Realty and Associates.

About me?  Actually, it's not.  It's more about you and what your needs are and how I can satisfy those needs.  If you are in need of a professional that will hold your hand from the beginning of your thoughts about selling or buying your next home, that's where I want to step in.  As your trusted adviser, I will lend a hand from the dream to the reality of handing you the key to your next home.  You know I can't be all things to all people all the time, but please know this, there is no one who cares more than I do about getting you to that next step in your life.  It's why I work.  I love what I do.  Call me when you have a question...call me when you are just needing to discuss the different aspects of a situation.  That's my passion.  I've continued to educate myself so I can be the best I can be for you!  You...my client and my friend!
Now...if you want to know a little about my personal life, I am a Wife, Mother and Grandmother now.  Life is very exciting.  My real estate business, a second career comes after retiring from an almost 30 year flying career.  And I can say enthusiastically that I am delighted to be doing real estate instead of flying from point A to point B with a cargo load of passengers and flight attendants to another hotel, another city etc, etc.  This career allows me to be home with my family, friends and clients. As a licensed agent in the state of Missouri for over 11 years, but inactive during the flying career, this previous licensing gave me the option to go to real estate school and obtain the Broker license. That's exactly what I did back in November 2004. Since then I've not looked back but forward to helping the clients God puts into my life on a daily basis. Every previous client is now someone I consider a friend. Life doesn't get any better than that.
On a lighter side, I'm involved with the Motorcycle ministry at church, riding with a gang knows as "The Crossing Riders" For wintertime fun, I downhill snow ski. Otherwise, I'm pretty much the worker bee...even lassoing my husband into becoming an agent to help me! He has now become the CFO...and general manager!

As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring 10 years of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate. I specialize in HUD, distressed and REO properties for the first-time home buyer to the seasoned investor. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home
Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.

I have lived in St. Louis for almost 35 years and love this town.  I like to do St. Louis things and love to go to the zoo, St. Patrick’s Day parade, the Muny, the Forest Park balloon race, Ted Drews, and music festivities throughout the summer. It’s a great place to live!

Personally, I’m a mom to two great kids, a mother-in-law, and a new grandmother to a sweet little baby girl, Amelia Rae. Our family keeps on growing, and I get to enjoy the fun of being a part of it. I like to go hiking, camping, fishing, swimming, and love to read a great book. 

As a graduate of Southeast Missouri State University with degrees in Marketing and Communications, I have had the opportunity to shine in several positions like HR management, Union Contract negotiations, Education and Training development and various other exciting fields.  It wasn’t until August 2009 when I got involved in the real estate world that I realized I had found my true professional passion in life.  

Since then I’ve had the opportunity to help many people realize their dreams which has made me realize mine! I believe in the personal touch with my clients and go above and beyond to make sure they get the house that's "perfect" for them.  It’s an energizing life that I am dedicated to.  I welcome the opportunity to help you make your dreams come true. 

 

 

 

After many years in the securities business, I decided to take a step back in '09 to enjoy some family time and do some travelling. My wife, Stacey and I also teamed up as Realtors in 2009 and are having fun working with many family members and friends.
I began my career as an Accountant for A.G. Edwards back in 1987. In the 1990's I continued my career at the firm as a Public Finance Investment Banker where we provided bond financings for states, cities, school districts, real estate developments and other municipal entities. In the 2000's I served as a Capital Markets Compliance Officer where I advised and represented our Capital Markets Division on regulatory matters.  When we were bought by Wachovia I moved on to a small St. Louis firm where I served as Managing Director and Chief Compliance Officer.  I was also a licensed Realtor in Missouri from 1996-2003.  
In my free time, I like to travel (Disney and Destin, FL are our favorites!), play golf, music (I collect guitars) and generally try to relax.  I've also coached youth soccer and softball and most likely will again when our youngest daughter starts playing.  In 2010 we finally fulfilled one of our dreams by purchasing a beach condo in Destin, FL and in 2011 we purchased a travel agency.  Real estate and the travel business keeps us busy, but it's fun and the businesses are nice compliments to each other.
If you know of anyone looking to buy or sell real estate, please send them our way.  We'd really appreciate the business!
