opinions.     Personal Milestones Diamond Club Member for over 6 years Platinum Top 500 REALTORS® 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 Platinum Top 50 REALTORS® Finalist 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 Austin Business Journal's Nominee for Top 50 Residential Realtors 2014 Sapphire Circle Top Producer 2018 2016 RA Hall of Fame inductee Boston Marathoner 2005 and 1995 (I am “seasoned!”) Guild Member for the Center for Child Protection Services Active Member of several non-profit groups in Austin- Hispanic Women’s Network, Foundation Communities, Habitat for Humanity and a couple more
