With nearly four decades of experience in real estate, I bring a combination of valuation expertise, financial analysis, investment experience, and local market knowledge to my work as a Broker-Salesperson with Chase International.
My career in real estate began in Reno in 1986 as a real estate appraiser. I went on to earn a Master of Science in Real Estate Appraisal and Investment Analysis and an MBA in Finance, Investment and Banking from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Over the years, my professional experience has included institutional real estate consulting and asset management, where I valued and analyzed investment-grade properties throughout the United States for acquisitions, dispositions, portfolio management, and mortgage underwriting.
Today, I draw upon that experience in helping my clients buy and sell residential real estate on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, and the Northern Nevada region. My background in appraisal, investment analysis, and property ownership has shaped the way I approach real estate. I believe that buying or selling a home deserves more than simply identifying a property or determining an asking price. It requires an understanding of the subtle factors that affect value, local market conditions, and the financial considerations that influence important real estate decisions.
As a multi-generational Northern Nevadan and longtime Glenbrook resident, I also have a deep personal connection to the community I represent. I know and appreciate Glenbrook's various home types, its unique neighborhoods, rich history, and distinctive character. My interest in preserving and sharing that history has led to my involvement with the Glenbrook Historical Society, where I currently serve as President.
What I enjoy most about real estate is the opportunity to get to know my clients, to carefully listen and understand their goals and desires and then work to identify opportunities to make their goals a reality. I delight in showing buyers the tucked-away parts of our community inaccessible to automobiles—the places and amenities that make Glenbrook so unique and special compared with other Lake Tahoe communities.
Whether working with buyers discovering Lake Tahoe for the first time or longtime homeowners considering a sale, I see my role as that of a trusted advisor. My goal is to provide thoughtful, informed, and straightforward guidance, helping clients understand their options and make decisions with confidence.
